The Weatherlight Saga Cube : Old & New
This cube mixes most of the recent Dominaria set and older cards which have a connection to the history of the original Weatherlight Saga.
Mechanics: Legendaries, legendary sorceries, historic, kicker, echo, buyback, alternate costs.
First, I tried above all else to include cards that have a direct link to the story itself, focusing on the old.
-Members of the Weatherlight crew and their siblings.
-Vilains encountered by the crew and their minions.
-The actual ships; Weatherlight and Predator
-Urza, Yawgmoth and all pieces of the Legacy Weapon.
-Cards depicting important scenes of the story.
Second, I mixed relevant cards from the set Dominaria to bolster the historic and legendary themes. I then searched for cards that are related to legendaries somehow, by leaving out those that are too specific or unrelated to the story.
Third, I examined all the World Championship decks (gold-bordered decks) to spot Magic's most powerful/iconic cards of the time, and added those that seemed fair enough without compromising the power level or weaker story-related cards.
I then searched for all expansions set in Dominaria to find more relevant cards and stay in theme, leaving out anything too far from Urza or members of the crew unless the cards felt too important for strategy/archetypes/combos.
(4 players)
I suggest to draft this cube with 5 packs of 9 cards.
You don't want too much obvious wheeling or aggressive cutting.
You will probably play 3 colors or more with splashes or actually 2 colors with very strong options.

I suggest to draft this cube with 3 packs of 15 cards.
With 2/3 of the cube opened, you want big archetypes to shine and lots of possibility to figure out your best spot.
