Post subject:  Let's make a Modern cube
I've been thinking about this for a while. I want to make a modern cube. And by modern I mean like Modern Masters. Only cards that have the new card frame.

Let's start with the first set.

Mirrodin.

What from Mirrodin would we like to have in our cube?

Aether Spellbomb
Arrest
Barter in Blood
Bonesplitter
Crystal Shard
Fatespinner
Granite Shard
Icy Manipulator
Isochron Scepter
Leonin Sun standard
Lightning Greaves
Loxodon Warhammer
Nuisance Engine
One Dozen Eyes
Pentavus
Platinum Angel
Promise of Power
Pyrite Spellbomb
Raise the Alarm
Regress
Reiver Demon
Skyhunter Patrol
Solemn Simulacrum
Spikeshot Goblin
Terror
Thirst for Knowledge
Triskelion
Troll Ascetic
Vulshok Battlegear

These are some of the ones I think have potential from Mirrodin. Any other suggestions? Or do you think there are any of these that shouldn't be in?

Making a Cube seems like a daunting task. I never played one, but I read some design articles about the Cube and the Modern Masters on the Mothership, and it seems to me it might be better if we started by deciding on some draft strategies, and then choosing cards that fit. Maybe one strategy per color pair? That would give us enough space for eight drafters. I'm not sure this can be made to work in a Cube, but it seems better than just going through the list, picking cards that catch our fancy. Things like Boros aggro, Izzet storm, UG tempo ...

Do you mean cards legal in Modern, or cards printed with the new card frame? Because those are very different things.

I'm thinking cards printed with the new frame so we can include some of the cooler cards from commander decks and such.

And we can come up with ideas for color pairs and for mono as well. Any ideas?

What size Cube are you aiming for? 360? 400? More?

What's the breakdown of commons, uncommons, rares and mythic rares that you're aiming for?

Is this just a concept, or do you plan on building it? If you build it, what's your budget looking like?

Sol Ring seems like a neat inclusion.

Also, the green curse from the new commander decks. And the black one. The blue one maybe.

Anthony Avitollo has been working on a Modern format Cube, and I think he has an article or two up about it.
