Speaking of which, I'm trying to find the swap for the soon to be arriving Elspeth and I was thinking about either Archon of Justice or Marshal's Anthem. Thoughts?
I'd actually cut both and add Elspeth and Parallax Wave which I think is a fine card for a cube this size.
When I see Healing Salve, I'm often like "Oh girl, I wish I could turn every card into this." Thanks they removed the gain life part, otherwise this would have been broken.
Just a flat out improvement accross the board. I would miss Terramorphic Expanse though, I still feel that card is cubeable. I like it (and Evolving Wilds) over both Gemstone Mine and Exotic Orchard, both of which are quite unreliable for me.

If I don't get more colorless cards from Scars (to fill the gap between -10 gold, +10 colorless) I will likely add in both Expanse and Evolving Wilds. I like both of those cards a lot.
Finally got an updated list posted a little while back and thanks to the cube comparison thread, I am back in business. There might have been a couple changes in the past year that didn't get posted when they happened but the cube contents are correct as posted.
Latest changes include cutting down from 585 to 540 and a couple swaps. All comments welcome as always! Big thanks to wtwlf123 for the concept of moving the lands into the multi color section.
I like all of that, although I still run the Ravnica karoos in the blue color pairs in my 500 card cube. I like them quite a bit. Those are the only cuts I'd rethink.

Edit: Also, is Ember Hauler good enough for my cube? Any idea for swaps?
Seems like good upgrades all of them.
And Ember Hauler is good enough for any cube, no matter what size imo.

Minor update. Brought back Expanse due to popular demand.
