These are some sweet suggestions!
I've also remembered this one:
Looks sweet too.
I have been cubing Gargantua for a while. It has been very solid. It provides graveyars value for aggressive and midrange decks alike. The unearth is fairly costed and the 5 power was often relevant.

Weird Request:
White Artifacts (or Artifacts Matter Cards) that you would play in Zoo.

The double SFM is versatile enough that it can go in multiple decks (fast and slow). It has synergies with the Sentinel and various equipment you might be playing. I like Barbed Spike and the already mentioned Lion Sash and Maul of the Skyclaves as a White artifact package.

And someone correct me if I am wrong but I believe Stoneforge Mystic is like Demonic Tutor in the way that it scales with its environment and is somewhat fair always.
No it is not. Yes, it scales but no it is not fair. It is also a cheat card. Any expensive equipment with living weapon/for mirrodin/etb equip or cheap equip likes to be cheated into play. That is why batterskull together with the mystic was nasty.
The tutor and cheat is what makes it really strong and not scalable, unless you avoid expensive equipment.
Most cheat cards do not tutor for their targets for a reason.
SFM with swords of X and Y is a little too fair
SFM with batterskull / kaldra compleat is spice

i played UWx legacy stoneblade for years and feel like I can say a few authoritative things about stoneforge/batterskull together. even by the mid 2010's in legacy 'cheating out a batterskull' was not very good; you tutored for batterskull in matchups where the ability to 'gate' the equipment (and then return it to play with stack trickery) was about as important as the 4/4 lifelinker was. against creature decks I definitely preferred Jitte, to present an on-board lock, not for the 'skull to sit around vigilantly blocking and gaining life.
i won't lie to anyone that stoneforge mystic is an unplayable threat, that it isn't strong to tutor and uncounterably-put-into-play pieces of a toolbox, no matter what that toolbox is. stoneforge mystic that tutored for a sorcery and let you cast it for free would be breaking "too many rules" of the game engine. But I think that even if SFM is the strongest threat in your cube at that price point (two mana creature from whom you get more value if you can untap with it), and even if the uncounterability or tutoring are relevant and meaningful in your format, the card is so iconic, so toolbox-y, so fun to draft, that even with the uncounterable turn 3 Dragonwing Glider or Batterskull play available, the card is so repeatably fun and decision-rich to play with...that I agree with blacksmithy above: let it do the obviously kind of busted thing as well as all the not-so-obvious busted ways it still gets to flirt with the game engine (which Rusje points out).

some solid exile-top cards, plus manipulators and shufflers (which is a form of manipulation for when you just need "something else" on top)
I don't know if it's actually worth adding to your deck, but Noxious Revival.
This effect attached to a body would be kinda cool, as is I don't think it is cubeable (even in the pretty low power format I'm building).
Also, what about this sharpied to cost 1 or 2 less:

Considering if this is good for the deck:
It costs 2 and unlike Scry>1 effects it only lets you manipulate exactly the card at the top, meaning that you have to use it the same turn as a cascade card. So, you need 7 mana for dropping a extra 2/1 and improving your Noise Marine hit and at that point, is it really helping that much?
