Looking for a solid multiplayer cube list i can build around, started off with a box on conspiracy sleeved up but would like to improve it. Don't have allot of time for deck building anymore and with this having been on my to do list for months i'd like to get it sorted.

Well, for my first cube, I started gathering all the cards that had rotated once Khans came out and Ravnica lost a lot of value. I'm a huge fan of Return to Ravnica and all my friends had tons of card from the block they weren't using. I amassed something like 4000 cards form this block and started putting things together. Eventually, I settled on making each guild have 35 cards (6 Rares/Mythics, 9 uncommons, and 20 commons). I added in a single copy of each walker from the block and 35 cards supporting cards outside of the guilds. This gave me a total cube size of 390 cards. Since the color constraints of the cube are rather high, we usually draft it in 4 packs of 14 cards each. It gives enough freedom to pick into strategies while still feeling rather limiting. The cube can be drafted in this fashion for up to 6 players. If there's more than that, we drop down to 3 packs.

Cubes generally fall into two types: ones that revolve around specific expansions or strategies and ones that are mismatched piles of fun cards. The key is to get together a lot of cards and then to make sure each color gets its fair share of cards. Keep ACMC of a color in mind too. It's often a little easy to lose track of giving players the ability to build around a curve when you're just sticking in cards you like.

For now, maybe put up your list first as an EDH deck in private on tappedout. Then start looking at cards you've got access to and how the various mechanics would interact with each other in a limited format. It helps if you've got a lot of drafting experience.
