Hey guys! It's Ben!
I realized I didn't have a thread for my Cube on here, and kinda want some feedback.

Introduction:
This Cube is basically an adaptation of Jason's list from a long time ago. I've drafted it about once a week for the past year with the Georgia Tech Magic Club, tweaking and changing it as it got played and as new ideas got brought up here on the forum.
I don't know if I have a specific goal in mind at the moment. Just trying to incorporate Origins cards (which are awesome cube cards) and the meta changes they bring about into balance, while changing up lackluster cards that my drafters don't like.
Archetypes are fairly standard Riptide fare, including reccurive black aggro, Pod, URx Delver, Mardu sacrafice aggro, among others. Recently developing decks include Jeskai Tokens, Esper Tokens, and Exploration-Melokou-Post.
There are a few things specifically I'm questioning:
Planeswalkers in blue: I've got six of them at the moment (Jace, baby Jace, OG Jace, Tamiyo, Kiora, Ral) which is a lot more than in any other color.
On the topic of planeswalkers: Sorin, Lord of Innistrad. He plays a lot like OG Elspeth, and dominates the board. I like how he plays with the tokens theme though, an anthem when you need it or dudes when you need them. Are there less oppressive cards like this in BW?
Champion of the Parish has been underwheling and underdrafted. I'm not sure if this is my drafters not liking the card or if it's actually weak.
Tezzeret: is he too narrow? I think he's strong and interesting, but he's also very underdrafted and often a last pick. Thoughts?
A nice thing about my cube is its all proxied (yay poor college students!) so I can basically tweak it however I like, whenever I like.
