Woe Strider I dislike personally because it's so much value (would play ot wothout the escape). I just stumbled upon Legion Vanguard which will probably be the answer for now. Acivation cost is a big deal but explore is the best(?) scry.

I want a viscera seer with surveil something fierce
i dig this card too, is in my stable of “stuff that i like but doesn’t quite work right now” just waiting for me to support crats again
I like it because it’s cheap, free sacrifice and needs some build around, but the payoff is nice! It rewards you differently than most aristocrat cards which helps diversify play patterns.
Just make all scrying in your cube into surveil! Nothing could be easier.
(What's that? Custom cards? Nah, changing the rules is easier, and never-ever has unforeseen side-effects!)
Honestly, it depends on how long the games are. I like monument, but I think Skyfisher has more utility in formats in shorter games. However, Skyfisher needs a pretty robust synergy package to be great, I don't think it's an ideal card if players are bouncing vanilla creatures or lands to their hand every time they cast it. Likewise, if Monument is making 5 or more warriors every game by itself, it may be the preferable pick.
My cube can't handle the combo, but I like both. Is Monument more cute than good? I know that Skyfisher tends to get the nod.
Both of these cards have their moments, both have drawbacks. Ultimately, it depends more on your tastes.

Certainly involves less digging around on reddit
Show me some good Magic Reddit sections?
r/BadMTGCombos is literally the only good one.

Those are where I usually go, also just searching on Artstation, DeviantArt, etc
KOA, (partially) because the disenchant mode leaves the body behind rather than saccing. also partially because you can just get a 4/3 beater sometimes. also partially because sometimes you’re up against aggro and the lifegain is great. Pridemage does pretty much 1 thing and Autumn does that PLUS other good stuff

Yeah, basically flexibility trumps lower mv here.
Thanks @blacksmithy @Onderzeeboot
Switching them around. I thought the results would be different. Yay forum community!

In my cube, 
tends to go wide, so having Exalted is of little benefit compared to KoA’s additional flexibility.

Getting a free Breath of Fire on every land feels like it's great when you're ahead or at parity, but incredibly mediocre when behind. I guess he's good flood insurance.
Gut, on the other hand, has been reportedly very strong. How has he been for you?

I have tested Gut and cut him for being way too overpowering for my power level. It is really, really strong. Gut is, in my opinion, easily a bigger removal check than Goblin Rabblemaster, a card I'm not comfortable with running either.

I am only commenting to add that Rock requires the creature to tap in order to be sacrificed which is kind of a big deal relative to the situation.
Thanks, that's exactly what I needed to hear.
That's the problem, I wish that these two could somehow split their power difference. I think the answer is that neither is going to hang with the rest of my cube from a power level standpoint.
