Possible Cube Idea
I was at the Ravnica Allegiance prerelease, and I thought of an idea: what if there was a draft set, but from MTGCS? Then, last night, I elaborated on it: a cube. For those who don't know what a cube is: a cube is where everyone puts cards together equal to this formula: 15 x 6 x # of players, everyone draws 90 cards, or 6 15 card packs, and builds a 40 card deck with what they have.
But then I got the idea: we could have 15 people working on this: 1 for each color, and 1 for each two color combo.
Is this a good idea? I want to play with actual MTGCS cards, and I really like drafting. So, if you want to help, just say what color or colors you want to work with.

Pick your favorites!
I mean that for each two color combo choose your favorite archetype and make cards around it. For example, here's an actual cube I drafted up:http://www.cubetutor.com/viewcube/124371
All the colors are balanced and each color pairing has a clear direction.
W/G: Elf Weenies
W/U: Mill (The one thing not for the new players)
W/B: Reanimator
W/R: Aggro, just Aggro
G/U: Buff and Ramp
G/B: Graveyards/Sacrifice
G/R: Aggro Ramp
U/B: Zombies
U/R: Voltron
Okay then. How do you want the cards to be divided up color-wise?
50/50/50/50/50 WUBRG 30 Multicolored 20 Artifacts and 10 Lands is a basic template, but things can easily be a bit more complex as long as colors stay balanced.
50 White
50 Blue
50 Black
50 Red
50 Green
3 WU
3 WB
3 WR
3 WG
3 UB
3 UR
3 UG
3 BR
3 BG
3 RG
20 Artifacts
1 Ally Color Land Cycle
1 Enemy Color Land Cycle
I believe so unless you want to watch a good series by Tolarian Community College on building a non-custom cube to wet your pallet and all.
Oh hold on I divided things up a bit wrong when I listed numbers. That's 310, not 360! The division is going to be:
50/50/50/50/50 WUBRG 40 Multicolor 50 Artifacts 20 Lands
Which turns into
50 White
50 Blue
50 Black
50 Red
50 Green
4 WU
4 WB
4 WR
4 WG
4 UB
4 UR
4 UG
4 BR
4 BG
4 RG
50 Artifacts
2 Ally Color Land Cycles (WU, WG, UB, BR, RG)
2 Enemy Color Land Cycles (WB, WR, UR, UG, BG)
So do you want to watch the videos or just start smithing?
Also, what's your black/red archetype?
whats a cube?
Like madness?
Discard X cards: deal X damage to any target
You'll want madness to make that archetype function more smoothly
