...is now listed here: forums.mtgsalvation.com/showthread.php?t=499085I currently have about 80% of the cards on the list, and I'm looking to fill the other 20% with replacements until we can get things going. Any other questions, please ask. I'm hoping to do a release event some time in April.

@the Shards: All of the research I've done on building cubes told me to stay away from gold cards like Jund Charm and other stuff with three or more colors because the majority of times they won't be drafted like that, and they'll end up as dead cards. Furthermore, adding things like that just leads to everyone building their own 5-color control deck, and that isn't very exciting. Not to worry, John, the mono-red cube deck is hella fun when you curve Goblin Guide into Ash Zealot into Pillage into Goblin Ruinblaster! Even my boy LSV loves him some mono-red cube (check out this video: www.channelfireball.com/videos/channel-lsv-cube-draft-9/#1). @possible includes: I appreciate these choices. I have a list of my own that didn't make it on here, and some of these are also on my list (Living Death, Ball Lightning, various other white two-drops). This weekend I will be going through the list a third time to try and balance the cards by their prospective roles (removal, ramp, discard, bounce, draw, etc), and to try and fill in the spots that I don't yet own. Also, if anyone from Misty is reading this, I'm looking to put in a bulk sleeve order in the near future. It will likely be in the neighborhood of 1500 sleeves (450 spells, 50 non-basic lands, 50 basics of each kind, each in both KMC perfect-fits and the black KMC sleeves that go over the top of them). If there's any way I can get some sort of bulk discount on this order, I would very much appreciate it. Top priority now is to fill in the blanks while still maintaining the cube's competitive balance. This thing will likely debut sometime in April once I get everything sleeved up and filled in.

If you keep scrolling, you'll get to the part with the Pillage, the Koth, and the 30-some burn spells.

You guys will have to let me know when this is all finished up. April is excruciatingly busy for me right now with school, but I'd love to get in on a cube draft a few times this summer.

I ordered a bunch of dollar cards off Troll & Toad last week and they should be here in the next day or two. My bulk sleeve order should also be waiting for me at Misty (if I ever find the time to go over there and pick it up). I'm hoping to get the first draft going within the next couple of weeks.
Unfortunately, the calendar is pretty full right now with SCG Milwaukee next weekend and a certain bachelor party the weekend after that, so we might not actually get to play until later.

MA CUBE now has its own page on TappedOut.net. If anyone wants to play around with it, or try some bot-drafting, feel free.
As always, feedback on anything is appreciated. I got the first of two online orders delivered yesterday, so as soon as the second one comes in, this thing should be ready to go!

UPDATE: Picked up all the sleeves for the cube today. Just need to find enough basic lands and it'll be ready to go!

Couple of first impressions from Saturday night (thanks again to everyone who showed up to play): - Original duals FTW. The power of fetching duals is so much cooler than the Shadowmoor/Eventide filter lands. - Thanks to John for donating a couple more red finishers. Now I don't have to wait for them to rotate out of Standard. - Had I went out to the mailbox, I would have found a couple more new additions waiting for me, namely Geist of Saint Traft and Silverblade Paladin. Those two have been added. - Green seems like it needs one or two more fatties. Right now, the top choices are Woodfall Primus, Terastodon, Primeval Titan, and Hornet Queen (and the Queen isn't really even a fatty). I'm open to suggestions on this one. Initially thinking about Wolfir Silverheart, Craterhoof Behemoth, or Pelakka Wurm. - Need a couple more mana artifacts. I'm thinking probably Mana Vault and Gilded Lotus.

Travis, would you be interested in some alt-art foil proxies? I'm likely to spend a few bucks and try to make a few over the weekend. I am thinking of an initial print run of the Duals and Power (because foil versions don't exist and having extras aren't the end of the world).
And while I doubt you've pimped out the cube, you might be interested in a set while I'm working on them.

Yeah, I think a set of foil power proxies might be a fun thing to try out. How much would it cost me for something like that?
