Thanks for posting! You scared me for a minute with your "90 card guild section", until I realized 40 of those lands.

Do you have any particular archetypes or dynamics you've been struggling with? It's a bit difficult to dig through a list and provide useful input if you're already happy with everything. If nothing else I'm glad it's here, as it's always useful to have additional cubes for comparison.

Thanks for the reply. I'm currently fairly happy with my list and how most of the archetypes play out. I'm just always open to suggestions or things I may have missed.
