OK, big changes.Still to be done...
- Swap out Maggot Carrier and Sunhome Enforcer for Corrosive Mentor and Brion Stoutarm.
- Swap out Mishra's Factory and Strip Mine for some half-decent dual-lands.

Awesome Plays Out Of The Cube So Far
- Epic Proportions on Ajani Goldmane 's Avatar token after it was blocked by a saproling. 54 to the face!
- Graven Dominator followed up with Breath of Darigaaz .
- Slave of Bolas on someone else's Jugan, the Rising Star .
Next Changes
The first cut of the Cube stuck rigidly to a mana curve. It's now proving that in a Multiplayer environment, a lot of the 1-drops are fairly useless. So it's time to bump the curve up and add some more power.
- Corrosive Mentor in for Maggot Carrier
- Brion Stoutarm in for Sunhome Enforcer
- Skullclamp in for Cursed Scroll
- Emeria Angel in for Devoted Caretaker
- Invisibility in for Flash

Above five changes made.
Now awaiting replacement:
card:Mishra's Factory, Strip Mine , Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle , Quicksand , Frostwind Invoker , Guul Draz Vampire , Flame-Kin Zealot , Storm Spirit , Jugan, the Rising Star (fun, but triple green CC), Spike Weaver (good, but negative and unfun), Kinsbaile Borderguard , Orcish Lumberjack (mostly pointless 1-drop), Blood Moon (useless now that Goblin King has gone), Spoils of Evil (not getting the love), card:Fool's Tome (being last-picked by the TappedOut bots)

Thanks to immense help from the purchase of all five Commander decks...
- Dominus of Fealty in for Razorfin Hunter . UR gets some beef.
- Conundrum Sphinx in for Rainbow Efreet . Blue gets a bit of fatty and a bit of fun in the same slot.
- Fierce Empath in for Jagged-Scar Archers . A tutor of sorts instead of an Elf that was struggling to gain traction.
- Rapacious One in for Warmonger . A card no-one used goes for a tramply beatstick.
- Simic Sky Swallower in for card:Yavimaya's Embrace. The top UG gets rightfully swapped. Works amazingly in the Cube with Momir Vig.
- Call the Skybreaker in for Quicksilver Dagger . One of the weakest cards in the Cube gets swapped for a repeatable bomb. UR is winning now.
- Sakura-Tribe Elder in for Thallid Shell-Dweller . Steve beats Fungus, which is probably one of the weakest tribes.
- Vish Kal, Blood Arbiter in for Tidehollow Sculler . Sculler was small and annoying in the Cube. Vish Kal is 7CC of awesome.
- Insurrection in for Crater Hellion . A creature people avoided playing for everyone's creatures!
- Avatar of Woe in for Butcher of Malakir . Butcher is about to go in a deck, and doubles Grave Pact in the Cube anyway.
- Scythe Specter in for Nightmare . On account of being more awesome in a Cube setting.
- Skullbriar, the Walking Grave in for Llanowar Dead . Same cost, infinitely better. And fits the Zombie and Elemental tribes.
- Minds Aglow in for Sigil of Sleep . A card no-one played for an accelerant.

Further wholesale Commander-induced changes...
- Wrexial, the Risen Deep in for Wydwen, the Biting Gale . One UB legend out, a much more fun one goes in.
- Angel of Despair in for Evershrike . Shrike was underwhelming. The angel is not.
- Chromeshell Crab in for Frostwind Invoker . The playgroup's overwhelming hate for the Invoker is sated by replacing it with creature theft. :)
- Basandra, Battle Seraph in for Bull Cerodon . The Cerodon was an underwhelming fatty with no evasion, while Basandra has flying and is at least interesting. She is henceforth in the Well See How She Plays group. :)
- 4x card:Mishra's Factory out for Elfhame Palace , Salt Marsh , Shivan Oasis and Urborg Volcano . This one had been driving me nuts. Id been hoping to put the M10 lands in, but these will do.
- Coastal Tower in for Pillar of the Paruns . Completes the set. The Pillar was only helping you cast one in every six or seven cards anyway.
- Svogthos, the Restless Tomb in for Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle . We keep a man-land in the Cube (and a Zombie at that), replacing Valakut, which was never going to work well in this format.
- Mortivore in for Guul Draz Vampire . A slight curve change. Any arguments? :)
- Lhurgoyf in for Sporesower Thallid . Decent beef in to replace fungus.
- Brawn in for Sporoloth Ancient . Ditto. Can be discarded by several things, and blanket trample will help un-stall games.
- Mulldrifter in for Magus of the Bazaar . Mully was already in, but Id botched something somewhere. Magus comes out in the tidy-up. Dont think therell be too many complaints.
- Anger in for Viashino Cutthroat . As per Brawn , can be discarded easily, and should help finish games. Cutthroat was only in to interact with Pandemonium , and was annoying me.
- Eternal Witness in for Psychotrope Thallid . Another good straight swap.
- Liliana Vess in for Spoils of Evil . Heck yeah. Only need to find an excuse to free our single Jace up, and we have a walker for all five colours.
- Scavenging Ooze in for Thallid . Looked good in the playgroup's Commander deck challenge, and replaces fungus here.
- Veteran Explorer in for Utopia Mycon . We maintain our colour-fixing while losing fungus.
- Oblivion Ring in for Wing Shards . Got one in the Commander decks, so in it goes, as its better removal.

...
- Warstorm Surge in for Pandemonium . People hated the two-sided nature of Pandemonium, so it never got picked. The Surge will hopefully be a different story.
- Hateflayer in for Jokulhaups . Maintains the curve, adds a very good Elemental to work with Incandescent Soulstoke .
- In the Web of War in for Furnace of Rath . Furnace suffered from the same problem as Pandemonium (I need a Fire Servant in here eventually). For those yet to play it, ItWoW is fantastic. Looking forward to watching it introduce itself to new friends. :)
- Kyren Negotiations in for Blood Moon . Moon was useless once Goblin King was gone. Negotiations should be interesting, especially with token generators.
- AEther Sting in for Fault Line . Another card suffering from the same syndrome as Pandemonium . Aether Sting is an interesting one-sided effect. This one is also in the Well See How She Plays group.
- Barreling Attack in for Reiterate . No-one played Reiterate. The Attack is one of my old Mirage faves. Hopefully its not complete rubbish in here it should be a surprise scalper at the least.
- Boros Signet in for AEther Spellbomb .
- Golgari Signet in for Kaleidostone .
- Izzet Signet in for Khalni Gem .
- Orzhov Signet in for Spectral Searchlight .
- Simic Signet in for Well of Knowledge . The Signets are working well, and I now have all five enemy-colour signets to put in. They replace three alternate mana-fixers and two cards no-one was playing.
- Nezumi Graverobber in for Deathspore Thallid . Everyones favourite flip card in to remove fungus.
- Hydra Omnivore in for Jugan, the Rising Star . The card I want to see our resident Timmy gleefully slap a Whispersilk Cloak on, swapped for a card that broke the triple mana rule (i.e. dont cost GGG unless you almost win the game).
- Elvish Piper in for Spike Weaver . The Weaver was on my hitlist for being negative and annoying. The Piper is the opposite.
- Kulrath Knight in for Void . A boring sweeper goes for a very good Elemental Knight. Loves being next to Corrosive Mentor , Haakon, Kinsbaile Cavalier
- Makeshift Mannequin in for Persecute . A fun reanimator in for a card that was never going to work in a Cube environment.
- Rubinia Soulsinger in for Storm Spirit . Simply a better option as the alternate GWU card to Treva.
- Trade Secrets in for Show and Tell . Unfortnately, I need S&T for a coming deck. Added some powerful card draw to compensate.
- Dismal Failure in for Turnabout . A little more countermagic in for a card that was situational at best.
- Wanderwine Prophets in for Sarah Palinchron . Lets give people a reason to draft Merfolk! :)
- Summon the School in for Story Circle . And lets add the card that makes the Prophets work!

No Rubinia Soulsinger ... Storm Spirit has to stay.
But also brought Stonehewer Giant in for Serra Angel , which is a ripping swap.

Austere Command in for Purify . Sensible as a straight swap. Command is much better and has much more utility, for only 1 more.
card:Faith's Fetters in for Roar of Reclamation . Dropping Roar to make sure the curve of white spells doesn't become too top-heavy, and because no-one was playing it (you'd have to invest heavily in artifacts during draft, and then hope you're not helping others as you resolve it). We don't have a decent 5cc option to replace Purify, so we'll put in a 4cc option. The Fetters is about the best card not in the Cube, and works well with the enchantment subthemes.
Reveillark in for False Prophet . Dropping a 4cc creature for a 5cc to finish evening the curve out. People were mostly too scared to play the Prophet (it's good, but vulnerable to piffage when you don't want or expect it). The Lark is full of combo goodness, fits the Elemental tribe in the Cube, and potentially brings an infinite combo or two (I suspect, anyway - Coffin Queen stands out as an obvious combo buddy).
Transcendent Master in for Wall of Nets . A straight swap that adds more power to the cube and less passive play. The Wall was half-decent, but the Master sees good play in our meta (and my copy is shiny).

Proliferate in for the Merfolk tribe (as Wanderwine Prophets was proving unplayable). Looks like a good, fun swap!

Cube size now dropped to 360 (to reach an even draft number, given we use 3x 15-card boosters).

Beginning to show themselves up as weak and potentially in need of replacement...
Filth - fun idea, but there's not a lot of self-discard in here, and even less of a guarantee of opponents' Swamps.
Phyrexian Negator - awesome fun card, but strictly worse in multiplayer environments, so people are shying away from drafting it.
Void Maw - doesn't play well with the rest of Black's graveyard theme in the cube.
Red's curve - Probably needs a few less weenies. Goblin subtheme probably needs Wort, Boggart Auntie and/or Siege-Gang Commander to be truly viable.
Reiterate - Boring. :(
Viashino Cutthroat - In here to play with Sneak Attack and Pandemonium , but that's a three-card combo in a draft.
Elite Vanguard - Boring. :(
Inner Sanctum - Meh.
Jugan, the Rising Star - Triple green CC, and we already have Verdant Force .
Cloudstone Curio - Good for broken combos, but not here.
Well of Knowledge - Meh.
Grinning Totem - Meh.
Hornet Cannon - Discussion that outside of use with Grave Pact , it's crap.
Gold's colour ratios - Some of the three-colour cards are crap, for the sake of filling out the three-colour ratios (hi there, Storm Spirit ). Same with some of the enemy dual-colour cards (hello Quicksilver Dagger .
card:Mishra's Factory, Strip Mine - Good, but no-one uses them. Need to replace them with a cycle of cheap duals (e.g. Zendikar Refuges).
