I completely reinvented this cube once again. The "only 5 guilds at a time"- thing seemed to be too much trouble for a format that had a very boring draft portion. If for example Rakdos and Izzet were the two red guilds, first-picking a burn spell already mostly disqualified all the white and green cards you could've opened. Drafting felt more on rails than I wanted to accept.
So I tried a different approach. I reduced the amount of gold cards, especially at lower rarieties, and accepted, that 3+ colored decks make up a part of the meta. I also went down to an actual set structure with 101 commons, the minimum for a large set, to still enable synergistic decks for the more focused themes (graft, dredge, tokens, spells matter). There is one sign post common and no other commons that require more than 2 different mana.
I had to leave out a few cool cards, but therefore got a really cool "remastered" set, that also feels different enough from (my) cube.

I am really stoked to test it lile this. If you want to help me, take a draft and tell me how it went and any impressions.
