I don't mean to be a dick, but yeah, that's probably why he's not better; especially given he existed in an environment with easy sacrificing in the first place.

For those of you running lots of fetchlands I would definitely give this card a try.
Also, as part of my recent 'cut all the aggro cards and replace them with gold cards' kick, I've been liking:
Hmmm...
I had Boom Bust a while back but... the fetchland interaction is cool and cute but that requires casting it a turn later for a discount on Stone Rain that you can't necessarily use. I'll give it a partial.
it was pretty good in a grixis tempo deck i played in my friend's pez cube
i won my friend's peasant cube

Yeah basically all this does is stop people from playing more magic. Either by being a way too easy way to shut out the game, or by dooming you as you blast a hero of bladehold and sob

Kessig Cagebreakers has always been a fun way to end a game over here.

I always had the feeling Cagebreakers costs one mana too much.

I did too, but then sometimes he makes like 4 bears....

I would have loved him as a 4 mana 2/2!
I'd call that a problem with your one drops.
I mean, if a 5 mana 3/4 that can shit out creatures like it's going out of fashion doesn't get there, your cube is blindingly fast, as games must be either effectively over before turn 5, or board states are like some kind of post-apocalyptic, thunderdome-style wastelands: two creatures enter, four more creatures spawn, one planeswalker does a thing, no-one leaves.
This of course is personal preference, so if that's what you want, more power to you.

We always had problems making psychatog playable. Nobody seems to want him: I think he lacks the flexibility compared to contemporary graveyard cards. That being said, I'm sure an enviornment that would want him could be enginered. He seems like he could do a decent job stalling the ground while acting as a discard outlet in some sort of U/B control deck that wants that.
If spinning darkness is going into the cube I think its going into, I think its a respectable choice, but that cube needs better ways to fill up the yard. Unless you have ample ways to reasonably fill up the yard with black cards (say consistantly by the mid-game), its going to take a lot of selling to convince me its playable, even in a fairly low-power enviornment. Otherwise, its basically a question of whether that cube is in the market for a free sorin's thirst circa turns 6-7.
I really like explore, but it never makes the final cut.

No.
Explore is a card I want in any and all of my non-aggressive green decks.
Spinning Darkness is too little too late by the time you can reliably activate it - it can't kill late game threats but is also bad against aggressive creatures.
