For me it's between Thran Dynamo and Sublime Archangel. I think I'ld go with the Archangel. It's just such a beating!

I'm not sure how fast this cube is, but if I was confident that I would have sufficient time to set up and Do My Thing, I'd go with Phyrexian Arena for its long game potential. If I didn't think I could durdle around, Porcelain Legionnaire would be my guy.

Plateau is a great land, but Legionnaire is a great creature. I usually prefer to take lands early, so yeah, Plateau.

Monastery Mentor! The removal forces you into two colors, and I like to keep my options open. Bitterblossom is probably better, but I really like prowess 
Is reanimator supported? Cause if it is... I'd probably take the Mystical Tutor and hope against hope to wheel the Terastodon.
I'll take Bitterblossom and see what wheels—hopefully Stoneforge, Mentor, or Post.

And I always look under my pillow when I wake up to see if the Tooth Fairy put a $100 bill there.

I think Trading Post Wheeling is a decent possibility. This list is loaded with strong equipment, so I don't think stoneforge is coming back and mentor is mentor so that's not likely.
Bitterblossom, Taiga, Arid Mesa, Stoneforge, Mentor, Godless Shrine and Mystical Tutor will likely go before trading post and someone might want one of the more narrow cards if they are keying into a deck.
Anyway, I'd take Stoneforge and play the OP equipment lottery.

Yeah, that was a bit tongue in cheek, Trading Post could definitely wheel, though it is definitely the pick for Johnny's in this pack. The other two though... Definitely not going to happen.
Hard to go wrong with Blade Splicer - works in aggro, midrange, or control; in straight good-stuff decks or synergy decks; eminently splashable even if I don't end up base white.

Yeah, but Blood artist is my man!

But... but... but... Goblin Welder!
Sheesh, I've got to find a way to plug that card back into my cube. It's so adorkable!
I would probably go with Blade Splicer or Go for the Throat though.

Okay, looking over this pack again with Monday-morning eyes...
I think if i were in my BDSM-Griefer-Johnny mode instead of my usual scrub-Spike mode i'd take Howling Mine and hope to wheel Terminus or Ojutai's Command.

Here's one from Timbers' budget cube:
I think my pick is either Preordain, Bloodsoaked Champ, or Yavimaya Elder.

Wow, I love that pack from a budget cube - shows that a lack of expensive mythics doesn't mean the packs can't be both strong and interesting!
Bloodbraid Elf is probably objectively the 'wrong' choice in that it's an immediate two-colour commitment, but man am I tempted. Otherwise, Preordain if I'm feeling boring and durdly.

Char is sweet removal, but Battlegrace Angel impacts the board immediately, and takes over games fast. That's my pick.
Eh, it's a four drop. Take it, play WG with a red splash or BR with a green splash or whatever.
