Even further off topic - did you go ahead and build a Myr Servitor cube? If so, any chance you could post the list? I could use some inspiration.i put out feelers in my group for myr servitors stating id give a dollar rare from my box for each one i was brought. Got a reply that day saying "ill be collecting my 74 dollar rares". O_o

I think there are many different "themed" cubes that are possible and playable and even quite fun that might not follow the highlander rule.
Myr Servitor cubes* are probably the most extreme example of breaking the singleton rule, and I think it works brilliantly there. I'm trying to work up the enthusiasm to build one myself - but tracking down 100+ Myr Servitors is going to be a bitch.The main reason to break the singleton rule is to push some kind of theme even if it is in a more traditional cube.
(*Myr Servitor cubes are (usually) small, artifact-themed cubes that have a huge number of Myr Servitors on hand, which drafters can add to their pool during deck construction.
The cube contents and gameplay revolve heavily around the fact that all players will probably have a large army of Servitors on hand at any given time.)

PhantomS has it covered - variance. It's the same reason you should probably make your cube a bit bigger than required for your usual group size (eg. if you routinely draft with 8 players, make a 450-card (10-player) cube.) That way you don't see exactly the same card pool every session.
Incidentally, some people take the singleton thing even further and ban functional reprints. Common examples include Mistral Charger -> Stormfront Pegasus, Armageddon -> Ravages of War, Arc Lightning -> Flames of the Firebrand.
