@Lucidvision - you mention in one post that you probably wouldn't run Man-o'-War or Spellseeker at 360 (or at least that was my interpretation. I found this very thought provoking.
@Everyonee
What is the third inclusion after TNN and Clique (I assume these two are consensus top 3) at the blue 3 drop spot? I run those two plus Man-o'War currently.
I appreciate the discussion back and forth. I think everyone has had the opportunity to learn something they did not know before the conversation.
That is a good point. I don't support the Kiki-Jiki/Splinter Twin combo. Space at 360 is tighter than ever and the value decks don't have as much time to grind value when the format speeds up and overall casting costs come down. I think I will stick with Imperial Recruiter for now. I appreciate all of the feedback.
Thinking of replacing Parallax Wave with Elspeth, Sun's Champion. I am worried that I am giving control too many toys. This would also be white's 4th planeswalker not including Kyteon. Any opinions on this?
How many payoff targets for Tinker are needed in the cubes of today? I run a 360, and it seems like many cards that were targets a few years ago for Tinker have been cut and replaced with things Tinker can't get - Emrakul, the Promised End, Ugin the Spirit Dragon, Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger, Walking Ballista, and Hangarback Walker. Meanwhile, the best payoff cards are drawing the attention of Sneak Attach, Show and Tell, Super Ramp, Eureka...
Since reducing the size of your cube, I have noticed that you are running quite a bit more mana fixing lands than I would have expected. You are running the ABU duals, fetches, and shocklands - all of which I would have expected, and also all the dual colored manlands plus the vivids. On top of this you are running around 7 lands that I would classify as rainbow lands. Your cubes is 405 cards. This is about 13% color fixing land for your cube. I run a 360 powered cube and run the ABU duals, fetches, and shocklands with around 5 or 6 rainbow lands. This is around 10% of my cube. I am wondering why you have so much more fixing. Do you really need that much? Do you feel like the manlands are just that powerful?
I know the standard response is to just play the cube and figure it out with your group. In my case, I am a cube curator, not a cube player. I don't have a group to play with or the time to play, but I really like the idea of cube so I made one. I am just trying to make it as powerful as possible for the rare chance I get to play with someone. I am trying to decide if I should pick up manlands.

The cube is 360 powered but does not support storm.
