Playmats are a constant problem in that people often don't bring one. Seating for drafts can be a problem too. So I'm going to use a new method wherein I'll take 8 playmats and toss them out onto the table and then keep in hard sleeve with my cube matching magic cards for the playmats and have people draw at random and sit at the corresponding mat. So I need the best 8 mats for this. This means it must be a mat of a card. The card should be a cube card or generally just amazing mat for some reason (like an original Serra angel mat I ran across) and the corresponding card shouldn't be insanely expensive (I'm not buying another lotus just to pair up with my lotus mat for seating. Thoughts? Ideas I had:
Jtms, port, tolarian academy, sofi, dack fayden, city of brass, deathrite shaman, force of will, Serra angel, PT Madrid Avacyn

Cool idea! If you're already planning to buy the playmats, it's not that expensive to get playmats custom made with the art of your choice through a company like Inked Playmats or Printer's Studio.
I'd go with the art from classic and iconic cube cards that are powerful enough to never get outclassed in cube, but also cheap enough to have an extra on hand. I'd also want to represent every color. Not knowing your exact list or favorite cards, here would be my choices:
Just a personal preference, but as artists own the rights to print playmats using their art, I do not feel comfortable circumventing them and printing it myself without authorization. Inked playmats should not allow it to occur either.
