Greetings everyone, first of all i want to thank you guys for the awesome work you have all done putting together a place like this when the discussion about this awesome format can thrive.
I actually enjoy myself more while reading about your updates/ideas/whatever than i do whith all other mtg-related stuff on the net.
sooooo coming to my cube , here is the link :http://www.cubetutor.com/cubeblog/69262.
I don't have any particular idea or theme that are holding the list together( even if i'm pretty certain THERE are some archetypes i want to push)or making my cube among the others, although i think that the genesis of my cube could be helpfull for those who're reading and have found themself in the situation i was(am?)(being a complete noob xD).
The only costraint i had building this was the budget of the cards: i avoided putting in cards that cost more than a couple of bucks for two reason :
I hosted my first draft last week and we enjoyed it quite a bit, but i know the list have issues and i'd like to hear a feedback from you guys.
In the draft we 've had( sorry i don't have any recorded lists) the two top lists were both on Selesnya colors: one was playng aggro whith heavy emphasis on +1/+1 counters sinergy the other playng all the top-end cards.
Here the concern is about the powerlevel of some individual cards like Citadel Siege,Troll Ascetic or Polukranos, World Eater
The other "cohoesive" deck which came together (and i'm pretty happy about that, since it was a deck i wanted to see played) is the U/B aggro decks which ended 2-1 and performed very well.
The other decks were drafted by people whith waay less drafting experience and were just pile of solid picks in 3 or even 4 colours: i took this as a particularly concering signal:maybe archertypes DO need some refinement if people just "get lost".
Other issues:
After theese initial balance issues will be tackled i'll start to work on making archetypes more cohoesive.
I'd really like to give my cube a strong graveyard theme,scattered across all the colors and colors pairs: whith flashback,reanimator,madness , cycling all making an appareance.
Soooo i'm really looking forward to hear anyfeedback from you, and any ideas about archetypes,cards i could include will be well accepted.
p.s. sorry for bad english,i'm not used to write ""wall"" of text in english( ya i know it's 2018...), i hope it's at least readable.

The only costraint i had building this was the budget of the cards: i avoided putting in cards that cost more than a couple of bucks for two reason :
- i'm poor xD;
- i really like low power level enviroment, where " bad " cards are given their time to shine: in the end this was the purpose of my cube in the first place.

Other issues:
- power level disparity(eg polukranos vs bramblewood paragon): cube started off as a paesant one, but i added rares and mithycs cause my playgroup likes to "big": then some cards compare pretty poorly whith one another;
- archetypes are preety loose: it's my first cube afterall and in some choiches i've been drove by personal taste (bramblewood paragon , we're looking at you once again);
- No one played RED: maybe no one wanted to be force to play aggro, but the lack of the natural predator for durdly mindrage strategies was clear;
- the removal seemed scarce: maybe because everyone avoided red and maybe too much removal is condensed in the burn spells;
- Azorius: the gold cards support the blink theme,(not really supported in the relative monocolor sections though);
- Dimir: the gold card are all about attacking, i really tried to push the "saboteurs " theme for this guild;
- Rakdos:must admit that this is just a pile of cards whith some cards pivoting archetypes (tymaret/aristocrats & kolaghan/go wide) and 2 two just solid picks;
- Gruul: the archetype of choiche here is ramp/monster, the samut feels a little out of place;
- Selesnya: even if the archetype is not really clear, all the cards played out pretty well(maybe dromoka commond is a little above the power curve..)
- Orzhov: distruptive aggro &aristocrats, nothing more to say here ;
- Golgari: just "goodstuff" and worm harvest which is an early experiment to see if the land theme is worth pursuing;
- Simic: here come the trouble since simic is my favourite guild and the card choice reflects that, big flashy overpowered toys(my bad);
- Izzet : a little mess, but overall pretty solid cards(or at least playable);
- Boros: tokens!!!
After theese initial balance issues will be tackled i'll start to work on making archetypes more cohoesive.
