Revised Totals: The PMC is Assembled for Testing

In my quest to include as much multicolor goodness in the cube, a little too much got in. After looking over some of my initial selections I found 5 gold and 5 hybrid cards that were very suspect inclusions and, along with a few artifacts and lands, I was able to cut back before finalizing the monocolor choices. Here is the general breakdown of the cube:

• 100 Gold
• 40 Hybrid
• 64 Artifact
• 41 Land
• 35 Each Color

This yields a final cube total of 420. While I don't have a stoner joke for you (though I wish I did) I will say that the cube needs some serious play testing in changes. Each color takes it's core element to a hard extreme:

• White has a lot of creatures that either tap other creatures or are very efficient in combat (first strike, flying, vigilence, protection, etc)
• Blue has a lot of card draw, bounce, and counter spells (most of which are cantrips in of themselves)
• Black has a lot of removal and graveyard recursion effects
• Red has a lot of burn and artifact destruction
• Green has land fetching spells and several "big, dumb creatures"

What worries me is that in order to prevent temptation to run an effectively monocolor deck with a small splash on the side I pushed the monocolor concepts too far and haven't included enough creatures overall. That said, protection is a very strong keyword that White has a lot of, Blue looks like it will be drawing and extra card every turn or so, Black doesn't have any significant creatures but an alarming selection of removal (at least 10 or so out of 35 cards) and Red has a similar situation with burn (again, around 10 or so), and Green really has the biggest creatures by far.

Will these concepts work well together? Will the abundance of removal and burn encourage more splashes of Red and Black or allow an absurd Black/Red deck with an overabundance of spells that punish their opponent's creatures? Is protection, despite being included for every color atleast through the two cycles from Invasion and Conflux, too much to handle? Are big, dumb creatures too much for Blue, Red, or White to handle properly?

I'll have a link to the cube posted next as well as a spreadsheet documenting every card and providing some concise breakdowns.
