I recently resleeved my cube with KMC hypermatts. Previously I was using Dragonshields. I think the Hypermatts are the superior sleeve however I have one major problem in that the cut of the sleeves is not the same from pack to pack and it is very noticeable when the cube is stored. I had zero issues with the cut of the Dragonshields. I am very surprised because everything I have read or been told would suggest the opposite would have happened.
I really like Augury a lot. Much more than Charm and Electrolyze.
Cheers,

I do too, it was quite good for us. However, Ral is better, and we like Fire // Ice slightly more still, so Augury will likely be the cut for this beast.
I recently cut Steam Augury as I felt it never did anything for us. I added Prophetic Bolt back in as a placeholder for Dak. My question is do you think a small Izzet section should contain 2 Planeswalkers or should Ral Zarek be the cut? I have several guilds that don't even run 1 Planeswalkers.
I'd cut Chandra's Phoenix for the red card. I'd try and find a different cut for the black card, but if it has to be one of those two, I'd cut the Will.
Cuts are getting kind of tough to find. How about Nether Void?
I also run with a group of 4 people and my cube started at 540, then 450 and now 370. I found the last 80 cuts pretty hard. There is a list in my thread of all the cuts I made at each step. My cube is also powered. Hopefully this will help you a little.
Edit.. I just read further and saw that you already made the cuts. Oh well, maybe it could help anyway
I use tokens for every card that produces one. I keep them sorted by color then alphabetically. They are sleeved in a different color than the rest of my cube. I also keep about 2x the tokens that the effect produces. The only card I think I currently run that doesn't have a token is Pack Rat. I just use more Pack Rats as tokens.
After a few weeks of testing I decided to cut my cube down from 450 to 370 cards. Here are the cuts I finally decided on. There were several guild cards I didn't want to cut to get to 360. Please let me know if you guys would have made different cuts.
I completely agree. As I've started to pimp my cube, I've really come down on the side of Beta cards as much as possible. There's something about the simple, unadorned, classic pictures that I just love.
I decided it might be fun to try and pimp out my cube. In the past I haven't bothered, since cards are cards, but I like to trade, and there's very little I need to trade for any more. Anyway, here are some new acquisitions. I'm particularly excited about the mint Beta Mind Twist!
Testing my cube at 360 I am running Psychatog, Duskmantle Seer and Shadowmage Infiltrator. I really hate losing Creeping Tar Pit but I'm not sure which one to cut for it. All 3 are drafted a ton in my cube. Any suggestions or should I give up on Tar Pit? I'm tempted to cheat and throw it in my Land section but I think it's unfair to the other guilds.
I'd like to be added to the bypass list as well. I am not able to update my cube list changes as linked in my signature.
Thanks

Nice haul.
I couldn't possibly agree more.
This. I find most of the MM foils look better. I have switched out several to MM foil.
I like the promo Batterskull more than NPH.
Jealous of the Beta Mind Twist. Nice haul.
Glorious Anthem for spear seems like an easy cut unless you want both anthem effects. I would cut Loam Lion for Soldier
