I am petitioning for the end of: the Mythic rarity, the Planeswalker card type, the post-8th edition card faces, the 2010 rule changes, colorless cards that aren't artifacts or lands, the Legendary supertype, the stack, auras, multicolor cards, artifact creatures, tokens, goblins, merfolk, elves, sorceries, instants, and permanents. Basically, I just want to play with purple contraptions.

but...it looks like a 5 year old drew it, isn't it the art that was chosen from a random reader or something?

From the looks of it, I think I'm one of the few who doesn't like the AP art at all (even though the GP art is rather meh.) Honestly, I'd be fine with either, as I'm proxying mine.
I think Vithian Renegades are very good, and would probably cut Apocalypse Hydra or Burning-Tree Shaman before cutting them. I love both of those cards, but if you want to keep the gold section sizes equal then I think they should be cut before the 3/2. The other three changes look excellent.

Hehe.. Do you give discounts?
Btw, I was thinking about starting a trade-thread for specially pimp card tradeing. I have some pimp-cards that I could trade to other pimp for instance.

For you, yes ( Since we are on this forum together)
(and anyone else for that matter)
I just have a lot of stuff that i got extras of
(Foil Wildfire, Foil Spectral Lynx, etc)
Interesting idea, not sure if that is already kinda covered in the market-street sub-forum?
So... After I have written down my entire cube, I don't really sort it up to make cuts anymore. When I need to cut something I just go through the cube and find the cards I need to remove instead.
That means my primary reason for keeping cards like Kird Ape in the colored section aren't really relevant anymore.
If the card requires colored or multicolored mana/sutuations to be played ideally, that's where it should go.
You could assign Exalted Angel as a colorless card because it can be payed as a 2/2 for 3, but we put it in the white section because that's where the card performs ideally.
Likewise, you could play Kird Ape as a red card (1/1 for R), but ideally it's played as a 2/3 as a red/green card. Same goes for every single other card on your list. Put them in their ideal locations, not their "this card is sub par if actually played at this" locations.
I think if a card is playable in its own colour then you can justify it - Spectral Lynx, Viashino Slaughtermaster and Orim's Thunder are the only real examples on that list. I have run all those before without their support colours.
I currently run Tin-Street Hooligan in red, but I'm not that happy about it in there. A 2/1 for 1R is pretty bad. I wouldn't play Sedge Troll, Bloodhall Ooze or Lumberjack at all really.
I finally found time to get, play and open my case of WWK. So I've updated my cube, and at the same time moved some cards to the multicolor section. This required me to make some cuts and replacements as well.
I'm glad you move the cards that function as gold cards to the gold section... that's where they belong.
Yeah, I agree. The only reason I didn't do it before is because of the cubes size, and that I didn't had it written up. It was just too difficult to go through the cube and finding all cards of a specific color when there was many different constrains and exception.
I had good experience with treasure hunt so far. But it's only good when combined with some sort of top library card fixing, like top, brainstorm, etc.

And this is why I don't like it. I'd rather run Think Twice ...and I hate that card. Treasure Hunt needs to be an instant to be even close to cubeworthy, IMO.

I like the AP art a lot more than the GP art.

I used to write cube articles on StarCityGames, now for GatheringMagic and podcast about cube (w/Antknee42.)
But the GP art is soooo bad...
See how I flipped that?
I like the original Spiritmonger art much better.

Treasure Hunt was awful. Most of the time it's just a cantrip for 2 mana.
