Oh, and I'd actually take Plow Under; I have an unnatural love for that card. I was hoping it was a Pack 1 Pick 7 when I clicked the link...

I'll relay that to sky. Someone on reddit recently complained about that too but said it was resolved. What model is your phone? That may make a difference, but if it doesn't sorry, I really have no idea on how to do any of the technical stuff.
Plow Under is probably the right pick, since Borderland Ranger will probably wheel. The card is pretty nutty.
You certainly have a very different drafting style. But then, I'm used to Rochester drafting, where focussed drafts are the norm and signalling doesn't exist, so that probably explains a lot. You did end up with a very respectable build, so well done!
Some impressions, if you don't mind.
- assuming you want to draft green ramp, I'd take Rofellos over Eureka. It's an insane card in any ramp deck and Eureka has a bigger chance of wheeling back to you.
- I'd have taken Prime Time over Garruk Hunter, because it's a creature and as such has synergy with the green tutors: Natural Order, Survival, Shaman, GSZ, Worldly Tutor and Birthing Pod.
- Would have taken Birthing Pod over Coldsteel Heart, I usually have no need for artifact ramp because creatures are better (again, the tutor thing), and Pod definitely can work even in a Eureka build.
- Would not have passed Fauna Shaman or Survival. They can turn a good but high-variance build into a well oiled machine, by swapping out fat for ramp or vice versa, depending on what you need, as well as get utility when you need it. Similarly, I'd have picked the Zenith over Wildspeaker, it's great in ramp because it's both ramp and fat all in one card and just makes your deck much more consistent.
Otherwise, I agree with many of your picks. Also, I agree that running a single Plains is enough in your build - you have Sakura-Tribe Elder, Yavimaya Elder and Krosan Tusker to fetch it, as well as the other duals, Coldsteel Heart and Lotus Cobra; should be largely sufficient.
Was pretty sweet watching you think through a mock draft of our cube, thanks a lot! Welcome back anytime

Cool to hear! I appreciate the feedback. With the ones you don't agree on, I feel like it could've gone either way; mostly just preference and what I've drafted/played with recently. I don't like Pod in a Eureka build, though, cause it's rare I'm going to be podding into a 10 drop, which is why I'm playing Eureka. With Primetime v Garruk, I probably should've taken PT, but I never claimed to be good

Not really the best set for cube, but they don't all have to be monsters, especially core sets. I'll get right on that
