Supporting aggro is important for me. I find it's a deck that needs me to explicitly support it. But, with so many options, how many 2-power 1-drops do I need? I used this article from Frank Karsten to get an estimate of how many cards I wanted at different casting costs in a draft. My cube is 450 cards, and I did the math assuming an 8-person draft (using the hypergeometric distribution.) How many cards to include at each spot is highly dependent on how you and your group cubes, but if you are like me and have a 450 card cube, and you often draft with 8, maybe these numbers can be helpful.
What I want is there to be at least aggro deck in white, red, and black possible to draft every time. For that, I want 6 1-drops, 8 2-drops, 6 3-drops, and 2 4-drops per color. I'm only considering creatures because they form the backbone of aggro decks. So to get these numbers with at least 90% probability, I need 9 1-drops, 12 2-drops, 9 3-drops, and 4 4-drops in those colors.
I find it's best to stop caring and just put whatever cards you want in your cube. No need for complex formulas.
Furthermore, having certain decks show up 90% of the time kind of defeats the whole point of cube.
What I would do if I really wanted to push aggro would be to take one color and just make that the aggro color. Depending on the power level of your cube, just fill it with as many 1 mana 2/2's and 2 mana 3/3's or whatever and cards like Skittering Skirge as possible

I’m curious cuz I’m trying to make a 360 cube

Ignoring what Magic players say isn't the answer, it's listening to what they have to say and doing the exact opposite that's correct.
