Caldera Hellion
The first deck I made was a Kresh the Bloodbraided EDH deck, made up from the BRG intro packs from Shards and Conflux and the RG intro pack from Reborn. Eventually, I realized that a functional EDH deck would require a bit more than that (as it turns out, Goblin Piker is not good in EDH), so I made my first singles order.
Caldera Hellion was in that order. And while so much of that deck has changed over time, it's still in there. Still clearing the board of small obstacles for Kresh, still making sure Kresh is big enough to deal with the big obstacles.
Aggro beats control; news at eleven.
Aggro decks being played more often is why I've started to run cards like Inundate and Austere Command, and planning on running cards like Evacuation and the questionable Worldslayer. But even then, fast decks that can win before Zur gets played will always be this deck's weak spot.
Totally forgot about Hokori. Yes, that one should go in.
Walls aren't so much a 'theme' as they are a necessary evil. Again, it's a constant internal debate whether I should run walls or more counters, and I change my mind after every match.
High Ground and Drift of Phantasms are both possibilities I'll look into. Mnemonic Wall has always seen overcosted to me, but I'll play around with it too.
Not sure how Rolling Stones would work as a win condition. Attacking with walls doesn't help if your walls all have zero power.
Wall of Reverence also won't go in; Zur's usually shrouded. Even when he isn't, gaining about four life a turn probably isn't worth the slot.
EDIT: Nomad Mythmaker as a repeatable Auramancer? Mistmeadow Skulk as a wall against all those EDH fatties?
Hello!
This was my third deck. It tries to win with the most difficult win condition in EDH: milling. Does this budget, no-infinite-mana-combo decklist succeed in that regard? Well, rarely; I've done it a few times, but not often. But the deck still performs moderately well in my group, since the deck contains Wrexial, the Risen Deep as its general, as well as a bunch of other cards that interact with opponents' graveyards. This isn't the usual reanimator deck; instead of dumping cards into my own graveyard and using them, I want to win using my opponents' cards. Quirky and casual, true, but I enjoy the inherent variety -- each match-up plays completely differently.

Thank you for your comments and criticisms!
Inundate is a recent addition; I haven't had a chance to see it in action yet. At its intensive cost, it would only be played after Zur is on the table. Still worth it, I think, though maybe I should add something like Evacuation as well, to clear the board of early aggro beats before Zur hits the table.
Thoughtseize is waaay out of my budget. So is Inquisition of Kozilek for that matter, but I'm hoping it drops in price once Zendikar block rotates out of Standard. Distress is a budget option, but an intensive one at double black.
The walls aren't spectacular, but they do take a bit of edge off early aggro beats. Always torn between keeping the walls or swapping them out for anti-creature counterspells and removal.
EDIT: Is Worldslayer (combined with Flickerform, of course) a good idea, as a source of budget mass land destruction? Incredibly expensive, but easily enough to win with if the opponent doesn't have an answer.
Hello!
This was my second deck, and I want to say this right off the bat: I think making this deck was a mistake. This isn't as much due to Zur being so strong in 1v1 matches; this build isn't as ridiculously overpowered as the typical competitive build. Rather, I've just found that tutor generals can be boring; boring and formulaic when you're winning, and boring and frustrating when you're losing.

Hello!
This was my first EDH deck, and has gone through many iterations, from every half-decent B/R/G card I owned when I was first starting out, to being focused on token generation, to its current incarnation full of removal and board wipes. It's performed decently well in both 1v1 and multiplayer, but I'd still welcome any advice about how it could be improved.

Thank you for your comments and criticisms!
Next update will probably see the colourless section shrink to 45 or 40, but I want to draft the cube first before making any changes.
Just realized I forgot to put in Bone Shredder and my ninja, but I'll worry about them later.
Thanks for the advice you've been giving!
I'd be more willing to put money into my cube if I knew my group would play it enough to make it worth it. My group could end up playing it once a month, or once a year. Or just once, for all I know.
I've already got Dark Ritual, Duress, and Doom Blade in the cube, so that takes care of that. OUT --> IN swaps for the other cards are below, all are tentative.
WHITE:
Sigil of the Empty Throne --> Glimmerpoint Stag
Probably the best swap; as you pointed out, the enchantment subtheme probably won't work. It does push the creature/noncreature mix for white to 24/21. Drop Leonin Abunas instead?
BLUE:
Vedalken Certarch --> Preordain
March of the Machines --> Condescend
Pushes creature/noncreature mix to 19/26. Also pushes counterspells to 7. Too much? Too little? Drop something like Foil instead? Since this isn't a power cube, turn 1 counterspells aren't as important.
BLACK:
Fleshbag Marauder --> Phyrexian Rager (drop Priest of Gix instead?)
Big Game Hunter --> Liliana's Spectre (drop Nyxathid instead?)
Smoldering Butcher --> Nekrataal
Phyrexian Plaguelord --> Puppeteer Clique
Most of your recommendations do make sense. I really like Big Game Hunter, but I guess it's not nearly as good outside of EDH. I don't recall why I didn't run Puppeteer Clique to begin with. I know Nekrataal is fantastic, but I'm also wary of running too many double black cards, as my cube lacks premium manafixing cards.
RED:
Viashino Slaughtermaster --> Sparkmage Apprentice
Thunder-Thrash Elder --> Manic Vandal
Fling --> Forked Bolt
Dragon Breath --> Pyroclasm
Manabarbs --> Smash to Smithereens
I don't know about swapping in Hellkite Charger. Yes, it's good, but good enough? I've found Flameblast Dragon to be fantastic in EDH, but perhaps the combination of haste and extra (albeit expensive) combat phases beats out direct damage in limited.
GREEN:
Copperhorn Scout --> Llanowar Elves
Leatherback Baloth --> Indrik Stomphowler
Mycoloth --> Krosan Tusker
Not much to say here; never liked Leatherback Baloth or Mycoloth in the cube, and I must have misread Krosan Tusker for me to leave it out. This bumps up Green's CMC, but I think it's worth it.
COLOURLESS:
Obelisk of Alara --> Triskelion
I had meant to take out Obelisk of Alara, but had forgotten. Not sure what I could take out for Shuko; Magebane Armor seems underwhelming, but then I don't play with much burn in EDH.
I haven't looking into putting in the ninja yet. I'm contemplating removing my tri-coloured cards, though, which would free up ten slots.
You have, thanks!

Hi! I'm an EDH player primarily, but I've also built this cube, made mostly from what didn't work for my EDH decks, limited events, and from preconstructed decks I own (hence the name). At the moment, I'm only considering cards that are already in my collection, but I'd still welcome any comments on the balance of the cube, and what facets of normal cubes are missing here.
Recently added are draft-matters cards from Conspiracy, as well as Booster Tutor. These can be left out when playing formats like sealed or stack, but they can be inserted into drafts in a couple of ways (Mix them up with the rest of the cube! Seed every pack with one draft-matters card, just like Conspiracy!). Something I hope to try is seeding a Cogwork Librarian into everyone's first pack. Everything else is singleton, but that card warrants an exception.
The card list is below; the number indicates the converted mana cost. You can also view this cube on Cube Tutor.
Thank you for your comments and criticisms!
