I don't know if I'm worse, I ended up in mono black the abyss smokestack nether void control. But at least I enjoyed that, when I didn't forget to use my rishadan port so they could get their moat out.

I'm kind of happy with the MODO cube being terrible, because I never feel the urge to spend money on it.
I'm glad that MTGO has my billing address wrong and won't let me change it.
I have become the most disorganized Magic card owner ever. Somehow I can't find two planeswalkers, and stumbled upon a box I didn't know I forgot I had with like, Primeval Titan, Celestial Colonnade, Vendilion Clique and other random crap. When James was over I just found an envelope of unopened card orders from ChannelFireball. Whoops.
The annoying thing is I don't know if I traded these missing cards away, accidentally hid them in sleeves with other cards, or they got stolen. No idea. I'll probably never know.

Oh, found one of the Planeswalkers in my other cube. Doh!

Any suggestions for a distinct 'identity' for R/G as a colour pair?

"burn and beats"?
on one hand there's an easy answer to this encompassed by Flinthoof Boar and Burning-Tree Emissary and Bloodbraid Elf and friends, on the other hand wizards sometimes has trouble with it as RG is AWFUL in Theros limited
instead of an emrakul's hatcher may i suggest a real magic card

Yeah that's the obvious one, but just turning dumb animals sideways doesn't feel as fun or unique as Blink is in U/W, for instance. I guess some kind of Dev Dreams/Wildfire ramp deck ala Standard circa Nationals 2011?

I'm tempted to let drafters have Birthing Pods as 'basic lands' and dive into the paint in this next design. Your Domain deck turning Stratodon into Ulamog? Your Dredge deck converting a 2-mana Tombstalker into Iona? I feel an article coming on...
There's nothing wrong with turning boring creatures sideways, especially for one colour pair who isn't doing anything else. Not everyone can do interesting things, so someone's going to be left attacking all day everyday anyway, might as well enable it for people who actually want to do it anyway.
I'm going with your opponent being dead instead of you durdling as an actual unique identity in my list!
Wolf-run ramp.
is something like blasphemous act + boros reckoner cool or random unpredictable unfun in cube
It's fine, but almost never comes together (this speaking as somebody who runs both in 360). It's such an outrageous way to end the game that I don't think it's ever really unfun.

What Jason said. I think there's (mostly unexplored) room for a recursive creatures + Wraths strategy in Cube (Gravecrawler/Bloodghast with Toxic Deluge, Doomed Traveler/Voice of Resurgence with Wrath, etc.) and Act slots very nicely into that.
