Let me swing some theory at you:
Blue in your cube is just too strong. This isn't strictly your fault, as the AI is responsible for passing the player ridiculous cards. Being able to get JTMS 6th pick, being able to table things like Consecrated Sphinx and Time Walk, as well as always being able to draft at least 1 brainstorm/ponder/preordain/mystical tutor/fact or fiction makes it feel as though you are being fed Blue every time. As much as I hate to say it, maybe the overall power level of Blue needs to be dropped. Possibly replace cards like JTMS and Consecrated Sphinx with less-splashable, more specific/combo-centric cards. For me, at least, this could lead to more decisions than just 'do I play Blue/Black or Blue/Red. Or Blue/Black/Red.'

Other than that, the cube is great and I'm glad to see it getting put into new versions.

Here is a list of cards that the AI can't use well (at least without a properly deck):

Rare:
    Vampiric Tutor
    Umezawa's Jitte
    Survival of the Fittest
    Squall Line
    Rolling Earthquake
    Morphling
    Armageddon

Uncommon:
    Briarhorn
    Demonic Tutor
    Enlightened Tutor
    Force of Will
    Isochron Scepter
    Regrowth
    Sol Ring

Common:
    Azorius Chancery
    Brainstorm
    Cavern Harpy
    Dark Ritual
    Dimir Aqueduct
    Gruul Turf
    Impulse
    Lignify
    Pestermite
    Rakdos Carnarium
    Selesnya Sanctuary
    Serum Visions
    Sprout Swarm (not properly implemented)

If you replace some of them, the AI might become more challenging.
