    Too many high-CMC bombs. Putting Sol Ring in peasant cubes.

    General Need Help with the Design Skeleton of a Cube.

    Should I assume you've already read this article? http://www.channelfireball.com/articles/cube-design-declassified-information/ You seem to be fighting against natural draft dynamics here. There's going to be 10 guilds for 8 players (will you even have that many?), but you want one-guild decks...

    General Riptidelab mostly-custom cube attempt #1

    It must be either a weird bug, or you are mistaken then. Weapons are NOT spells in HS, not ever. I am not on board with the whole "let's synergize with fetchlands!" thing. Aren't fetchlands good enough already? Do you want fetchlands to be higher picks than everything else in the cube? A few...

    When was this? It could have been an early bug. I am 99% sure it doesn't happen now. (I can't test it right now...)

    I'm pretty sure weapons aren't countered by Counterspell in HS.

    General Otherworldly Magic Effects

    The fact that there's an odd number is nice, though. Maybe 3 colors are enough.

    General Otherworldly Magic Effects

    You could rotate the existing color pie by half a step: Pink - Peace (from G/W) Cyan - Law (from U/W) Purple - Cunning (from U/B) Orange - Ruthlessness (from R/B) Brown - Vitality (from R/G) Or something like that.

    I didn't realize it before, but it's pretty much a more versatile Mindclaw Shaman. Should we just let red have the effect then? Without the 2/2 body I would cost it at 4 mana, at the very least.

    Polymorphic Amoeba {1}{U}{U} Creature - Shapeshifter Changeling When Polymorphic Amoeba attacks, exile it. If you do, reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal a creature card. Put that card onto the battlefield tapped and attacking. Shuffle all other cards revealed this way...

    Panglacial mechanic is definitely dangerous. It's pretty close to "you can cast this from your sideboard," which I think we can all agree is not a good idea on many cards.

    Callous Oppressor This guy seems pretty good, given that creature types in most cubes are all over the place. Anyone tried him?

    Even more mechanics: Hidden Suspend Like Suspend, but face down. The spell turns face up when you cast it. We would have to work out a good cost and number for the suspend that's fair on a lot of different spells. Suspendback Suspend, but only from the graveyard. Overloadback Flashback...

    Mechanic dump incoming: Trickster (This creature can be blocked by tapped creatures, but not untapped creatures.) Encourages aggression in an interesting way. When I used it, I put it in red and blue. Test subject [COST] (You may cast this spell for its test subject cost. If you do, put a...

    River Kelpie A little crazy... Hedron CrabChronic Flooding Mill your gravecrawlers? Flooding is kind of narrow, it might require some other overlapping themes to be worth considering. Crab can be used as a nasty win condition with all those fetchlands.
