Not exactly sure if it's cool that I post this here but wanted input from the Pauper community. I recently built a Pauper Battle Box. I don't have a ton of experience or depth of knowledge with Pauper (Peasant cube is why I frequent).
I was hoping you fine people could point me to some inefficiencies or straight up poor card choices and maybe help with some replacement recommendations.
4 Guild cards seems rich (read: heavy) for 150 card cube. Unless you do fun things like "Pack Wars" that force you into p, aying everything you draft.
I get your concept of not needing fixing, it is cool and opens up design space.
If you have no problems with the 4x Guild cards, why not runs some Arc/Wedge cards? They are all not balanced, but since mana is not an issue, you can pick and choose the ones tnat suit you.
I will also critize, constructively, your colors are not balanced. Some have expensive "meh" cards, while others very much have an aggro, lower curve.
What is the point of the Battle Box?
Why does it need to be ## of cards?
What is the meta you want to create?
Sidenote:
In CubeTutor you can use your Edit List to designate certain cards as certain color (s). I.E. Probe = Dimir, not Blue. You have a few of these that are really a guild card not a mono

Anyway, here's the list:

Thanks for your time and any advice!
If you want pure power, you should think about Oblivion Ring instead of Choking Restraints. Also you could take out Impeccable Timing and play Gideon's Reproach or Celestial Flare.
Also Man-o'-War is strictly better than Seperatist Voidmage.
Other suggestions:
Impulse instead of Anticipate
And Sign in Blood instead of Succumb to temptation
Lightning Bolt instead of Lash Out
And your red looks pretty aggressive, so you might consider to take out Thermo-Alchemist
Scion of the Wild is a pretty bad card.
Ornamental Courage the same. Take Aim High instead or Vines of Recluse.
Unnatural Aggression is overcosted, take Prey Upon
As said, if you want power, then you might take these suggestions into consideration.
But in both cases: Put in manafixing, those multicolored spells are way worse, without fixing. Rather play colorless stuff.

Ah, okay. Then OP may ignore my comment about fixing.
