I went through a mtgo holiday cube draft with the intent of being as through as possible in explaining my decision making process. I hope you enjoy and/or find it helpful! https://magicalideas.wordpress.com/
Listening to the draft right now at work, so unfortunately don't get to see all the options, but in terms of the commentary you speak a lot which is very good and are clear about your choices.
And fwiw I think Mana Vault is the better P1P1, but I can totally see the justification for taking Jace there. Typically it's almost almost always better to take the card that places the broken cards early i.e. the colorless power/"power" mana ramp, but Mana Vault is on the lowest of the high tier for those and Jace is on the highest tier for non-power cards, so it's certainly close.
Salmo thanks for the listen, I'm happy I could add some value to your workday.
I am still unsure about the pick. I think playing with mana valut more may be the best way to realize what is more valuable p1p1. In a future draft I'd take vault for that reason. I tweeted owen turtenwald about it so hopefully that will clear it up.
I've got another cube video rendering as I type so check back on Magical Ideas to see it about four hours after this reply. I'm no cube expert but so far I've been able to go infinite on holiday cube, having done 11 in the past 2 days without paying and hopefully each time I record it showcases some sweet cube interactions for you to enjoy!
