This is my pseudo-budget cube. My playgroup loves drafting and playing sealed and it's just not feasible to keep buying packs, so I'm preemptively assembling and analyzing this so that we can start playing after our recent box of M12 runs dry.

It's pseudo-budget in that it only uses cards from my own private collection, which means there is some interesting card choices (ie, only one Titan, random nonbasics instead of cycles). It's currently balanced at 400 cards, 55 of each color, 85 gold (including nonbasics and guild signets), and 40 artifacts and colorless lands. I have a few questions...

1) I've read that I'm heavy on multicolor spells, even allowing that more than a third of them are lands and mana rocks. If you were going to cut five-ten multicolor spells, what would they be and why?

2) Are there any low-key commons or uncommons I'm not running that I should? (perhaps ones to fill the above gold slots).

3) I feel like this cube is creature-light and will push control decks, which would be antithetical to what my playgroup will enjoy. How might I combat this?

4) If you had $20 to spend on singles to upgrade the cube, what would be at the top of your list to invest in?
