With 2017 around the corner, what new cards are you hoping to see to fill out your cube?
1. Black 5 drop. Custodi Lich was a start.
4. A bigger black planeswalker worth playing. I would love to see for black what Chandra, Flamecaller was for red. It would be a boost to black-based control.
6. An awesome Simic card. There are lots of pretty-good options, but other than Edric, nothing that really screams at you.
Check, check, check. Awesome.
Let's see some shards tribrids in Hour of Destruction, plus a P1P1-tier red 2 drop, and 2017 will be a banner year for the cube.

I can't say I'm pleased to see you and must warn you I may have to do something about it.
EDH: UGEdric
Pauper: URDelver
Modern: UGRDelver
Draft my cube: Eric's 390 Unpowered
Deranged Zombie Gang Commander of Invention
3BB.
Creature - Zombie Wizard
When ~ ETB, create two 2/2 zombie tokens
Whenever another zombie you control dies, each opponent loses 1 life
2/2
Liliana's Mastery and Under the Floorboards are close, but we really need that effect on a creature, preferably with 2 power.
Recrudescent Force 3GGG
Creature - Elemental
Trample
Forest cycling 2
On your upkeep, if ~this is in your graveyard and you control at least 3 Forests, you may return it to your hand
6/6 (7/7 too good?)
My wishlist:
- Another Purphoros, God of the Forge type card to solidify token combo as a real archetype.
- A Life from the Loam variant. (Maybe with flashback instead of dedge?)
- Another pushed Stax/Braids. (Highly unrealistic, because those cards are deemed unfun in all formats.)
- A Wildfire variant. (Highly unrealistic, because those cards are deemed unfun in all formats.)
- An artifact with a white color alignment (like what Spellskite and Vedalken Shackles are for blue).
- A (W/B) hybrid 1-drop akin to Figure of Destiny or at least Dryad Militant.
- One or two cubable equipments; optimally with living weapon. (I love living weapon.)
- Another big colorless artifact creature for 6-8 mana, mostly as a hardcastable Tinker-target.
- The five enemy Talismans.
- The five enemy Battle Lands.
Edit: I wrote that list before reading the first page of this thread. When I did that, I just saw that my list has a large overlap with wtwlf's list. Makes sense, since everyone running a traditional cube will have found similar holes.
@steve_man:
- LftL is optimal since it is both recurrable multiple times and fuels itself, but any sort of recurrable variant would be nice. Flashback was a just a suggestion. The lowest hanging fruit. I gladly take something with a more clever recursion ability.
- Sorry, I meant a good Wildfire variant. For 5 or 6 mana. 7 proved to be a bit too much.
- I meant a colorless artifact with a white color alignment.

What if your lftl with flashback variant's effect was:
Put the top three cards of your library into your graveyard then you may put up to three lands from your graveyard into your hand.
I know many of us have been waiting on a Magus of the Crucible, and it looks like we got it in Hour of Devastation. So pleased about that.

With the new vraska, the only color pairs in my cube with no planeswalkers are GW and UW. I want good planeswalkers in those colors, preferrably ones that aren't just generic midrange tokenmakers (a planeswalker that supports lands would be ideal!).
I also want magus of the seismic assault, maybe as a 3/2 for 2R
Right now, I really want a solid Boros control card. An upgraded Firemane Angel would be cool or really just some reason to consider anything other than Boros aggro.

And print the enemy bicycle dual lands please.
Boros control is one of my favorite decks. I look for the Balance/Gargadon combo, Wildfires and Earthquakes . . . basically RW mono wraths plus your friends Chandra and Gideon.

I like the idea of a Magus of the Seismic Assault. Not sure I need it, but it's a cool idea.

One of my EDH decks loves doing this sort of thing. I have an irrational love for Seismic Assault. I never could get it to work in Modern due to the horrendous RRR cost, but at 1RR or 2RR on an appropriately-sized body, I'd be slamming it in cube to live the Life from the Loam dream.
- More modal spells: charms, commands in enemy colors, and multicolor confluences would be really cool
- Enemy talismans
- Solid utility land in red
These all seem plausible. Enemy talismans would be great, and enemy commands would probably give us at least one staple, if the past is anything to go by.

if we were to get a GW it would have to be pretty pushed since the color combination is so stacked,
But it would be cool to see one which interacted and supported the lands deck.
maybe like a 1GW with 3 loyalty counters +2: put a land from graveyard into play
+1: sacrifice a land or exile a land from your graveyard: put a 3/3 token with vigilance into play
-6: You get an emblem which says: At the beginning of your upkeep you get a token whose power and toughness are = to the number of lands you control.
Something that allows you to move lands back and forth would be fun....
Check, check, check. Awesome.

Uril, the Miststalker RGW -- Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre C -- Vhati il-Dal BG -- Jor Kadeen, the Prevailer RW -- Animar, Soul of Elements URG
Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker R -- Maga, Traitor to Mortals B -- Ghave, Guru of Spores BGW -- Sliver Hivelord WUBRG
I honestly don't think this would be any good since Dredge fuels Life from the Loam and provides a lot of the card advantage.
