Some random support for Marionette Master I run:
+ loads of random cards like Pyrite Spellbomb, Executioner's Capsule, Chromatic Star, Scrapheap Scrounger, Tidehollow Sculler, Baubles, etc
I cut Expertise because I like Battle Screech more in my cube, and I didn't feel it was really necessary with the density of artifacts in my cube. Also look for ways to bump Marionette's power....Cranial Plating, Grafted Wargear...it can get out of hand quick.

I run every single card in there except Genesis Chamber (which seems a bit too easy to gum up the game with) and Scrap Trawler (Which I couldn't get to work).
I did settle on Sram's Expertise. I played several of the options and Sram's was just the most interesting one to me. It has now become a staple and sits in a good spot in the curve.

Thanks Onderzeeboot!
Here's a question for you guys: What do you guys recommend to support Wx midrange?

Thanks Onderzeeboot! Sadly, I was mostly looking for white cards. Sorry for the confusion.
Selenesya is actually my most stacked guild. I could run just so many cards in it.

That's a tough question to answer. Midrange by it's nature is like... very generic? So these cards do wonders supporting midrange.
because having decent generalized removal is strong in a midrange style deck.
I think white always has a strong connection to tokens, so I've really liked this beauty, who can easy play a middle of the road strategy.

I solved that problem by cutting the entire guild from my cube! Joke's on you, Selesnya! :')
I am betting you, on the other hand, have a difficult time keeping Grixis on as few cards as your four other ‘Shards’

You would think that, but I anticipated, and also cut Grixis from my cube! 200 IQ move, I know!

Well played
If you can't cast Cruel Ultimatum. what's even the point of playing Magic?
This is a fantastic sugestion. I already run her on my cube and she has been a huge success.I think white always has a strong connection to tokens, so I've really liked this beauty, who can easy play a middle of the road strategy.

Casting Wildfire with Ranging Raptors, Ripjaw Raptor and Stuffy Doll in play, and Ramunap Excavator in hand!
The true Riptide way.
Because that's (definitely) game.

FOR VALUE!
Duh
btw I really like Emeria Angel, but I cannot see it coexist with Murmuring Mystic, the latter one being not an offensive threat itself, but easier to support and is scaling better as you can only play one land per turn (I really hope this sentence makes sense lol). Personally, I see Lands.dec to be in RUG, not in W.
True
Emeria Angel is the definition of easy to support (play lands in your deck), and the 3/3 flying body is much better in an assertive role than the 1/5 groundwalker, while providing counterplay opportunities with the 3 toughness. With fetches and supporting cards like dryad of the ilysian grove, the Angel can stack up birds really quickly. I think both are perfectly playable alongside each other in the same cube (in the same UW fliers deck even).
And the white bird tokens are beautiful. I mean, come on:
I cut Talrand but have been very impressed with Emeria Angel. There are a bunch of advantages that I did not consider at first, but which make the card very reasonable:
1) A 3/3 Flying body is very reasonable. I was surprised to find it doesn't have too many rivals on the sky. Most cards are smaller or end-game threats.
2) It requires no support. Every midrange deck will keep playing lands, and I run 20 fetches.
3) It shines with anthem effects, durdly sacrifice payoffs like Stronghold Assassin and the like.
It's not a card that makes you go "wow, this is so good", but I'm liking it.
