I'm not totally convinced Song will always pay off, but it's waaaay more interesting. 6/6 for 6 with no ETB that needs mana spent on the attack isn't terribly appealing for a tricolor card. I'd rather run Rorix Bladewing or something. Can't you just make them Cube Even More Occasionals and...

For a full colored cube, this is basically the only mana base I can recommend anymore. In all honesty, you're over thinking it. Something fetchy is going to be more flexible, so I'd say at least one set of those. Past that, run the ones you like or the ones you have that are appropriate to...

Does Realms do anything interesting? Gifts is great, but Realms doesn't excite me.

Cool. I'll go check my cube for numbers and number words. That stuff all sounds nutty.

Likely depends on that cube. I'd be worried that a deck prepared to take advantage of it would get very far ahead very quickly. It's probably more universally useful, but less interesting, to run a double ramper at 3G.

Simic tends to be an issue, I think. Ramp Flash +1/+1 Edric I can give card examples, but didn't want to assume power levels. I also don't run Simic, so I could be way off here.

I'd expect it on the basics, but you're right about the expeditions being out of place unless you have a theme cube. The duals ideally won't have it.

Smart of you to mention swamps this time ;) I'm not much of a lore guy, but that's basically what I'd expect for the hedrons. A thing of the past that will likely always be there.

I've always liked More or Less, but I've been unsure of its impact. Wish it maybe cost 2 and cantripped. A lot of the Very Cryptics are great. I'll be sure to work one into a Jumpstart, if I go through with that idea.

I feel personally attacked that your fake card doesn't produce primarily black mana.

Pretty sure it's going to be 2 WB 2 GB 1 UB and 1 BR dual for my cube.

Would it not be better just browse 2-10 trusted lists? I've got a ton of cards I could post, but I have no idea what you're looking for.

Maybe do 25 card lists designed to be cut? ;) I'd say to use the utility lands if it adds something significant, but definitely don't force anything. Even basics are pretty good.

Don't force yourself into double utility lands. Another colored source will often be better.

Not that I'm trying to say the card is great, I think it's very low powered, but you seem to have misread the card pretty badly in your assessment. You've also severely overestimated the strength of the cards surrounding this in an environment suited to it if that scenario adds up to "winning...

I'm hesitant to hand people whatever packs they want, but I've previously expressed my boredom with monocolor themes. We do need to find a better way. Part of the fun of designing a cube is the amount of creativity a single card like Gifts Ungiven or Doomsday can open up to a drafter. Then you...

I'm likely to run the new version but would never make my players suffer through reading the old one.

Were you guys not already spending $25 to run this well-worded beauty?

I don't have this cube actually built, but I think you need to be pretty low powered. You have to be in an environment where just the buff is going to be reasonable to play and the 1/1 is a real incentive for the equipment deck. The environment I have it in is full of bears and most of the...
