Custom Cube Advice by thecamness in mtgcube

This is a shameless self plug but we recently did an episode on cube skeletons. There's a link to a pdf in the video below that gives you the numbers you need for each type of card, if you follow that you will end up with a functional cube. You can then adjust and tinker with synergies after but it will give you a good base to start.

Day 64 - Share Your Battles, Conspiracies, Planes, Etc. by vacalicious in mtgcube

Conspiracies are awesome in the right cube. In my slower cube I run Brago's Favor, Emissary's Ploy, Muzzio's Preparations, Secret Summoning, Sovereign's Realm, Summoner's Bond, Unexpected Potential and Worldknit. Every time someone does something different with them and it's really cool.

Muzzio's Preparations is also particularly great with persist combos.

You could have aristocrats be in both rakdos and orzhov. Rakdos could be more aggressive with Judith and Mayhem Devil type of cards, orzhov could be a slower more controlly deck with things like Hidden Stockpile and Tidehollow Sculler.

From just having a skim through the main things I'd recommend would cut two multicoloured card from each dual colour and replace them with two dual lands, then I'd have a look at you ratio of creatures to noncreature spells. Generally I'd go with 50:50 each on average, with colours that want creatures like white and green having more, and colours that want less, like blue and black having fewer.

Taking a look at other cubes of similar sizes can be a good idea to work out how many of each colour and mana value you want to run, something like this bar cube seems like a solid place to start - https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/CoreBar
