At 360 I'm only interested in Fractured Identity. Even then, I'm not sure if they'll break into my guild section since it's competing with dual/shock/manland/fetch/geist/Verdict. But I'll like to give it a try. So
Testing:
Fractured Identity
Overall I think it's a rather weak set for cube. But 360 is probably harder to break into than most.
I'm trying fractured identity and the heirloom blade. Not the best product for cube but 1 staple card and 4 awesome commander decks will enhance my mtg experience.
Just Fractured Identity for me. Cool card, definitely more exciting than last year's lone add, Ash Barrens, and cheap.

I can't say I'm pleased to see you and must warn you I may have to do something about it.
EDH: UGEdric
Pauper: URDelver
Modern: UGRDelver
Draft my cube: Eric's 390 Unpowered
In for sure:
- Fractured Identity
- Vindictive Lich (Conspiracy module)
On my radar:
- Heirloom Blade
- Kess, Dissident Mage
- Stalking Leonin
I didn't have too much hopes since tribal themes tend to be bad for cube. Fractured Identity is bonkers though, quality > quantity for me, especially since Commander / Conspiracy can push cards more than normal expansions.
I really like Kess, Dissident Mage, but she's not the first card on my 5$ wishlist. I may also get Taigam, Ojutai Master, as he's more interesting than the average UW card. Fractured Identity is great, but I'm not feeling the need for more steals.
Fractured loyalty definitely. I will be looking to make room for the two new equipment but may only be able to free up a slot for one of them. I think i lean towards the axe if so but both seem solid.
Fractured Identity is my definite include. The Axe is also going to get a proper look. Lastly, Kess has jumped to the head of my Grixis pile if I move to include shards at a later date.
50% Fractured Identity - I get that it is great, I think d-sphere and verdict are two of the best cards in the guild but I cut both a while ago and no one missed them.
30%
Kess -Really exciting to me but most tri-color cards are exciting for about 6 months u and I add it to the Seige Rhino on deck box. Curse of Disturbance -Curse of Shallow Graves has been in and out and this is better

You could probably cut one of the 3s. I get that they're all good, but that deck doesn't seem to lack support at that specific point in the curve.
Fractured Identity is the only for sure inclusion this year. I'm still discussing the two equipment with my group, so we may proxy them up for a test run in our next draft. I'm not very hopeful about them, though.
Heirloom Blade would have been mildly interesting if I didn't just cut my humans package. That was the only real tribal strategy in my cube. This equipment would have added to that, since humans are the most common creature type in my cube. Without that tribal theme, it feels out of place though. I keep this card in mind for when I reinclude the package later.
Qasali Slingers in place of Conclave Naturalists. Mostly because I hate Naturalists' art, but also in the dream that Brimaz will do something especially oppressive someday.

Same. I was also holding out hope for Runo Stromkirk to get a card.
