Most of the good ones have been posted so far, but...
There's also some shenanigans you can do with chaining reanimations:
(Valgavoth's Faithful is interesting because it effectively gives you a secret No One Left Behind mode for Unearth.)

If you're doing this, there's also Flesh Duplicate!
Sun Titan into Extraction Specialist into Frostkite as Titan into Image as Titan into Saffi.
Yeah, you're definitely a real person and not a bot!
can we keep this one around I like its provacative and postmodern style
Sorry, this is a Premodern-only forum now. If the best card isn't Fact or Fiction, you get banned.
I think about moving all my gold cards to my occasionals. Instead of having one per guild, I could have like five or six cards per guild and would still see less annoyingly narrow gold cards per draft.
So please hit me with all the cool gold cards (effectively 2-colored) for a lower powered cube environment.
For power level reference here are the 20 guild cards I currently run between core and occasionals:

Just posted about Boros cards in another thread, but here's some really cool cards I'm either trying out in my Main or Reject Cube or that I just have in my "really like these cards" piles/binders (noting these are often a bit on the stronger side):
oh my god yes please put Crypt Champion in your cube I love that cycle so much
...actually, I guess I can just brain dump some "weird stuff that I'm not doing, but you might want to", of various power levels, from the last few years:
Rapid Augmenter is actually cracked because the last ability does not say "nontoken", so be very careful if you want that in a low power environment... but if you're not Young Pyromancering, and so on, it's perfectly fair. The rest are at least some definition of lower powered.

Garland is one I have my eyes on. DRC’s ability is really strong at either filtering your draws or filling the GY. I wouldn’t mind another efficiently costed body with the ability!
Not putting any weight on the recursion, because it’s 7 mana, but it’s bound to happen from time to time.

I am looking for mono green token payoffs, so anything that excels when you make a bunch of 1/1s instead of playing beefy guys. Currently I only have Prosperous Innkeeper my core cube.
You probably already knew most of these - I assume you didn't forget Esika's Chariot, for instance - but I figured I'd cast a wide net, as usual:
Some notes:
Big fan of any excuse to dust off Oran-Rief, the Vastwood.
Bioengineered Future and Jolrael, Mwonvuli Recluse and Turntimber Sower are all "good with tokens but also obviously bleed into another theme" so I'd specifically highlight those for draft-around-ish purposes.
I assume you don't want the "pump things with no abilities" cards but they're funny as hell when they work.
Song of Freyalise is stronger than it looks, if you didn't draft that format.
Champion of Lambholt is probably too strong/unfun because it either dies or you win. But that isn't necessarily a bad thing in small doses.
Edit: and Chord of Calling. Didn't think about that one until after I hit post. The other convoke cards - give or take Gather Courage - are all garbage or else Sprout Swarm, but I love Chord and I will gladly put it in almost any deck because it's one of those cards that scales on power level with its surroundings.
Many cool options apparently.
I am very tempted to try out Cryptolith Rite. It could be a perfect core card, reads simple but makes you think what you can do with it. It's also a very green go wide payoff, distinguishable from white's anthems.
Currently my favo-rite.
Before you wrote this I was thinking of Impervious Greatwurm, but I like it less than Cryptolith Rite.
Exists in old border, super simple text and can lead to some crazy plays.
Turn all of your dorks into actual cards.

Oh my god I have not seen this card in YEARS, I had a friend in middle school that used to destroy me with this... it was in some precon or something
It's on Arena, I had someone roll it in Momir against me just today!
