TL;DR - I analyzed the frequency of cards which support the archetypes in this thread and made a card list on cubetutor. The link is right before the list of supported archetypes.
I'm kinda new to MTG (THS block) and new to Cube. I made a cube with what I had http://www.cubetutor.com/viewcube/4858 and slowly picked up a few cards along the way. It's low power with card value max of around $10. Anyway, to create a better environment I wanted to start learning about archetypes and supporting them better. I found this amazing thread the best resource so far. As a data guy my first instinct was import the data and analyze. So I did.
Fortunately the MTGO format is pretty easy to read into a python notebook and python made quick work of some basic analysis.
This cube card list was the outcome - a view of which cards are best at supporting multiple archetypes or combos based on this thread. There are 504 cards here that support 40 archetypes/combos as described here. 426 of the 504 cards support 2 or more archetypes/combos.
I haven't really cleaned it up to remove basic lands or renamed the combos. They are just ordered in the way they appear in the thread. When I am less lazy I will rename them. I am going to post another cube card list of cards that support 3 or more for those looking for tighter cubes.
Unfortunately for me many of these cards are high priced and wont help me build support in my cube. Maybe I can get associated prices for the list, sort and cut off anything over $10. Then I will have to be creative about the balance. Who knows..
