Hello there! I see a lot of completed lists in this thread, but I've been told that this is the correct place to put a work-in-progress thread. So, let's get started.
Format: Modern pauper cube Size: 360 cards Players: No more than 6 usually Thread updates: Once a week
Card ratios: 54 white, 54 black, 54 red, 54 green, 54 blue, 40 uncoloured, 30 multicoloured [3 of each guild colour] and 20 lands
Of course, any suggestions of fun cards to put into the cube would be appreciated - but what I'd most like is help developing themes for the deck. As I explain in the first video, rather than planning themes right now, I will see where the first few cards in each colour takes me. What I'm most likely to ask for help with is picking between cards for archetypes later on.
If you've read all that, then thank you! Any feedback would be awesome.
Thank you very much Jon. We'll see how the colourless goes - I'm not making a cube full of the best Modern commons, I'm making a cube with what I believe is the most fun Modern commons. If I can balance the good with bad through each column, it should be fine. I'm keeping track of the sub-par cards each column is getting, and if during play one colour dominates consistently, then it can be fixed. Plus, Equipment is my favourite card type.
Next video is rendering. One question I have - the last four colourless lands I have in mind are Haunted Fengraf, Desert, Terramorphic Expanse and Evolving Wilds. Already have Quicksand. Have I missed any good Modern Pauper colourless lands? Don't want to run the fetchlands particularly, but I don't want to run the produce any colour for a cost lands either [Rupture Spire, etc].
I am so stealing your list.
Thanks for the great videos. I am planing to prepare something similar in the near future. I'll be following and hopefully can come up with some suggestions as you progress.
Here is a first one: Transguild Promenade
Perflubon: hehe, sorry for being awkward. With the landfall equipment, it would make some nice interaction with the Evolving Wilds and Terramorphic Expanse. Regarding them a bit better now
Juju: thanks, hehe. Every few months I swap my beard for something else. Currently it's Colour Sergeant Bourne. Would rather not run Modern-framed Legacy cards, as one of the reasons I'm making this cube is to try and convince my friends to get into Modern. It's my favourite format, but so far I can only play it online. Just booked my flight to my first Grand Prix though, Antwerp. I'll get to play Modern in person there, at least.
Pwnicorn: will have a look through tonight

My Cube
I really can't get past it.
Good luck to you though man. Are you keen to add modern frame cards that aren't actually legal in Modern? Brainstorm etc.
