I have REALLY been enjoying the @MTG_Arena cube this week. The colors are more balanced than I expected, and there are surprisingly few duds for a first attempt. Here's a bunch of extremely subjective opinions that folks are welcome to attack viciously:
Top 10 cards to open:

* Elspeth Conquers Death
* Agent of Treachery
* Thassa, Deep-Dwelling
* Kiora Bests the Sea God
* Liliana, Dreadhorde General
* Finale of Eternity
* Embercleave
* Dream Trawler
* Ethereal Absolution
* Ashiok, Nightmare Muse
Honorable mentions (arbitrary, many could be top 10):

* The Eldest Reborn
* Llanowar Elves
* Paradise Druid
* Questing Beast
* Teferi, Hero of Dominaria
* Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath
* Casualties of War
* Garruk, Cursed Huntsman
* Karn, Scion of Urza
* Golos, Tireless Pilgrim
First 20 cards I'd cut (because awful), 1/2:

* Board the Weatherlight
* Mace of the Valiant
* Zetalpa, Primal Dawn
* Bond of Insight
* Favorable Winds
* Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive
* Cauldron Familiar
* Duress
* Lotleth Giant
* Nightmare's Thirst
2/2:

* Piper of the Swarm
* Sword-Point Diplomacy
* Blood Aspirant
* Fires of Invention
* Fiery Cannonade (don't need this AND Flame Sweep)
* Squee, the Immortal
* Chainweb Aracnir
* Flaxen Intruder
* Kronch Wrangler
* Vivien's Arkbow
Actually, here's 10 more:

* Savvy Hunter
* Sky Terror (worse than Relentless Raptor, I think)
* Crucible of Worlds
* Entrancing Lyre
* Gleaming Barrier
* Gingerbrute
* Sparring Construct
* Witch's Oven
* Field of Ruin
* Labyrinth of Skophos
I want to see more midrange/control artifacts, more enchantments, and more Izzet instants/sorceries for those archetypes.
