Hi! I finally got on and finished uploading my cube to cubetutor. It's a powered cube, that includes all the bombs and staples and most of the cubeable cards, while also caring a little bit about archetypes, so some of the cubeable cards have been replaced by archetype alternatives. Keep in mind that I use online rarities only. For further insight, here are the archetypes:
WB Bleed
UR Spells matter
BG Graveyard (creatures)
RW Tokens
GU Tempo (undefined)
As you can see, some of the archetypes have synergies with each other, meaning you can attempt to make a tri-color deck and be rewarded for it (for example both Graveyard decks, both Spells deck, Tokens + Sac, Monsters + Graveyard, Blink + Bleed...). That being out of the way, here's the cube:
I'm also feeling that I'm lacking in Black removal and Blue bounce / counterspells altogether. I'd also like to flesh out the UG archetype a little bit more, perhaps a Thresh style deck that uses Delve and flashback spells and overlaps with UB and GB archetypes. Any ideas?
EDIT: Also an off topic question: when leveling up my cube's AI do I have to pick coherent and on-color decks or do I simply pick the most powerful card of the pack so the AI knows which are the hot picks?
Welcome! I really like the way you've set up your archetypes for overlap and I may steal this format to make my article about arch support more grokkable
I'm not sure what about this is powered, as that typically refers to actual Power 9 and co. which aren't in this cube. And by your own admission, it looks like you've given up some power for archetype support, which throws some doubt on the powered label.
WU Blink
UB Graveyard (spells)
BR Sacrifice
RG Monsters (ramp)
GW Enchantments
WB Bleed
UR Spells matter
BG Graveyard (creatures)
RW Tokens
GU Tempo (undefined)

There are a few cards I'd like to include that where cut off, mainly on Bant colors. In order of preference:
- War Falcon
- Ampryn Tactician
- Cage of Hands
- Attended Knight
- Emissary of the Sleepless
- Thought Courier
- Vaporkin
- Welkin Tern
- Rushing River
- Jeskai Sage
- Nessian Courser
- Centaur Courser
- It of the Horrid Swarm
- Simian Grunts
- Rubbleback Rhino

Out of your extras, I really like Goldmeadow Harrier and Attended Knight in white. The Vaporkin and Welkin Tern in blue. And the Simian Grunt and Coursers in green. So I'll look at your cube to suggest potential swaps.
In your cube proper, I'm not terribly fond of Marshaling Cry (should be Inspired Charge or Fortify probably) or Marked by Honor. Elusive Spellfist is a less consistent Welkin Tern and Encrust should be Claustrophobia. In green I'm not a fan of Elvish Aberration, Mold Shambler or Thundering Tanadon - all overcosted for what they want to do.
