Yeah, we've been using High Market in the main cube (also in the utility land draft) and it's a great extra sac outlet for the decks that load up on Threaten effects.
Eldrazi Domain Cube

How many actual Eldrazi creatures do you think a cube like this needs?
With all the Eldrazi and elementals I might need to track down a copy of:
A card I think could be really good in this cube is warp world. I feel kind of ashamed as it strikes people as a casual card, but in this cube with the large number of tokens (which are obv permanents for counting in warp world) then you could easily break the symmetry. When you have the potential to put an eldrazi into play through this route it gets quite exciting too. Following on from this it might be fun to put chaos warp in as well when it has the potential to pop an eldrazi out the other side. I know you didn't want to be able to cheat the eldrazi into play but this feels more fair/fun.
Ps. How do you link to card images on this forum?

Good suggestions. I just right-click copy-paste from Gatherer.
I think I drafted your cube above 4 times on CubeTutor now. Every time I do it, I forgot to login and couldn't build my deck. Seems very fun to draft, though, even when I tend to go 3-colors aggro (which must have been above half the drafts).
Ah, people are drafting it, cool! I should update the list, a couple dozen cards have changed.
Hmmm....

That looks awesome 
How would this guy work in cube? Should I just have a stack of extra eldrazi forks around for the lolz? Ulamog's Crushers and Hands of Emrakul. If people bring their own Eldrazi they can add those too.
That looks awesome
Can you (or anyone else) help me find a cut for Alive // Well? Here's my newly updated list: http://cubetutor.com/visualspoiler/625

How's Rhys working? He seems a little slow, even if he is a slightly more key hybrid 1 drop. If he isn't the cut for Alive // Well, I think he could come out for another Dryad Militant.
Otherwise: Samite Pilgrim? He doesn't say "or player"...

Perhaps. I'd prefer to cut from Green (53 green cards, 50 white cards), but I'm not sure where the space comes from.
I haven't played with Rhys yet. Just got him in the mail today.

Green eh? Irresistable Prey, Miming Slime and Worldly Tutor seem like good cuts to me.
Miming Slime in particular always looks better than it plays

Worldly Tutor may get cut. It's part of my "put things on top of the library and cast it for free" subtheme with the blue sphinxes. I'll test Miming Slime and if it's terrible slot in Alive // Well. Lots of things to test.
Hoorah, all the cards are in the mail now. Well, except for Chord of Calling, which CFB was sold out of. Maybe I'll have to use a proxy for the time being. Or just use Green Sun's Zenith temporarily?

The two play rather differently

Yeah, but the proxy I have for Chord of Calling is really really ugly, and I don't think that can be overlooked.
Speaking of ugly cards... I have a five-color and a small CMC matters theme here. Too fun to pass up?

My favorite part about that card is it's foil price
(Seriously go check it out. I laughed so hard)

This seemed to be fun:
Animar and rakdos give it a window to cast ulamog. Apart from that it's a 5-color Aggressive deck.
Most likely 0-3. Still fun to play.

Aggro Ulamog? Yeah, that deck looks pretty wild. Cards are in the mail (except for Chord of Calling), so with any luck we can draft it next Tuesday.
That'd be the 16th ? i'm up for that.
