Introduction
Hey all, Pringlesman here, I've been working on my cube quite a bit lately, and it finally has come time to post it. My cube is 720 cards large with an emphasis on multicolor. It contains a morph sub theme also. Check out the Excel sheet, it makes looking through the cube easier. Thanks to Nightwing for the base of it.
The first thing I did was check your UG list of cards. I saw Pygmy Hippo, and therefore, I declare your cube to be awesome.
But seriously, I can see that you put alot of effort in it. Though I would personally separate Hybrids and Multicoloured. I have them mixed in mine because I don't have the time to sort out my cube so far with all the new Shadowmoor and Eventide stuff (will have more time when university starts).

Check out my pauper cube! and thanks to PurpleD @ [<--- Left Play Design <---] for making this awesome banner!
Looks very well thought-out. You have a very professional presentation to it as well. A few thoughts/suggestions:
-Everytime I see a cube with Resurrection included, I like to point out the almost "strictly-better" Breath of Life and False Defeat also exist. I personally like Miraculous Recovery more than all of those, and thus included it in my Cube.
-No Wickerbough Elder? There can never be enough 187ish dudes in Green IMO. Redundant Stomphowlers and Vigilantes should be welcomed with open arms, lol.
-I highly recommend at least trying Catastrophe. It's been easily one of, if not the best, Wrath variant around here. The flexability of Wrath or Geddon on one card makes up for it's slightly clunky mana cost.
-Mise been better than Predict would be? I guess it has a "go big or go home" mentality to it in that if you don't have a Brainstorm/Ponder/Top etc you can't cantrip it without, well, mising.
Overall though, as I mentioned earlier, very solid start.
Thanks for the suggestions, I'll have to look for my breath of life... I'm kinda sad I won't be able to use a FNM one now.
The Elder looks good, I will have to find room for it. I could probably take sex Monkeys.
Catastrophe looks good, but I don't know how many wrath effects is too many, I'll see if the ones I have already are enough.
To tell you the truth, I forgot about Predict.
I know I should separate the two into multicolor and hybrid, but it sounds like a very un-appealing process to do.
I updated the list with pictures for every color, somehow I lost a picture of blue and I'm not going to recreate it. I also added 3 sample packs, post what you would pick.
A friend is coming over tommorow so I'll tell you how the first draft goes, I might even try to get a decklist out of it.

That's the remarkable thing about life. It's never so bad that it can't get worse

Pack 1- Crystal Shard Incendiary Command is a close 2nd, but I prefer a bomb that doesn't commit me to a color for a 1st pick.
Pack 2- Sword of Light and Shadow
Pretty similar reasoning to the first pack. This pack is considerably more powerful, but the same pick method applies.
Pack 3- Imperious Perfect
Yeah, there's a Sensei's Divining Top in the pack that seems more like my style, but the Perfect is much too good to pass. This is the worst pack of the 3, but around picks 6-10, its going to start to look great, as there's plenty of decent cards to fill a dec with.
I like the cube, nice work. What'd you use to make the proxies?

Lurking since Guildpact. Procrastinating for...
Current Decks
I'll go with Sheed and pick Shard and Sword for the first two packs (though I have a soft spot for Stomphowler and might pick him on occasion). The third pack though is packing Treachery, which is hands-down one of the top 10 cards in Cube, if not top five. None of the other cards in that pack are even close.
Treachery vs Top in pack 3, SoLS in pack 2 (Reveillark is also a strong splashable pick here) and Indrick pack 1 (dont ask me, i hate crystal shard even if it's really strong)
Really nice cube so far, i'm really loving it.
How did you make the proxy ? Do you plan to make a little guide please ?
Dude i'm totally glad its done now you've been working on that thing for while now.. I got that cards you need *well some of em* set out for ya and were gonna have to find time to draft that biatch

Wonderful cube! I love high-quality proxies and you've done a lot of work displaying it here and with pictures.
Yes, I need to put pictures up on cubedrafting.com.
Pack 1 is Crystal Shard, not even close.
Pack 2 is sort of a crapshoot. SoLS is nowhere near as good as SoFI, so the pack is muddled with solid cards. Exalted Angel is respectable, and so is Reveillark. I'd probably take Reveillark. So good, so splashable, with tons of combos and card/board advantage built-in. STUPID with Recurring Nightmare (obv).
Pack 3 is Treachery, one of the best cards in the cube ever ever (thanks Kenny for beating me to this one). Not even close. My top 2 cube picks are probably Sol Ring and Treachery (with Library of Alexandria right behind). If you are anywhere near blue, you take the Treachery. Otherwise, you'd take the Top, the second best card in that pack.
I'd take note of Kenny (darkmindtone)'s suggestions, as he's been at this a long time as well.
Cards I don't have that I like: Jotun Grunt (he was in for awhile...), Deftblade Elite (provoke is nice), Promise of Bunrei, Ertai, Wizard Adept (kill. me. now!), Sun Quan, Lord of Wu (fatty + makes my dudes unblockable, nice), Necromancy (I need this card, cheap reanimation ftw), Ghitu Fire, Goblin Patrol, Skuzzback Marauder (woo good red cards!), Chain of Plasma, Krosan Tusker (just needed), Hunting Pack (blowout potential), Gaea's Anthem (green is too creature-oriented not to have it).
One question: I've looked twice and don't see Oona, Queen of the Fae (aka Big Perm). Srsly. No Big Perm?
nice proxies indeed, and if you just want to copy real card proxies, I'd recommend those MWS HQ pics, which are also the ones used by magiccards.info aka Mox Pearl http://www.slightlymagic.net/forum has some nice programs to create proxies, where you are able to download pictures, just art, card frames, old and new, etc ..
pick 1 : Crystal Shard seems to be the best pick here
pick 2 : Berserk or Lark, probably Lark, because it's really solid in cube.
pick 3 : Sensei's Divining Top, Treachery is only second pick to me, although I must admit, I never played the card before. Top is insanely good filtering in decks that may need it (black or red)
Treachery is very good imo, but it pushes you into blue,and not a little. top will keep your options open, and will make your deck 100 %. If someone cuts your blue, Treachery might not.
But hey, I'm just a judges and judges are bad players ;-)

"Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you."
Pack 1: The consensus seems to be that Crystal Shard is #1, but I disagree. I think Indrik Stomphowler is the choice I would rather have. Disenchant effects are extremely valuable in Cube drafting, from my experience, and it's also important to have win conditions in your deck. While shard virtually creates more win conditions by protecting your creatures, it's still not actually able to lay the beats by itself. Not to mention that the Stomphowler himself owns the Shard, if you happen to play against it (meaning you can feel ok passing it because you have at least one out already).
Pack 3: Berserk. Lark is powerful, but first-pick Berserk is a surprise blow-out and a straightforward method of achieving victory.
Pack 3: You guys are all out of your minds to think that Treachery is even close to the power level of Sensei's Divining Top. I like Treachery, and it's a surprisingly strong storm-enabler, but I'd rather have something that will fit into every single possible deck I play. If I'm in blue, I might want Treachery to round out my deck, but if I'm first-picking I want Top, and I want to start picking shuffle effects to abuse it.
Maybe it's that my personal Cube and all the other cubes I've played have more or less revolved around the combat step that I have the impression that Treachery is one of the most busted cards in the format. If there was a stronger combo presence I'm sure I'd probably think slightly less of it, but as it stands it's B-O-N-K-E-R-S.
Not sure how people can not 1st pick Sword in the 2nd pack. I'm assumed Swords, Clamp, Jitte, etc were all auto-picks for everybody since they're ridiculous and go in nearly every single deck (I'd say EVERY deck, period, but I'm sure somebody would find some exception to that rule...).
Reveillark, as far as i played it ALOT lately in cube, often firt picked, and i played it every time in any of my deck, and often playing XY/white.
For the top vs treachery debate, i totally agree with I-never-Smile. There are not a bunch of cards i pick before treachery but top is definatly one of them, especially because treachery is a strong commitement, and i dont like being commited in blue that much Top is so strong it's insane, especially when you first pick it and can start picking Shuffle effects to abuse it as early as pick 2 of a draft.
SoLS vs Indrik, once again, i totally agree with I-never-smile. SoFI is an auto pick for me, so is skullclamp, but SoLS is not. Indrik is a really strong first pick, at least in my cube and i think it's the good choice here too, regarding MrPringles cube.

But seriously, I can see that you put alot of effort in it. Though I would personally separate Hybrids and Multicoloured. I have them mixed in mine because I don't have the time to sort out my cube so far with all the new Shadowmoor and Eventide stuff (will have more time when university starts).
Check out my pauper cube!
and thanks to PurpleD @ [<--- Left Play Design <---] for making this awesome banner!
Limited is awesome, join us at [Limited]!
-Everytime I see a cube with Resurrection included, I like to point out the almost "strictly-better" Breath of Life and False Defeat also exist. I personally like Miraculous Recovery more than all of those, and thus included it in my Cube.
-No Wickerbough Elder? There can never be enough 187ish dudes in Green IMO. Redundant Stomphowlers and Vigilantes should be welcomed with open arms, lol.
-I highly recommend at least trying Catastrophe. It's been easily one of, if not the best, Wrath variant around here. The flexability of Wrath or Geddon on one card makes up for it's slightly clunky mana cost.
-Mise been better than Predict would be? I guess it has a "go big or go home" mentality to it in that if you don't have a Brainstorm/Ponder/Top etc you can't cantrip it without, well, mising.
Overall though, as I mentioned earlier, very solid start.

The Elder looks good, I will have to find room for it. I could probably take sex Monkeys.
Catastrophe looks good, but I don't know how many wrath effects is too many, I'll see if the ones I have already are enough.
To tell you the truth, I forgot about Predict.
I know I should separate the two into multicolor and hybrid, but it sounds like a very un-appealing process to do.
I updated the list with pictures for every color, somehow I lost a picture of blue and I'm not going to recreate it. I also added 3 sample packs, post what you would pick.
A friend is coming over tommorow so I'll tell you how the first draft goes, I might even try to get a decklist out of it.

.
Incendiary Command is a close 2nd, but I prefer a bomb that doesn't commit me to a color for a 1st pick.
Pack 2- Sword of Light and Shadow
Pretty similar reasoning to the first pack. This pack is considerably more powerful, but the same pick method applies.
Pack 3- Imperious Perfect
Yeah, there's a Sensei's Divining Top in the pack that seems more like my style, but the Perfect is much too good to pass. This is the worst pack of the 3, but around picks 6-10, its going to start to look great, as there's plenty of decent cards to fill a dec with.
I like the cube, nice work. What'd you use to make the proxies?

Really nice cube so far, i'm really loving it.
How did you make the proxy ? Do you plan to make a little guide please ?
Nice Cube. I haven't had a chance to look at in great detail yet, but overall it's good.
Cheers,

Yes, I need to put pictures up on cubedrafting.com.
Pack 1 is Crystal Shard, not even close.
Pack 2 is sort of a crapshoot. SoLS is nowhere near as good as SoFI, so the pack is muddled with solid cards. Exalted Angel is respectable, and so is Reveillark. I'd probably take Reveillark. So good, so splashable, with tons of combos and card/board advantage built-in. STUPID with Recurring Nightmare (obv).
Pack 3 is Treachery, one of the best cards in the cube ever ever (thanks Kenny for beating me to this one). Not even close. My top 2 cube picks are probably Sol Ring and Treachery (with Library of Alexandria right behind). If you are anywhere near blue, you take the Treachery. Otherwise, you'd take the Top, the second best card in that pack.
I'd take note of Kenny (darkmindtone)'s suggestions, as he's been at this a long time as well.
Cards I don't have that I like: Jotun Grunt (he was in for awhile...), Deftblade Elite (provoke is nice), Promise of Bunrei, Ertai, Wizard Adept (kill. me. now!), Sun Quan, Lord of Wu (fatty + makes my dudes unblockable, nice), Necromancy (I need this card, cheap reanimation ftw), Ghitu Fire, Goblin Patrol, Skuzzback Marauder (woo good red cards!), Chain of Plasma, Krosan Tusker (just needed), Hunting Pack (blowout potential), Gaea's Anthem (green is too creature-oriented not to have it).
One question: I've looked twice and don't see Oona, Queen of the Fae (aka Big Perm). Srsly. No Big Perm?
Again, great stuff. Thanks for sharing!

pick 1 : Crystal Shard seems to be the best pick here
pick 2 : Berserk or Lark, probably Lark, because it's really solid in cube.
pick 3 : Sensei's Divining Top, Treachery is only second pick to me, although I must admit, I never played the card before. Top is insanely good filtering in decks that may need it (black or red)

"Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you."
My
540> 360 Powered CubePack 1: The consensus seems to be that Crystal Shard is #1, but I disagree. I think Indrik Stomphowler is the choice I would rather have. Disenchant effects are extremely valuable in Cube drafting, from my experience, and it's also important to have win conditions in your deck. While shard virtually creates more win conditions by protecting your creatures, it's still not actually able to lay the beats by itself. Not to mention that the Stomphowler himself owns the Shard, if you happen to play against it (meaning you can feel ok passing it because you have at least one out already).
Pack 3: Berserk. Lark is powerful, but first-pick Berserk is a surprise blow-out and a straightforward method of achieving victory.
Pack 3: You guys are all out of your minds to think that Treachery is even close to the power level of Sensei's Divining Top. I like Treachery, and it's a surprisingly strong storm-enabler, but I'd rather have something that will fit into every single possible deck I play. If I'm in blue, I might want Treachery to round out my deck, but if I'm first-picking I want Top, and I want to start picking shuffle effects to abuse it.
Not sure how people can not 1st pick Sword in the 2nd pack. I'm assumed Swords, Clamp, Jitte, etc were all auto-picks for everybody since they're ridiculous and go in nearly every single deck (I'd say EVERY deck, period, but I'm sure somebody would find some exception to that rule...).

For the top vs treachery debate, i totally agree with I-never-Smile. There are not a bunch of cards i pick before treachery but top is definatly one of them, especially because treachery is a strong commitement, and i dont like being commited in blue that much Top is so strong it's insane, especially when you first pick it and can start picking Shuffle effects to abuse it as early as pick 2 of a draft.
SoLS vs Indrik, once again, i totally agree with I-never-smile. SoFI is an auto pick for me, so is skullclamp, but SoLS is not. Indrik is a really strong first pick, at least in my cube and i think it's the good choice here too, regarding MrPringles cube.
