That sounds super fun.
I'm so conflicted about tutors. I love playing them, but I haven't put any in my cube because I suspect they're unhealthy in some ways. But part of me is dying to run stuff like Formidable Speaker and Imperial Recruiter.

I will say that stuff like that is simultaneously fairer (more restricted targets / more expensive to cast) and more unfair (easier to recur / flicker) than a conventional Vampiric Tutor.
In general I think they're good effects - when your deck wants to Imperial Recruiter into Young Pyromancer, for instance, it really wants to do that, and the increased consistency leads to making games more fun for the player - but I can respect the worries.
Formidable Speaker specifically looks like it'd fit great in the cube in your sig, between the discard/graveyard payoffs and presence of a few single copies of things I'd like to tutor up (putting Genesis in your hand is halfway to getting it into the bin!)
but I'm a lot more willing to put something in, shrug, risk it, and cut it if it doesn't work out, so in that way I'm deranged, don't listen to me
