I have a 360 unpowered cube. No AVR has been added at all. Looking over the set, there seems to be a decent amount that can go in. What all have you added?
That's interesting; are people using 360 cubes cutting one of Helix, Vengeant or Figure for the Stronghold? I thought it was a close fourth behind those three, myself.
I think the general consensus is that Lightning Helix is very good, but interchangeable and generic. Slayers' Stronghold, on the other hand, offers something unique and extremely helpful to the archetype.
Specialities about the cube: U tempo, B aggro, R slow-ish are supported. G aggro is not.
Currently trying to support tokens in all colors but blue, in different ways: W pumps them, B sacrifices them, R suicides them, G has decent-sized ones.

You know, looking at the cards I've added to my cube I'm surprised how many there are considering how much I absolutely hate drafting AVR. Of course it's no wonder that all of the cards are creatures, and AVR is a very durdle format revolving around combat with very few instant speed tricks that aren't attached to creatures, so I guess the ample removal in the cube balances it out?
Merged with the [AVR] thread.

Silverblade Paladin, Fettergeist, Tamiyo, the Moon Sage, Ulvenwald Tracker and Hound of Griselbrand were the other ones that made it into my 400 card cube, and Bonfire of the Damned would be if I hadn't been screwed out of the copy I pre-ordered for £8, not even predicting it would rise to 3x that. I have yet to update my list because I'm waiting on the Paladin to arrive still.
On spoiled card wishlisting and 'should-have-had'-isms:
Off the top of my head this is what I've added:
Fettergeist
Wolfir Avenger
Zealous Conscripts
Restoration Angel
And that is all, not counting a foil Barter in Blood as that's a reprint. I'm also reasonably sure Lightning Mauler will eventually make it in too.
