I've been thinking about making the dual lands the only proxies in my cube.
Collector's Edition/International Edition, my friend. I sold all my revised duals and turned them into a set of NM CE duals & power (give or take a few bucks). You won't regret it. They look awesome in sleeves...can't even tell they're square-bordered.

This is no longer an option. Maybe I should have done this 4 or 5 years ago. But now, a CE Underground Sea costs over 100 €. That is nuts for a card that isn't even tournament legal. I'd rather pay 1 € for a well made unofficial proxy than 100 € for an official semi-proxy.
The economy of the decision is relative, I guess. But then again, those same 100 euro USeas in 2 years will be 150 euro Useas, so take it for what you will. If I had a pocketful of money to blow, I'd be hoarding CE/IE duals and power until the sun goes down.
This thread amuses me. I have a powered cube, but it's all proxies, so zero value. I do however, have a peasant cube made of real cards (at a total cost of ~$300ish... I skipped all the absurd inclusions such as mana drain, library of alexandria, and imperial recruiter). Top 5 are probably, in no particular order:
Library of Alexandria
Moat
The Abyss
Nethervoid
Aaaand...
Underground sea I guess???
The same for me except the Underground Sea is Unlimited (which I won from a Legacy tourney). I was supposed to get a Workshop but someone bought the really good priced one, before me.
