I'm looking for a fun blue control finisher at a low power level. It should have some form inevitability without being too good. More concrete, it should be compareable in power level with:
It doesn't matter how it wins or if it's a creature or not
PS. Found somerhing, I'm going to test Striped Riverwinder!

I am trying to cut on generic value Planeswalkers and I am looking to replace
I really like the guy, but the +1 protection gets old on walkers. I do miss the fact that he fit well in the artifact deck and was generally good elsewhere.
I was thinking of the Mirari Conjecture, but then remembered my group wasn't a fan. The Antiquities War seems good, but much more narrow. I also thought about Thopter Spy Network, but having a 4 mana do nothing the turn it comes into play is rough.
Do you have a favorite high(ish) power level engine in blue? Oh, and I support artifacts, GY (self-mill and spells), blink and tempo in blue.
Thanks!

Primordial Mist might be up your alley? Doesn't tie into your themes other than Blink but it's a unique effect in blue

I’d like to have a cycle or 2 of these easy to use 3-color cards in my cube. Have any new ones released since the Alara and Tarkir blocks?

I don't think so, no. You can check Scryfall by doing this search (and changing it for other color combinations): https://scryfall.com/search?q=ci=rgw+(c<rgw+or+is:hybrid)+c>0&unique=cards&as=grid&order=namei am looking for wedge and shard cards that have a similar mana requirement to

It includes a few other results, but it comes pretty close, and the result set is small enough that you can check them by hand.
I feel I'm close to completing my cube but I'm one white and one black card short. Any random suggestions? I'm all ears.

Just...Literally any white card/black card?

Fuck it:
If your already running flickerwisp, I'd consider running 2.

Random suggestions for one white and one black card? I can do that!
There, 10 random suggestions!

The Shrines are a large, format-defining package, but they encourage running many colors, and the new green one would form a strong backbone for that:
Would have added Dryad and Suns' if I'd not been beat to it.
Green creature tutors kind of reward more colors because they'll have more targets. Similarly, Booster Tutor gets better as the pack is more usable.
Very jealous if you pull off the shrines.
I've been very impressed with Faeburrow Elder, at its worst a two color knotvine mystic with vigilance is still pretty good. It does beg for removal, but I think its more interesting than woodland wanderer.
I'm looking for a 5 mana black wrath or just suggestions of black sweepers in general that are not Damnation.
I’ve run languish for the longest time. I feel like it echoes wildfire in a pleasing way, and fits perfectly with the 5-toughness delve creatures. -4/-4 kills 85% of the creatures in my cube.
I’m thinking about testing this guy:
-3/-3 is a little easier to build a midrange deck around in my cube. Having the effect on a body has obvious benefits.

Looking for some good white spot removal that isn’t Swords to Plowshares or Path to Exile. I run Banishing Light already but i’d like some instants (or really good sorceries if those exist).
Right now i’m looking at Condemn and Reprisal, but they don’t do anything thematically for my cube. Would like something with a little more of a theme built in.

Winds of Abandon can be an unintended "oops, I win" button. It being one-sided is a real backbreaker.
i do have cast out, big fan of it.
any thoughts on these?

(Mine's an instant and 1W, but I love the play it has)

I really like Unexpectedly Absent - scales responsibly, more flexible than yet another 3-mana sorcery speed Oblivion Ring variant, can put your own stuff back on top to save it from removal
Maybe combat tricks as semi removal? E.g. Guided strike or Miraculous recovery or the weird Kor Chant.
