Got to do a first draft of this cube and it went alright.

Broadly speaking I think the archetypes we saw represented would be 2x Low Curve Aggro, 1x Big Creatures, 1x Time Vault Control. I think we used 6 basics total amongst 4 decks, so that's a thing.

Seeing Time Vault vs Pithing Needle + Phyrexian Revoker + Sculpting Steel on Revoker was certainly interesting.

I think there was some inexperience with these types of cards, so it's possible some of those decks could've moved into other synergies - but I think it does mean that "dumping my efficient threat on t1/t2" was probably too common of a strategy.

I'm going to have to look a bit harder at whether it's possible to promote another archetype more, with decks this small it seems like it just winds up being situations where you build around a certain card. I also think a few more ways to sink your mana over multiple turns might be beneficial since you wind up with so much of it immediately. Something like a Chimeric Mass might be relevant instead of one of the bigger threats, and maybe some additional costed mono artifacts to give you something to do.

To start though this update trims to 72 based on some of the least relevant cards and adds a few more ways to try and build up your aggro board after the initial dump.

Dunno about this, might be too many counterspells and make this card too high a pick for Dreadnought to really work as well. The other "ins" for Dreadnought are at 2 and 3, so maybe they go around?
