These articles are really well done and very helpful. I didn't know this blog existed until yesterday and I've now read all of these articles and used the information in most of them to force those decks in my cube on CubeTutor. This is the type of cube article I'm most interested in. It's what I was attempting to do with my most recent thread about the Wildfire deck, but these blog entries put that thread the shame. Very well done, man. Seriously. Two big thumbs up from this guy and I hope you get back into writing these.
With all that said, there are several archetypes available in cube, so the sky's the limit on these things. Some archetypes that interest me that you haven't done yet would be:
UX tempo/aggro (e.g. Sui Black with blue tempo support, UW Skies)
Bant Midgrange Tempo (Eternal Witness, Time Walk, Crystal Shard) Side Note - I wouldn't include these tempo decks in the same article. Both decks are tempo, but they play very differently.
Wildfire (I'd love to read your take on this deck)
Mono X (Basically any mono colored deck is a force to be reckoned with. Mono red or white aggro, Mono black control, Mono green ramp, etc)
UG Upheaval Ramp
RDW and/or RX Aggro
Those are the decks that I tend to play most often from my own cube (excluding BG Rock and Naya Lightsaber/Zoo), so I'd really enjoying reading articles on them. I'd also be really interested in reading an article the artifacts deck since it's not a deck I support, so I don't know much about it. Anthony did a wonderful job on this with his article over on LegitMTG, but I'd still be interested in reading yours as well.
I want to 2nd Wildfire Archtype, but if not that, I want to see you go over Upheaval.
Also, maybe fleshing out the combo part (maybe tackling the elephant in the room that is storm) would be good.
U/x ramp, and then wildfire (which often includes upheaval... for maximum troll). I have been playing wildfire since urza's (I crushed many a tournament with Kai's deck), so it's certainly in my wheelhouse.
I feel a bit guilty for only commenting on the awesome alters... the articles look really good, too. I haven't fully read one yet, but they look comprehensive, well structured and I like how you break them up with pictures of your alters and funny captions.
