"We need Megazord power now!"

Aside from cliched cultural references to mid-nineties kids shows, I have been working assiduously on improvements to the PMC. There are two things that are greatly improving what I'm working with:

1. My local Magic scene is populated with players who are, thankfully, much better than me. These players offer (for free, even!) insight and advice for me to work through. They aren't calling the shots, but being issued a blunt challenge to improve the power, interactivity, and cohesion of the cube is both expected and exciting.
2. I opened a box of Urza's Saga and Urza's Legacy. While those of you without an addictive habit will be scratching your heads going "Why?" I gleefully committed more money than I should have on old cards that are, generally speaking, irrelevant to most formats. I did pick up a few beauties (Gaea's Cradle, two Grim Monolith and two Goblin Welder, and foils of Sick and Tired, Swat, and Unearth, and other miscellaneous stuff) but, more importantly, I shored up access to a wide selection of phenomenal cards.

With some tweaks, additional cuts, and ordering a few cards I don't have I feel confident that the next iteration of the cube will be significantly tightened and appreciably increased in power level.
