I would like to reply with my city (Boulder, Colorado) and a brief description of my cube (720 card Peasant) in the style of previous posts, but every time I try my post is labeled spam. Does this have to do with the location information or the brevity of the post? What am I doing wrong?
Well, that worked. Still, though, what was I doing wrong?
Having benefited very much from all y'alls hard work in tuning my peasant cube, I'd like to contribute. My cube supports an archetype that has some overlap with pants, but I consider its' own thing- Double-Strike/Pump. I consider it different from Pants because the idea is usually to win with one big swing, often saving the pump spell(s) until your opponent has decided which of your creatures to deal with. Also Pants tends to be supported most in Bant, while Pump is naturally supported in Naya. I'll post a list of specific cards in the style of previous posts if you agree that this deserves to be it's own archetype, but in the meantime here's a link to the cube I have build IRL and draft with friends about once a month, as well as some combos associated with the archetype.
The pump spells and creatures that work well in the deck are pretty obvious, but possibly less clear is that cards like Mother of Runes, Vines of Vastwood, Apostle's Blessing, and Blossoming Defense are very important to the deck. In fact the best Pump deck ever drafted in my cube had all 4 of these, and swept all 3 rounds of the draft.

Phyrexian Juggernaut + Temur Battle Rage
Immolating Souleater + Temur Battle Rage
Become Immense + Temur Battle Rage
(this one's pretty obvious, but I didn't see it on the combo list)
Also of note is that Inquisitor's Flail works well with double strike.
Oh yeah also Onyx Mage and possibly Archetype of Finality belong on the Pinger Control list!
Thanks for all your effort consolidating all this info! It's been and continues to be a great resource for me.
