Reidane, God of the Worthy is especially good if your cube runs snow basics. My top 20 list did not account for since it's playgroup dependent. I personally don't like free snow basics in cube, so it's just not for me. If you do play snow, there are a lot of cool other cards that might be worthwhile.
Bloodsky Berserker and Clarion Spirit both played below average when I tested them. Double spell turns are not as automatic as I'd like them to be for cards that have such a bad floor on 0 2-spell turns and mediocre value on 1 2-spell turn. Neither were worth it until I had multiple double spell turns, and I just can't rely on that every game with any level of consistency. They were both honorable mentions for my top 20, but I thought other cards would make for more interesting discussion after their relatively poor performance(s) in testing.
It was on my short list of cards to discuss, but ultimately didn't crack its way into the article. It can be a solid card for storm, but it's not a card that really interests me for cube.
It's a solid card, but it's probably like my (6th?) favorite red 5cc creature, so there simply isn't room at all. I only play 1 card at that slot, and the competition is simply too stiff, IMHO.
