I've been looking for another red non-basic land and Kher Keep seems like something worth trying out. It's not as aggressive as a Ghitu Encampment or Teetering Peeks, but it looks promising.

This. I recently cut Plow Under from my list because no one ever played it, but everyone in my group likes Primal Command. From your original list, I think the following cards could be just fine in a cube if their end-results were closely monitored: Show and Tell Tinker Natural Order Eureka...

This. All five of the Charms from SOA were extremely versatile.

I'm currently trying out Farseek in my list. I started out with Kodama's Reach, but then cut it because I wanted a unique effect. I tried Harrow for the double landfall triggers, but then switched to Farseek after cutting most of the landfall stuff.

I used to run Nalaar, but I wasn't a big fan because the mana cost didn't justify the power-level of her first two abilities, IMO. When Firebrand came out, I had every intention of running her once her price tag got past the price inflation from the standard format. However, by that time I had...

Technically, that's no different than Inkwell Leviathan.

Yeah, I wouldn't run that thing in my cube. It's like a cheaper Jace, Memory Adept.

Just read through this whole thread and found it incredibly thought-provoking. My artifact support is subpar at best and I'd love to get some more mileage out of Tinker and Goblin Welder. Doesn't seem like anyone answered this yet, but on paper I think that's a definite YES. Without the Sword...

Or, some combo hate that's not totally unplayable elsewhere... Krosan GripSudden Shock

I think this thread says otherwise...http://www.mtgsalvation.com/forums/magic-fundamentals/magic-rulings/541664-bestow-and-spirit-creature-subtype-tallowisp?comment=1

Signal Pest is probably the only one of these cards that could go in a non-Affinity deck. It's probably reasonable in Zoo/token decks, and it probably carries a Sword well enough. I suppose Chromatic Sphere/Chromatic Star could at least fix a little. Maaaaaybe Blinkmoth Nexus as a flat-broke...

@Kruin Striker: Yuck. I would run so many other red twos over this. @Heartless Summoning: In standard, a 60-card deck with four copies of this was barely a tier-2 strategy. I doubt you would be able to do much better in limited.

Hey all, I found this article on SCG today, and after reading through it, I scrolled to the end to find a visual spoiler of the cube contents. Among other things, he has a lot of support for the Affinity archetype, including all of the following: Arcbound RavagerEtched ChampionCranial...

One very underrated card in my cube is Devoted Druid. You might try him if you want to get out of the gate a little faster. Another multi-color green card I'm excited to put back in my list is Master Biomancer. It's exactly what the green ramp deck wants to cast right before it starts dropping...

I guess I'll go by color: - White: Sun Titan/Reveillark for creatures. Elspeth, Knight-Errant for non-creatures. - Blue: Mulldrifter. - Black: Recurring Nightmare, mostly because it's either banned (EDH) or awful (Legacy) in other formats. - Red: Koth of the Hammer, because his ultimate seems...

I think there's a lot of context that should be taken into account here. - The cube happens to run double fetches, which to me says better fixing and easier access to the duals that allow you to get past the triple-red casting cost. - The cube also happens to run four Birthing Pods, which makes...

Hindsight being what it is, I think I would have taken the Coalition Relic as the first pick here. There are a couple of expensive spells (Karn, Titan, Kiki) and one of them should likely come back. Plus, there's points for staying open with a colorless card.

The big list of changes above is now official, along with a couple more small ones based on a few new cards I picked up (new Elspeth, etc). Still working on fitting in Blood Artist, Gifts Ungiven, and Thassa.

Behemoth Sledge seems like the perfect fit for what you are describing.

Without haste, it seems pretty close to Precursor Golem, which is still a fine card. Granted, green five-drops are a lot harder to manage than colorless ones, but at least it's not completely unplayable. EDIT: also, +7 nostalgia points. My group loved this card back in the day.
