270-card cube with some founding rules/ideas:

Every card must cost $0.50 (fifty cents) or cheaper at its cheapest printing. If a card goes above that by a few cents after being under fifty cents when added, it will not be cut. If it jumps by large amoutns (e.g. to a dollar or more), it will be cut.
No more than one copy of a card (i.e. this is a singleton cube).
Drafts operate with 3 packs of 15 cards each, so max number of players is 6.
No nonbasic, non-enters-tapped-dual lands, as the good ones are all expensive and wouldn't really fit this cube imo.
Trying to fully support 8 archetypes (Affinity, Elves, Humans, Landfall, +1/+1 (Proliferate), Red Deck Wins, Sacrifice, and Spellslinger).
This cube is very synergistic, and heavily encourages (via its cardpool) syngerizing decks. Something like Dimir Control might be possible, but I don't think it'd be very good given the lack of good hand disruption and efficient counterspells. Orzhov seems decent for control though.
This cube is intended to be beginner-friendly.
