I like Fiery Justice in Naya because you're probably a creature deck, which means you're running a couple pieces of interaction but not that many of em. Fiery Justice mops up one big threat, or a couple small guys, and if you sequence it with combat, it can be really filthy. It's nice to have a panic button, is what I'm saying.

Alright moving on
I have asked for your Bant, Mardu, Sultai and Grixis cards.
Which Naya cards are you guys running? And why?
I have Wild Nacatl as my only "Naya" card.

Great build around me card. You need to retool your cube a bit to make it shine, but searching up Bonds of Faith, Metamorphic Alteration, and Phyrexian Arena is just too much darn fun
It's not hard to get an artifact subtheme going in these colors, and whether you're running a low powered or high powered cube, this card is always a perfect incentive to go into these three colors. Great chain target in reanimator decks as well, where you can Reanimate two creatures with one spell.
Currently my third slot, connects with a lot of subthemes: discard for value, reanimator, zombies, life gain. Fun card all around, but it still needs to prove itself.
For higher power cubes, Chromium, the Mutable might be appropriate, but it looks way too nasty for my cube.
Zur!!

Oh wait I already have Compulsion in there.
Good list, will think about them tomorrow.
Anyone else wants to to add?

I'm looking for a black creature, that's hard to get rid of and will eventually win a game. It could be recursive, regenerating, an enchantment, something that creates multiple threats. I'm talking about a card, that works as a control finisher in a deck with very few threats. I'm currently running:
which is ... okay. But it's kinda boring and could be slightly more tempting. In blue I have these two, which I am very happy with. They both don't just die to an O-Ring but are still not overly strong:
Does black have some similar sweetness?

Wait... That might not be the right power level :')
These are all options I run in my cube. Maybe there's something you like?

Call the Bloodline is a new addition I still have to test out. It actually replaced Liliana of the Veil, so it has some big shoes to fill :')
Undead Gladiator has been fine. It's a bit slow, but it does cycle nicely through your deck in a slower control deck, all the while getting value of your discard effects (be it direct Drake Haven type cards or fodder for your reanimator spells). It also actually has a pretty good rate as a recursive threat. 3 power for three mana is not nothing.
Looking for:
-White 6-drop.
--Less Powerful than Sun Titan but better than Sentinel of the Eternal Watch.
--Doesn't flicker or wipe the board.
-Black 2-Drop Zombies
--Costs 1B
--Doesn't look silly next to the other medium-high powered black 2-drops except for maybe Dark Confidant.
---Preferably an Aggro card or something that can be used in a zombie-based combo/value deck.

I think this has a lot of potential actually. Been good in retail limited.

I was kind of thinking about that one. I haven't had a chance to draft GRN yet- is Mentor a good mechanic in limited?

Mentor is delightful, but this card is a lot more 5/5 flier than mentor or counter source. It's an upside, but it's mostly just a dragon.
Do you think some of the other mentors (save Aurelia) are playable?

Tajic, Legion's Edge, Legion Warboss, Boros Challenger, Sunhome Stalwart, Goblin Banneret and probably Truefire Captain are all solid. (Haven't tested that last one)
I'd stay away from Parhelion Patrol, Barging Sergeant, and Hammer Dropper.
Not sure about Wojek bodyguard. He's been amazing in draft, one of the best commons, but that might be based on 5 mana doom blades and the ubiquity of Skyknight Legionnaire to enable attacks where they might not otherwise be possible.
