I keep my cube a copy of Wtwlf123's right now. I am in Grad school and just don't have the time to draft enough and know what is working and what is not. However, I do run some UN cards!

honor of the pure -> Disenchant

Pact of Negation -> Enclave Cryptologist
Phyrexian Negator -> Skinrender
Word of Seizing -> Staggershock
Magus of the Scroll -> Plated Geopede

Cube has been completely revamped to 360. At this time I am staying very close to wtwlf123's list. As my group experiences the cube more, we will decide if we want to deviate in any way. But wtwflf123's list is very solid, as tight as I have ever seen it, and can't help but lean on it heavily. Great work wtwlf!

Minor Update: Cube is now filled with all the foils it could have, and plenty of alters. I hope to put photos up in the next month.
The plan is to cut 1 card from each colour, along with the 5 tri colour cards, to make room for an extra card in each guild. So far, this is what I have in mind:

Thanks for the analysis and typo check Eidolon! I especially like the ! beside some cards =P.
Hey wtwlf123:
I have stayed away from the landfall creatures. I guess you have had good experiences with them in aggro?
I agree that I need to put disenchant in, for sure. Although I am using prison term over journey atm.
For blue, I opted to use more 3 mana counters to give the aggro decks a bit more room to breath (and also use pact of negation).
Skinrender is a fine card, to be sure. I opted for Ink Eyes, but could easily try out Skinrender in her place. I tested Sacromancy and found it OK, but not amazing. I'd put it back in, just need to find the space.
Staggershock is actually in the cube as a test card right now, and I have been very impressed with it! I have been less impressed by forked bolt, though. And again, unsure about the landfall dudes.
For green, I dropped Indrik for brutalizer exarch, and the elder for beast within, although both can be switched back easily. Krosan tusker is in the cube, I just forgot to add it on the list. I dropped vines, but may add it again. Just not sure what I would cut for it.
In blue white, I actually lost my Grand Arbiter, and have been using Azorius Guildmage instead. I prefer the planeswalker over the wall, however.
For artifact dudes, how have you found Lodestone?
City of brass is in the cube. I am probably going to pick up a grand coliseum when I can. Looks good.
If you're using Un- cards, get a City of Ass in there pronto. It's likely the best mana-fixer.
I agree. I am actually looking to get one altered. Although their is not much going on around the borders, it might be nice. get a winter city of ass to go with my winter city of brass =P.
Symbol Status is insane. If your concern with the card is people taking forever to pick out different symbols for lands, it rarely takes more than a couple minutes. The card rarely drops for anything less than 4-5 guys, and when it hits big it's game over.
Magical Hacker is a card that is either the best card in your deck or does nothing. He makes planeswalkers insane and totally nerfs any equipment worth its weight, but on a dead board he's REALLY dead. I say he's worth the test--he's earned his stripes here, but it's important to know first-hand how much use he doesn't get by playing with him and seeing if it's worth it.

Yes to city of ass.
I had tested blast from the past for a few months, and my play group was just not impressed by it. So it was cut.
Status symbol seems interesting, but I use all zendikar lands =P
The problem with magical hacker is that blue is really deep, and doesn't need that type of ability to become better I think. At least in a 450 cube I think.
Vandals. It kills the artifact faster, trades up higher if it blocks after resolving, and on an open board, bashes for more after echo. And your opponent can't use creature theft to steal it (well, unless they're also in red, that is).
You realise Blast from the Past can be cycled and madnessed at the same time? 1RR for a shock and a card is pretty good. It's like a moncoloured Electrolyse... sort of. Combined with the other insane crap you can do with the card later in the game, I fail to see how it didn't impress your group enough.
Don't forget Gift Given: Quadruple Cranial extraction plus the ability the play some cards if you share colors is enough to castrate lot of dekcs.
Evil Presents: It's a discard + reanimator package in one card.
Gifts Ungiven is just straight up unfair. Highly recommended :D.
We ran Evil Presents too for a while. In the end it was too weird for us though (rules weird), but if you can make it work it's a fun card. How would it work with Phyrexian Negator?

That's what I kept telling them! =P. I personally enjoy the card.

My 50th Set (P)review - Discusses my top 20 Cube cards from OTJ!
Hey wtwlf123:
I have stayed away from the landfall creatures. I guess you have had good experiences with them in aggro?
I agree that I need to put disenchant in, for sure. Although I am using prison term over journey atm.
For blue, I opted to use more 3 mana counters to give the aggro decks a bit more room to breath (and also use pact of negation).
Skinrender is a fine card, to be sure. I opted for Ink Eyes, but could easily try out Skinrender in her place. I tested Sacromancy and found it OK, but not amazing. I'd put it back in, just need to find the space.
Staggershock is actually in the cube as a test card right now, and I have been very impressed with it! I have been less impressed by forked bolt, though. And again, unsure about the landfall dudes.
For green, I dropped Indrik for brutalizer exarch, and the elder for beast within, although both can be switched back easily. Krosan tusker is in the cube, I just forgot to add it on the list. I dropped vines, but may add it again. Just not sure what I would cut for it.
In blue white, I actually lost my Grand Arbiter, and have been using Azorius Guildmage instead. I prefer the planeswalker over the wall, however.
For artifact dudes, how have you found Lodestone?
City of brass is in the cube. I am probably going to pick up a grand coliseum when I can. Looks good.
Thanks for the feedback!

I agree. I am actually looking to get one altered. Although their is not much going on around the borders, it might be nice. get a winter city of ass to go with my winter city of brass =P.

City of Ass has been talked about.
Blast From the Past is great utility--a swiss army knife of burn.
Symbol Status is insane. If your concern with the card is people taking forever to pick out different symbols for lands, it rarely takes more than a couple minutes. The card rarely drops for anything less than 4-5 guys, and when it hits big it's game over.
Magical Hacker is a card that is either the best card in your deck or does nothing. He makes planeswalkers insane and totally nerfs any equipment worth its weight, but on a dead board he's REALLY dead. I say he's worth the test--he's earned his stripes here, but it's important to know first-hand how much use he doesn't get by playing with him and seeing if it's worth it.

Yes to city of ass.
I had tested blast from the past for a few months, and my play group was just not impressed by it. So it was cut.
Status symbol seems interesting, but I use all zendikar lands =P
The problem with magical hacker is that blue is really deep, and doesn't need that type of ability to become better I think. At least in a 450 cube I think.

Juju Alters - Altered MTG Cards
Gifts Ungiven is just straight up unfair. Highly recommended :D.
We ran Evil Presents too for a while. In the end it was too weird for us though (rules weird), but if you can make it work it's a fun card. How would it work with Phyrexian Negator?
That's what I kept telling them! =P. I personally enjoy the card.

I am always actively trying to find gifts given, just a rare card. Evil presents is fun too.
Once more with feeling looks pretty hilarious. I may have to test it out.
Frazzled Editor is interesting, because I dont think it includes flavour text, so its hard to find things it is immune to.
