I actually really like a lot of these changes. I find a few of the cuts interesting (I have a very sexy Beta Fireball that will probably never cut from my cube) but I definitely see why you've made them. Goodwork, thanks for the update!

Thank you very much I felt like I only needed one X burn spell and Torch is perfect. More changes will be coming within the next few days as I found some other cards I'd like to add and noticed current ones aren't being played so yeah.
I heard it was good, so I tested it, it didn't play well at all, the 1/1s didn't ever impact the board when I got it going (Most I ever made was 5, those all just died to Gelectrode, other times I'd make 3 or 4 but still die by getting ran over) or my land would get destroyed and I'd get blown out. I wasn't impressed by it tbh :/
I really like these changes. I've always been a huge fan of Penumbra Spider. 2 Giant Spiders are hard for a lot of decks to deal with.
I was never really a fan of Rewind in cubes. It's no Dismiss. If you like Remove Soul type effects, Bone to Ash is just a more expensive Exclude. It's not the worst. I use my Legends Remove Soul in my Pauper Cube, and it really pulls it's weight. Not sure if you need that many.
I'm upset that you cut Homicidal Seclusion. I guess it just didn't do enough. Cabal Therapy on the other hand makes total sense. It's just not as good in cube as it is in constructed formats.
Faithless Looting adds a lot to cubes. It's a very power card and is a very strong card in a lot of archetypes. How good is Reanimater strategies in this cube? Are there enough good Fatties to make it viable?

You have absolutely NO IDEA how bad I wanted Homicidal Seclusion to work but 1 creature control decks don't exist and play well in Peasant It never got drafted high, or even played for that matter I do like the rest of my changes a lot though, but that one was the hardest, maybe one day it'll make it's way back in.
Drafting online, it's been really good, I have yet to actually draft it in real life Same with Mono Red, so next time we cube I will be sure to force them and see. Normally I draft dumb do nothing decks like UB Control and G/X Ramp lol. I did do Boros once and smashed, it was pretty sweet
Cool. I'd love to see how it turns out. I think it might need another Fatty or 2 (like Ulamog's Crusher or Pathrazer of Ulamog) if you wanted to draft a style other than G/B. Also, in my experience, Mono-Red is usually better than R/X Aggro, so I'm sure it'll be really strong.

I would really like to play more fatties in general, but I'm worried about shoving so many in, I just have to find the right balance.
I was looking at your cube recently, and I really like it. Though there two things I have been wondering:
1. Isn't Sol Ring way over the top in terms of power for this cube?
2. Can you explain a little what types of archetypes this cube can support?
Sure!
For #1, Sol Ring is a little powerful, that much is obvious, but it gets played more in control that anything which balances its power out because that leads me to #2. (Side Note: When I had Duress in my cube, and was in RB aggro, I had the choice of that or Sol Ring as my last card to play after drafting and I chose Duress)
#2 Control I believe is pretty horrendous in my cube, I have tried drafting control many times and it doesn't seem to work well. UW is pretty unplayable and UB is decent if you can get some of your key cards.
Lots of 2 color aggro decks are around, B/R, R/G, R/W, and Mono White aggro are all good. Ive ever seen Naya aggro.
Mono Red has yet to be drafted so idk how that fairs, same for 5CC, next cube draft I will be forcing those to see.
UR is pretty sweet, counterburn can honestly be really nasty if you get Gelectrode. He's really good in my cube.
UG or GW Ramp decks are fine, nothing amazing, if they get they're stuff and get going, theyre incredible, otherwise they kind of just durdle around, the fatties arent as amazing as they are in regular cubes either so ramp is a little weak here in that sense. Reanimator is decent but hurts the same way ramp does.
GB despite being the weakest color combination in multicolor cards in my opinion isn't that bad at all. People play it to some success. Canker Abomination is actually pretty good believe it or not.
I certainly think aggro is where you want to be in my cube which I kinda like but also hate, I like lots of creatures battling and swinging, but control really isn't even viable which sucks. UW control is by far the worst archetype to build in the cube because there aren't many control cards, it honestly just turns into UW blink, which isn't bad but isn't amazing either unless you get like Crystal Shard, tons of nutty ETB guys, and time to build your board. I'm still looking into trying to make control viable but it's hard without wraths and planeswalkers to hide behind, it might just be impossible, but I'm always looking and trying. So there's a quick rundown, I hope I helped you gather some information about my cube
Ok, some results after cubing tonight, I forced UW control first cube, my one friend also ended up playing UW control, I lost to mono red, he beat BUG. Those were the 4 decks for our 4 players. Then he ended up beating mono red and winning it all.
The second cube, I forced 5CC (which ended being 4CC) and lost to UW Blink in an intense and extremely fun game 3 (I lost game 1 and won game 2), where I lost by mill after the game went so long and drawing so many cards, he had Momentary Blink under Isochron Scepter and went to town blinking everything. He hit me with his Careful Consideration when I had 3 cards left in my library to kill me. Then in the other match, BW Tokens beat Mono Red and went on to beat the UW blink deck as well in 3 games. Was fun, but couldn't force Mono Red as our girl player only knows how to draft and play that lol. So there is some results

I was never really a fan of Rewind in cubes. It's no Dismiss. If you like Remove Soul type effects, Bone to Ash is just a more expensive Exclude. It's not the worst. I use my Legends Remove Soul in my Pauper Cube, and it really pulls it's weight. Not sure if you need that many.
I'm upset that you cut Homicidal Seclusion. I guess it just didn't do enough. Cabal Therapy on the other hand makes total sense. It's just not as good in cube as it is in constructed formats.
Faithless Looting adds a lot to cubes. It's a very power card and is a very strong card in a lot of archetypes. How good is Reanimater strategies in this cube? Are there enough good Fatties to make it viable?
You have absolutely NO IDEA how bad I wanted Homicidal Seclusion to work but 1 creature control decks don't exist and play well in Peasant

1. Isn't Sol Ring way over the top in terms of power for this cube?
2. Can you explain a little what types of archetypes this cube can support?
Sure!

(Side Note: When I had Duress in my cube, and was in RB aggro, I had the choice of that or Sol Ring as my last card to play after drafting and I chose Duress)
#2 Control I believe is pretty horrendous in my cube, I have tried drafting control many times and it doesn't seem to work well. UW is pretty unplayable and UB is decent if you can get some of your key cards.
Lots of 2 color aggro decks are around, B/R, R/G, R/W, and Mono White aggro are all good. Ive ever seen Naya aggro.
Mono Red has yet to be drafted so idk how that fairs, same for 5CC, next cube draft I will be forcing those to see.
UR is pretty sweet, counterburn can honestly be really nasty if you get Gelectrode. He's really good in my cube.
UG or GW Ramp decks are fine, nothing amazing, if they get they're stuff and get going, theyre incredible, otherwise they kind of just durdle around, the fatties arent as amazing as they are in regular cubes either so ramp is a little weak here in that sense. Reanimator is decent but hurts the same way ramp does.
GB despite being the weakest color combination in multicolor cards in my opinion isn't that bad at all. People play it to some success. Canker Abomination is actually pretty good believe it or not.
I certainly think aggro is where you want to be in my cube which I kinda like but also hate, I like lots of creatures battling and swinging, but control really isn't even viable which sucks. UW control is by far the worst archetype to build in the cube because there aren't many control cards, it honestly just turns into UW blink, which isn't bad but isn't amazing either unless you get like Crystal Shard, tons of nutty ETB guys, and time to build your board. I'm still looking into trying to make control viable but it's hard without wraths and planeswalkers to hide behind, it might just be impossible, but I'm always looking and trying. So there's a quick rundown, I hope I helped you gather some information about my cube

Also you mentioned Duress in your last post, but is it not there anymore?
The second cube, I forced 5CC (which ended being 4CC) and lost to UW Blink in an intense and extremely fun game 3 (I lost game 1 and won game 2), where I lost by mill after the game went so long and drawing so many cards, he had Momentary Blink under Isochron Scepter and went to town blinking everything. He hit me with his Careful Consideration when I had 3 cards left in my library to kill me. Then in the other match, BW Tokens beat Mono Red and went on to beat the UW blink deck as well in 3 games. Was fun, but couldn't force Mono Red as our girl player only knows how to draft and play that lol. So there is some results
