I present to you my Old Border Nostalgia Cube! It currently has 420 cards. I know that's an off-number as far as cubing goes, but I will rarely ever be drafting with even 6 people, and I like the extra cards for variety in drafts.
I am not running any of the Power 9 Cards, but I am trying to make this cube as powerful as possible, within my budget. At the moment, if a strong card isn't in the cube it's because I [a] don't have it, [b] it's too expensive, or [c] I'm unaware of how good a card it is. That being said, please let me know of any overpowered cards that you think should be in here that aren't already!
The criteria for the cube is simple: It must have been printed in an old border; Modern cards with and old border from promotional printings don't count!
At the moment I'm still trying to balance the colors - the Gold section is a little off right now.
My concerns: Balancing hate cards. How many cards should I run that specifically take out enchantments and artifacts? Currently I have 6 cards that target artifacts, not counting sweepers that clear more and don't target. Currently there are 6 cards that target enchantments, again, not counting sweepers. Is this enough, when considering the power of the enchantments and artifacts that I've included?

Other cards I'm considering but don't own yet:
Chronatog, for the Stasis lols.
Stormbind
Desolation Angel
Fastbond
Tangle Wire
berserk
Pandemonium
Exploration - if I can find an old border copy, but maybe Fastbond is just better.
Thanks in advance for any feedback!
Best,
