I ran two different Geddons until I found a Ravages for like $40 soon after the Judge foil hit. It was fine.

I'd cut Coercive Portal and Ruin Raider, most likely. Karn basically is a better Portal and Ruin Raider has token synergies with Purphoros, Bombardment, Clamp, etc.
I would find another card to cut from your blue section. Just looking through, I'd cut any of these first: Wake Thrasher, Master Transmuter, Riftwing Cloudskate, Arcane Denial, Thirst for Knowledge, Ancestral Vision, Serum Visions, and Future Sight. Closest cut would be Thirst or Ancestral Vision. Probably Vision since Thirst is a graveyard enabler.

Wildfire in a heartbeat. Twin's been done to death. Wildfire's more wide open because you can do it in any color pair.

It's hard to picture cutting either Recruiter from my cube. They're pretty irreplaceable in a singleton format. Having a second Braids or Rofellos can make the difference in those decks. Also, having a second copy of value creatures like Angel of Invention, Glen Elendra Archmage, Mulldrifter, Chupacabra, Pia and Kiran Nalaar, Siege-Gang Commander, Acidic Slime, Hornet Queen, Knight of Autumn, Solemn Simulacrum, Metalworker, Walking Ballista, Hangarback Walker . . . the utility is real.
And that's to say nothing of the Kiki-Jiki package, which makes both Recruiters absolute includes.
Then again, I have an unnatural love for all things tutor in this format.

I would cut Vorapede, which is a cool critter and all, but Behemoth as a mana reflection and especially for introducing monarch is a ton of fun. Love that card, and I want to find room for it again because monarch creates such fun gameplay.

I cut Hero a while ago because it felt redundant, but with the rules change on Hellrider, I'm wondering if it's closer for any of you.

I'd play Ulamog first, but at 450 I'd find room for both somewhere. Emrakul is a sweeter play, but Ulamog probably wins more games.

I cut Karn Liberated at 360 and don't really miss it. Ugin's just better in this format. Will play the new Karn for cost and purpose diversity.

Maybe Disenchant or Imposing Sovereign, and Burst Lightning? Geez, managing a 200 card cube must be brutal.

Cryptologist for sure, if only because it's a wide-open spot in cube.
I like Miscalculation over Forbid and way over Pact.

I'd run Psychatog over Ashiok, but those are two of the more controversial cards in the cube community. Some think Ashiok is the best UB card, while others of us have good opinions.
I'd play Knight, then Voice, and then way later, Sigarda. I don't have guild space for big beaters unless they also crush the board like Atarka does. Knight has some sweet synergies with the land package stuff like Loam, Ramunap Excavator, and Crucible, plus all the sweet cube lands. That's especially true in small cubes running full sets of fetches. Voice may be better though.

Elder is a card that's going to get outclassed someday, but for right now, there's no better green card advantage I can think of under 5 mana that can also carry a sword. Nissa is fine. Rishkar is a fun card that makes for a good EDH general, but unless you've got something goofy going on, isn't worth including.

Earthquake is a slam dunk over Pyroclasm. I wish I had room for Pyroclasm, since I've got a sweet, beat to hell version from Ice Age that looks like it's killed approximately a million Llanowar Elves in its day, but the two Quakes are just so much better.
