General Info:
-Current size: 417 Cards (50 each color, 70 multicolor, 50 artifacts, 47 lands)
-Unpowered budget cube (very few cards worth more than $3)
-No proxies
-Unusual design elements: Running a mega-cycle of cards with all possible main-color/off-color activations (except dual enemy color activations) as part of the multi-color section. For the cycle to be complete, I am running several substandard cards, but I'm sticking with it for now because I like the concept.
-Separate Hybrid and Gold sections
-Running more allied color multicolor cards due to running more allied colored fixing and owning better allied colored cards.
-No Un-sets or Portal (though I'm not philosophically opposed to Portal)
-I prefer not to run functional reprints (e.g. Terrmorphic Expanse, Untamed Wilds)
-Location: Swarthmore, PA
-Draft frequency: Rare, but I haven't had it for that long. If you are in the Philly area and want to help with that, PM me.
-Bench cards: Included in each section is a bench of cards that I own that were in the cube at one point or might be swapped in at some point. Many of them are cards that I am curious about and want to play with, but are unlikely to be good enough to stay.
When I see Healing Salve, I'm often like "Oh girl, I wish I could turn every card into this." Thanks they removed the gain life part, otherwise this would have been broken.
Thanks for the responses, suggestions and the automated Eidolon goodness :).
I have a few more cards coming from the lonely card thread, so it actually may be premature to discuss much further, but a couple of questions:
I'm running Crusade as a placeholder for Glorious Anthem, which is on my to acquire list. If the choice were between Glorious Anthem and Revoke Existence, what would you choose?
I cut pyroclasm because I wanted to run Volcanic Fallout and they seemed relatively similar. Should I run both?
It is Wheel of Fortune, not Wheel of Fate sitting on the bench. It's there because some people think it's unfun and I because I was sticking to mostly budget cards even for cards I already own. I think it's going in, though.
If I were to loosen my budget rule, I think attempting to trade for Ravinica shocklands might be the first priority. Agree or disagree?

i'd put lone missionary in and take brigid, hero of kinsbaile out. i'd put revoke existence in and take crusade out.
i'd put aether adept in and take fatestitcher out.
i'd put gorilla shaman, flame slash, pyroclasm, and especially wheel of fortune in and take out jaya ballard, task mage, fork, searing blaze, hammer of bogardan.
i'd put in uktabi orangutan and take out desert twister.
i would put in evolving wilds and take out quicksand.
