My friends and I most often play Cube Draft any more. We play other "limited" events, too, but I was thinking of putting together a drafting set that was made up of all the good common/uncommon draft cards.
1. Pick any set(s) you want.
2. Post your top pick from each color and color combination (ex. W/B and U/B, etc.), artifact and/or land.* (separated by set).
*Post the top artifact and/or land cycle if applicable.
3. Give a reason why for each.
4. Commons and uncommons only.
I'll try to update this post weekly at least with a running tally of the top cards for this draft set.
What we're doing here is akin to taking the text of Moby Dick, locating specific words therein, rearranging them to create a passage from Fight Club, and concluding from this evidence that Tyler Durden is based on Ahab.
Well, this kinda becomes flawed in a sense, since alot of cards are first picks based on the draft environment they were in. Sure, you get stuff like Errant Ephemeron that's a P1P1 common in alot of environments, but you also have stuff like Silvergill Douser, that's not so hot when there are like 1 merfolk and 2 faeries in the entire set.
Though you might want to go over to the cube forum, as I've put forth a common cube that might be of help to you.

Well no one has posted reasons for their picks so far...but I've decided to change it up a little. Instead of picking top 10 overall, pick ONE card from each color, color combination, and an artifact and land (if any). Pick cycles only where necessary. For example, instead of picking one artifact, you would pick all the Obelisks of SoA. This is an effort to balance the draft set color-wise. The first post has been update to reflect this.
