If you are including only one ofs and Gotham Knights why not include Arkham Inmates and all the insanity cards... Most of them are bombs in draft!
If I threw together a cube I would include Arkham and some of the Substitute Teams (Birds of Prey, Marvel Defenders, Teen Titans, or Darkstead)
I actually just noticed that! Rep for the great suggestion.
The problem with Arkham is that you don't really have many styles of drafting it. In my cube for example, you can draft F4 equips, F4 Nova Abuse, F4 beats. Same thing goes for X-Men where you can play X-Stall, X-Mental, X-Rush.
I don't think Arkham really has that many tricks in and of itself for a diverse drafting experience. They would likely always be an insanity deck, which I guess is okay, but I don't think it's on the same power level asthe rest of the cube.
Your suggestions for teams with a common theme sound really good. As Walter pointed out, you can build a 'cosmic' cube. It's pimp #### and I think ima try it after I try this one first.
Have you ever thought about having it where players start with UN building in their opening hand(I know AP had a format that did this)? Is there an updated cube list?
I'm still going through MUN cards trying to decide which to put in. I have a working cube, but it's not my ideal one as I need things like Call in a Favor that people are generally not willing to drop.
You're talking about Adam's Big deck format right? I run 20 team-ups in my cube so there's generally not a team-up issue. I'm not a big fan of it since I want to allow people to run mono team builds.
I reckon these might be all be possible MUN inclusions:
Mr. Fantastic, Haunted Genius
Magneto, House of M
Dr. Doom, Future Perfect
Kang <> Iron Lad, Non-Unique * Young Avenger
Punisher, Captain America
The Captain, Can't Remember His Real Name
Cammi, Annoying Sidekick
Drax the Destroyer, Titan Slayer
Phyla-Vell <> Quasar, Protector of the Universe
Super Skrull, Noble Sacrifice
Death of the Dream
My Name Is Peter Parker . . .
Superhuman Registration Act, Team-Up
Trouble With Dinosaurs
You need the hood. He's too good in limited play to not include him, even if he is crimelords. Red Skull 5 is really good too. Hulkling, The Centurians, The Captain, Heroes for Hire, Beetle <> Mach, invasion plans, blackbolt 1, No Retreat No Surrender, and Iron Man mighty avenger are all ones that would work.
ahhh this is such a good idea!!!
1) pick teams with like strategies
2) pick teams that counter each other nicely.
1) pick teams with similar synergies such as underworld & secret society.
2) so if you play injustice gang burn please pick Jla power up deck to balance it out. So if you put teen titans in your cube please add sentinels to balance it out. Or at least pick something that can compete with titans.
Also consider only haveing 1 of every archtype.
1 rush deck
1 stall deck
1 beatdown curve deck
1 off curve team attack deck
1 instant win condition deck/ combo deck
1 burn deck or gain life deck.
team attack : outsiders, jli or titans
beatdown/control: Fantastic four, X-men, Arkham (insanity), Gotham, Doom, or Jla
stall/control: Doom, spiderfriends,
combo: infinity watch/ illuminati (especially if you play x-men & ff)
rush/burn/concealed: syndicate, brotherhood, injustice gang or Mk
So if you had to pick six teams
ff
doom
gotham
arkham
x-men
brotherhood
you could switch 2 of these for any of these
spiderman
synidcate
injustice gang
Jla
Then I would consider 1 or two little teams such as
Infinty watch/ illuminati or even birds of prey that help fill out a core team but help fill out one of the needed archtypes.
Anyways there is my 2 cents. Several of us will have to test this out to get it to work correctly.
When you say "draft a set of 360 cards," do you mean making 3 piles (common/uncommon/rare) and randomly passing 10/3/1 respectively to everyone three times? Or is it all one huge pile and everyone gets 42 cards?

Why would you force people into specific teams/strategies?
Doesn't that defeat the point of a cube?
The best cube would be one where the same team can play different strategies depending on who plays/builds it!
