Good lord that Apex Altisaur is hilarious as a ramp/reanimation pay-off, and it fits the dinosaur enrage theme in my cube to boot!

NICE! This extends the "cast from your graveyard" theme to white, for those trying to craft a Jeskai identity
Speaking of spells from a graveyard! This seems pretty darn powerful.
Do you think so? I actually fell in love with it because I'm not so sure about the powerlevel.
I like my RG creatures to have attack triggers instead of etb so your opponent is able to interact with it. It also makes haste enablers more valuable.
If compared to Snapcaster Mage and Goblin Dark-Dwellers I don't find this card to be as strong and you still need work for it to be done while it costs 5 mana. Maybe I'm misevaluating it as Glorybringer is one hell of a strong card, but it's also hasty itself and doesn't need some mana investment to be done (and you also need the cards you want to flashback to be in your gy, and you can't use the same card multiple times).
At first glance, I really, really like the card and am very eager to test it out!

My idea is that it would grant some serious card advantage. Goblin Dark-Dwellers have a higher velocity initially, but being able to cast 2-3 spells out of your graveyard every turn while this thing is alive? And you're beating down with 4 in the air? That's a lot of things happening!
For me the biggest deal about this card is that, if it exists, there must be some kind of graveyard support in white in this set. The problem I have with white graveyard strategies are not the payoffs, but the lack of discard-matters spells at allNICE!

White doesn’t really need the discard outlets, it just wants to cast the applicable cards twice. There’s a few really excellent flashback spells in white and w/x pairs, the best of which even makes spirit tokens for the Geistcaller! Besides, any color you will pair white with, assuming you’re going to anchor this theme in more than one color, actually does have decent discard outlets, so any w/x gy matters deck will, in fact, have access to those if needed.
Also, these two are reasonable-ish discard outlets in white:
Also, also, when we’re on the topic of white cards cast from the graveyard, how cool would Cenn’s Enlistment be if it gave the tokens prowess?
Edit: And how cool would a white Gravecrawler (for humans obv) be?
The worst thing about the black cube is that I can't run Jeskai, and this is a real kick in the nuts. This has everything you could possibly want except for a fourth toughness.

With an instant in hand or on top of your library it does have 4 toughness
With an instant in hand or a noncreature, nonland card on top of your library even!

I love both of these lines of text in general. I wonder if the body is going to be good, annoying, too small, or all of the above.
good body incidental GY hate and a solid mana sink! Even if you're just making 1/1s this is interesting, Jade Mage is no slouch
I know fog is bad, but this is kinda fog by way of time stop
That's not even that bad of an intersection between aristocrats and Wx artifacts, is it? Like it creates something to sac once every turn, as well as providing an artifact every turn. Kind of techy!
Ohran Frostfang looks pretty bomb-y while Selesnya Eulogist seems pretty interesting.

I don't run RB, but this seems like a really interesting anchor in BR madness!
It even supports/run the Ondezeeboot Grixis Discard deck..sorry the Grixis Madness deck without any Madness cards.
I really like this version of Chainer.

Ignore that second ability, This is interesting! Any token btw, so clues/treasures work
Man say what you will about the designs of the new old weatherlight crew, I LOVE the art!
This is an interesting sweeper! Exiling no less
They choose, but you cast it for free?
I don't know if this is broken
