Ever since Zendikar released back in the day, I knew I was in love.

Following the announce of Battle for Zendikar, I've been putting together a list of cards for a Zendikar Cube. Any card that has ever been printed in Zendikar, Worldwake, Rise of the Eldrazi, Battle for Zendikar, and the upcoming set are eligible. The catch is to keep it balanced and down to 360 cards (for an even 8-man draft). I have almost all of the cards needed for this. My list just needs tweaked. Any help here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Themes...

-Allies: They're the biggest part of this cube. I want a majority of my players to be able to draft allies and draft a decent deck with them. So, at least forty percent of the creature base should be allies.

-Tribes: Vampires were huge back in original Zendikar, with Kalastria Highborn at the helm for some pain to the dome. Elves were pretty big too. Goblins followed the pattern. I want to show this here too. I also wanted to show a fringe Kor and Merfolk tribal theme.

-Expeditions/Quests: Original Zendikar was huge about quests and enchantments that led to something amazing. I want to keep that trend. Some quests are worse than others. Probably going to cut a few of these first.

-Traps: It's a TRAP! I haven't been able to say those words since back in the day. What better way to bring that back then putting a handful of traps in the cube?

-Landfall: This is Zendikar incarnate. No, not Zendikar Incarnate, but close enough. Without landfall, I'm not sure the set would've taken off the way it did. Well, there are some of these things...

-Planeswalkers: Jace, the Mind Sculptor will be in here. Why? I want every planeswalker that played a role in the sets to appear. Only one card for each though. (i.e. Gideon, Ally of Zendikar over Gideon Jura, Ob Nixilis Reignited over Ob Nixilis, the Fallen)

-Eldrazi: I love the Eldrazi! Unfortunately, I find them insanely powerful and aside from the classics, too much for the format. Like I said, I want the allies to steal the show. I don't need the Eldrazi mucking that up for them.

-Level-ups: I'm not sure if everyone else shares this feeling towards them, but I absolutely hated the level-up mechanic. I included a few of the good ones to appease everyone though.

-Help me out! If you have any ideas, let me know! I'm here to listen, and I'll greatly appreciate any input! Be prepared for me to defend a cut though. :P

-Thanks!
