Looking for more eyes on Gorod Krovi, my 360 Unpowered-Synergy cube.

Looking for more eyes on Gorod Krovi, my 360 Unpowered-Synergy cube.

Hello! Last week, my local group drafted Gorod Krovi, my cube centered around fun cards I enjoy and archetypes I enjoy drafting. Over the last few events that we've drafted it, players have had fun both sticking to the "perscribed" archetypes, and there's usually one or two drafters doing something silly each draft (Gruul Control, Bant Tokens, Orzhov Zombies all being notable examples). This is meeting the goal - players new to the environment should feel comfortable drafting based on what the 2-color signpost cards tell them that pair is about, while the experienced drafters do everything they can to make odd themes and soup work.

This could just be a case of variance across the edits and drafts, but the cube's history has kept sliding back between "blisteringly fast Aggro decks running everyone over" and "the boards get too clogged and nothing happens." I have a few cards marked for removal as they fail the groan-test, and my players have suggested adding a couple more removal cards per color and a couple more evasive threats per color to solve these issues.

I'm curious about your outside opinions and want to know what immediately stands out to a stranger to the environment. Thanks in advance for your insight!
