Updating after a full 12 person draft and introduction of the new Ixalan set

We drafted in one pod of 12 for ease, but I think this made the draft experience less engaging as players couldn't map out their draft and think about wheeling

In the card list update, I look to balance removal quality, remove threats that proved unbeatable - such as the protected Glyphseeker.
I think two card combo's like Cat/Oven also didn't provide a particularly fun experience during the draft.

I didn't want to make too many updates without the play data to back it up particularly as I was really happy with the variety of decks that were drafted.

I'm really interested in pushing a land theme a bit more, so I've added in the new cycle of creature lands to support.

Here I look to properly document going forward my "main" cube. I've worked to establish my goals going forward in the cube overview and look to cover key thought processes and selections through new releases.

Prompted by the delivery of my new cube storage, I have expanded on my previous cube to 540 cards, to support my local playgroup that consistently varies between 8-12

The novelty of the no blues cube was interesting, but I think the addition of Blue into the cube will lead to longevity and variety in the gameplay and experience it provides.

I have made some concessions currently based on cards I have available, and hope to acquire some of my first choice cards soon.

The intention is now to lock in the list until I am able to host a full session to get feedback and actual play testing in, given the substantial changes that it has undergone with the additional 180 cards and, well some Blue ones you know?

I welcome all feedback on the list, goals and deck drafts!
Thanks for reading!
