I compiled a list of Gold card that you could/should include in your cube. Why ? because I had time and because it saves other people who want to make a cube a lot of time.
For those who already have a cube, it would be nice to have confirmation that these are indeed the better cards of the multicolored cards.
First of all : definition of multicolor cards : if the card is more than one color by definition of the Magic rules.
For example, hybrid cards are multicolor, kicker cards aren't to me.
(Why ? because otherwise I had to search more cards )
I have made a top 10 list + a list of cards that didn't make top 10.
the top 10 should be somewhat ordered, but not always.
The cards that didn't make top10 aren't bad cards. They should be good substitutes for the top 10 if you don't have those.
I hope many of you will try to make this list as complete as possible.
Explain us why you want a certain card to be in the top10 list or the top10+ list. Explain why a card should not be in the top10 and what card should take its place. These lists aren't fixes and will hopefully change over time.
I will edit if you've convinced me ;-)
For one, I hope I'm not correct about all the list, because this means there are more cards to discuss and think about.
One more thing: there's no point in discussing how bad U/G cards are. We all know that and also that W/G/B combinations (all 3) have the best cards.
I just want the best PER combination.
I now also have the more-color-combinations lists.
These lists are not really big, as there are hardly playables except for the 6/6 Legendary Dragons. Still, some cards are worth mentioning. They're here just to complete the multicolor batch actually ;-)
Edit :
As per request by lim_gien, a few cards that can be seen as multicolor cards, aka "Poor man's gold" I am not going to sort these into the other lists, as you can play them monocolored :
Nice thoughts. There are some choices I would have never thought about for my cube, but now heavily considering. I find it so easy to find good RG and GW cards... but some of the off colors it's easy to step into dreadfulness.
Why isn't Sliver Queen (queen > legion) in the 5 color part of the cube? I would also think that Cromat could be a fun addition. Also if you pack enough dragons, Scion of the Ur-Dragon could be worth a look.

I am looking for Date Stamped promos from Khans of Tarkir block so I can finish my set. Check my wants if you have any.
Currently offering 2 non-foil Kolighan's Command for a Date Stamped foil!
I did not consider Scion of the Ur-Dragon.
I did consider Cromat, but in the end decided that his abilities aren't that easily played. The point was to at least list highly playables. Why DID I list the 5/5 Elemental, well, haste and trample ..
omg Sliver Queen, how could I miss that.. I'll edit right away !!
lim_gien, well I decided NOT to include them, but yeah, most of them won't be played wihtout the extra color payed for it. Azorius Herald and Crypt Champion are other nice examples.
Maybe I'll make a list of those as well later on, but in my eyes, they aren't Gold cards ;-)
As we play in limited EDH with my cube, i added both cromat and Scion. THe nicer is definatly Scion, it feets really well the reanimator theme, for dual kokusho or dual yosei tricks.
just seems better than guildmage i guess, at least from my perspective, i know guildmage can be a house if let be in limited formats but saffi is a bear and really just negates a removal spell
Good question .. Anyone wants to share an opinion about that ?
I think, that hybrid mana cards are more playable than just multicolors. This means this cards could just be a WW 2/2 with 3W: all creatures +1/+1. That's pretty good in white weenie. You can't say that of Saffi.
Although there is a good point in using saffi, but it is more a reactive card, I like active cards..

Not sure its the same in every cube, cause of mana fixing issue, but WW strategy is allmost allways splashed green in mine, and having another ANgelic renewal like, which got a 2/2 body, is really nice. Its allso usefull in some combo strategies (Karmic guide for example) and overall, not that bad. Selesnya guildmage is really good in aggro strategy, so it's hard to decide between them. All depend on how your cube is drafted and what archetypes are played...
