I've been toying around with the idea of a multiplayer cube, and decided to go ahead and build it on tappedout.net.
Overview:
The multiplayer cube is intended to be drafted by 6 or 8 people. If 8 people draft it, the players break into 2 groups of 4 with even-numbered drafters playing against each other and odd-numbered drafters playing against each other. If 6 people draft it, the same is done but with 2 groups of 3.
One decision I made early on was to not put in aggro support. Aggro is much worse in multiplayer than it is in normal magic, so while a few true aggro cards such as Goblin Guide remain, for the most part aggro has been cut out.
Some themes include:
-Mass lifeloss/lifegain in black
-2 card combos, such as Time Vault and things that untap it, and Kiki-Jiki/Pestermite
- -1/-1 counters
Cube Size: 630 cards
80 cards in each color (assuming I can count)
83 gold cards
62 colorless fixers (lands, artifacts, etc. 63 if you count Solemn Simulacrum) Powered?: No, but would consider powering it if given a compelling enough argument. Balanced Gold?: No Functional Reprints?: No Un-Cards?: Yes Banned Cards?: Only for "unfun" reasons. No random discard except for Nath and Hypnotic Specter, no mass LD except for Wildfire.
Any feedback/suggestions would be appreciated! I couldn't find any other multiplayer cubes to compare mine to, so I'm sure there are some gems I've missed.
You would need to think hard before including it, but Limited Resources is one of the most powerful multiplayer cards that I know, and it isn't in your list. That being said, many players find it un-fun, so be careful (I am a big fan tho)
Just got to say, you've definitely earned distinction as an MTGS hero

Because he's the hero MTGS deserves, and the one it needs right now. So we'll global him. Because he can take it. Because he's not just our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. An expired rascal.

ExpiredRascals you sir are a god-like hero.

Since mine is right after yours (http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/showthread.php?t=353385)
I am going to assume you meant full rare multi. cubes. However, take a look at mine for what it may provide. Definitely consider Hurricane. I didn't see it in your green. It is awesome.
All right, I took the time to glance through black. I can only offer what I know so all are C/UC. Some are worthwhile in a multi. cube of any type.
Creatures
Wall of Souls
Abyssal Gatekeeprer
Nirkana Cuthroat
Plague Spitter
Spells
Phyrexian Reclamation
Disturbed Burial
Hissing Miasma
Seal of Doom
Syphon Soul
Blood Tithe
Pestilence
Enslave
Syphon Flesh
Obviously not all of these will fit with your vision for black. Still Abyssal Gatekeeper, Seal of Doom, Pestilence, and Syphon Soul are cards that become exceptional in multi. The first two are Rattlesnake effects and the second increase in power in a game where you have to deal with multiple opponents.
Adding Blue:
Creatures:
Looter il-kor is a great little package. Unblockable and helps reanimator if/when you support it.
Azure Mage is a great repeatable effect. Repeatable is very important when playing a long game.
Wall of Frost
Spells:
Whispers of the Muse
Echoing Truth
Legacy's Allure - One of the only blue Rattlesnakes
Mana Drain
Propaganda
Capsize
Confinscate/Volition Reins esp. since you run 'walkers.
