Combine Mono White cube and EDH cube ( 
) to get horrifying new reality
) to get horrifying new reality
You forgot comboish/reanimate;Easy, you pick white!
It has aggro support, midrange support, control support, targeted removal, mass removal, life gain, counterspells, discard, direct damage, ramp. It does everything!
It also happens to supports several archetypes very well; spells matter, artifacts matter, enchantments matter, go wide strategies, equipment matters, various tribes like Kithkin and Soldiers.
Aaaaaand I see I was sniped by @LadyMapi
How to make the sun work is a challenge. The test is workable with the enchantment tutors
The problem is more how to get the first one. White does not have much card draw, does not have much non-enchantment tutors…
True, I am all ears for a stacks deck but that does not fly with the mana cost of the sun. Control could work, but the drawing needed for control is lacking in white.

Look I've never done thisIf you wanted to support Tron, how many copies of each land would you want? Three? I like the collectathon aspect of these cards but realized that I've never seen them done in Cube.
But do you want cloudpost instead? (With optional Glimmerpost/Vesuva/Thespian's Stage?)
i have done this. if you like having a clear best deck in format, this will be it if it’s supported

And this is Blacksmithy talking so I assume this is COMPLETLY FUCKED
How did you support it? Because yeah, having any more than two of them in play starts getting n u t t y, but I was figuring I'd include maybe four of them, most likely three, and I go very light on ways to search for lands.
i had 4x of each post in a 180ish cube. it was problematic in draft and gameplay, and yeah if someone got 75%+ of the posts it was just dumb
The problem with the Tron lands and Cloudpost in draft is that they're literally just Wastes if you only have one copy.
As a result, you're only going to run Cloudpost in your deck if you happened to pick up 2+ copies, and the people who managed that are probably going to highly prioritize any sort of card selection they can get.
If you're going to bother with the Tron lands, you should probably go whole-hog and squadron the three of them together into a single pick. Or go for something like

This is fine, I'd wager. I ran 4x Growth-Chamber Guardian (#SquadronCrab) for a while. You can play a single copy of him, but nobody ever did.
I think just handing whoever picks the first cloudpost the whole set just makes it an extremely strong single pick.
Honestly, the only way I could see that not being GRBS is if you gave them exactly two Cloudposts. Anything less, and it's not worth running over a basic land (unless you desperately need a way to cast Warping Wail or whatever). Anything more, and you need to start severely limiting the amount of card selection in your cube.
Seriously, if you offered me a squadron pick of 4x Cloudpost, I'd immediately snap pick it unless it was, like, pack 3 and I was drafting an aggro deck.
