there are two kinds of default printing: oldest and newest. Both come with an issue:
Oldest tends to give you the most outta-date, incorrect rules text.
Newest tends to give you cards that are illegible because they're in Phyrexian or have some other super special reprint.
However, i feel that the "cheapest" card (based on tcgplayer prices) tends to almost always be a relatively readable, sane version of the card.
**And it tends to have updated rules text where relevant; collectors seek the funky old card, and the reprint with better phrasing is relatively "flooded" on the market.
**And, this helps prevent a wildly incorrect cube overall $value, which can be caused by one or two particularly rare but innocuous looking printings, sneaking somewhere into your cube.
Main suggestion: to be able to add card by cheapest in addition to newest/oldest.
Pie in the sky: additional checkboxes, so that if you're for instance making a budget cube, a Showcases-only cube, or even a "prefer showcases and foils where possible, but take whatever recent non-weird print you can get", the default card choice tends to be a sane one.
