My inner-engineer came out, so I've been busy uploading all my Peasant Cube database into an Excel sheet to analyze different aspects of my Cube.
Things I believe are important to look after are:
- Curve in each color (depending of formats each color supports)
- Distribution of spells (% of creatures, instant, sorceries, etc.)
- Creature CMC Curve
1) What other things do you think are important for a Cube to be functional?
2) What CMC is the most "popular" cost among your cube cards? (Mine is 2)
3) What are the CMC's you look for in each color?
I'll tell you what archetype each of my colors supports so you can understand why my curves look the way they do:

I'll tell you what archetype each of my colors supports so you can understand why my curves look the way they do:
Boros - Aggro Honored Crop-Captain
Azorius - Bounce/Flicker Momentary Blink
Golgari - Sacrifice Matters Baloth Null
Rakdos - Aggro Rakdos Cackler
Dimir - Control & Reanimator Dinrova Horror
Orzhov - Enchantments Matter & Aggro Pillory of the Sleepless
Selesnya - Counters Matter Citadel Castellan
Izzet - Spells Matter Enigma Drake
Gruul - Monsters Bloodbraid Elf
Simic - Control/Ramp Temporal Spring
There are some tweaks my Cube still needs, for example, cutting a lot of 3 CMC Creatures in Red. I'll be posting more stuff soon.
