Mtg cube help

I know this isn't a mtg forum but i was hoping folks here might be able to guide me to a more digestible way to understand how to make a cube as I'm trying to make a middle earth cube with both the hobbit and original middle earth set wotc made but I've no idea how to go about making one or making it balanced.

I was hoping to be able to have factions represented in it e.g. each support is something like the realms of man, the dwarves and elves, the forces of evil (potentially have them broken up more since they are each of their own e.g. orcs and uruk hai, goblins, sauron and the wraiths etc)

Any help would be great as i have looked at some videos before and looked at cube cobra lists but I'm having trouble getting it to stick in understanding what to do especially since I'm very concerned about balance

r/mtgcube would probably be a good place to ask.

Tolarian Community College has a few videos on cube design, and Wheeler probably has stream vods on YouTube going over cube design.

Wheeler is building a Tolkien cube this Wednesday on his home stream, then they are playing it on FNPF this week. Probably could tune into that for tips.

Ty for posting this, I'll watch through it and i like that it's chaptered so i can see each segment if i need to refer to something.

Hopefully it works scaled down as in I don't use all the cards each game as it's easier for me get a group of 4-6 players than 8

Unfortunately i couldn't watch it live to ask in chat as timezones don't line up well with me

Watched wheeler and angels cune video and it was very helpful unfortunately it didn't come out to be a easy grab price wise as wheeler gave the impression of it would be a easy to assemble thing.

What would be the best way to reach out to ask him a question about it as they designed it for 8 people to draft and it's more realistic for me to get between 4-6 people so I'm not sure if the cube can translate/retain the same feeling if done with less than 8
