Second place is very close between elspeth , stone forge mystic and wurmcoil.
Elspeth works really well with skull clamp, as well as a bunch of removal, a wrath and flyer defense. Think it has the most synergy with your current deck.
Stoneforge and equipment also work well with what you are doing. You already have a skull clamp, but there's a SOBAM in the pack (that wont wheel), and you already are a pack down for finding another good piece.
Wurmcoil is a super versatile (goes in many decks) card that is absurd against many archetypes. Probably the second best EARLY cube card in the pack. Doesn't work as well with what you are doing as the other cards
The kicker for stone-forge is out of all the strong cards for you in the pack, elspeth has the highest chance of wheeling and that would be super insane. Not really sure how the modo public sees elspeth tho. Im guessing its very unlikely to wheel but not impossible. If elspeth had 0% chance of wheeling, id pick it over SFM
Surprised no one considered Tinker given I had 2 artifacts and we could have moved into combo. But I did take Jace. I guess the above poster did have it 5th.
I'm also surprised at how highly people value Jace in the powered cube, but he is pretty amazing. There was a SOFAF in the next pack by the way, so I sorta was kicking myself a bit, but I guess you can never go wrong (or have too much fun) playing Jace.
