Redundancy isn't really a problem though when the effects are that strong. If you don't want X amount of control magic effects, that's a different convo, but redundant staples is a good thing IMO.
Either way, Shackles functions a bit differently than both Control Magic and Treachery, they aren't really the same. Shackles often plays out as a grind engine against certain decks, not 'steal your grave titan' even if that's a possibility.
Based on my cube. What are my best cuts? Sorry if this is a big ask, but I'm really struggling because I feel like the cuts I'm thinking about are still very strong...

Ancestral recall for ancestral vision seems like a logical swap/upgrade. Lots of people are swapping the old tezz for the new one (at least to test). I think repeal can be cut especially if you decide to keep into the roil. Could even look at cutting one of your 2cmc counters as you have 8 of them. And i think shelldock and the vivid can go for sure. good with blue lands between t-acadamy, academy ruins, and faerie conclave.
Which card do you guys prefer? Soltari Champion or Spear of Heliod? I imagine Champion would probably see more play in aggro decks given its easy 1 white casting cost.

Spear. Champion is yet another card that will die with the next mass removal spell. It also has zero defensive value, and I've found pumping blockers to be a big part of Spear's power.

This. It's Spear and it's not close. Has lots of value in token and Superfriends strategies.
The "Destroy target creature that dealt damage to you this turn." is great for this too.

Yeah I feel like in this day and age a spear that dies to bolt and doesn't work if not attacking isn't acceptable.
I'm assuming you mean addition/replacement, and I agree! (along with the rest)

So far I'm switching out Vivid Creek for Mox Sapphire, but I still need to find cuts for: Ancestral Recall, Time Walk, Timetwister, and probably Trinket Mage. This is on top of trying to find spots for Exclusion Mage and Tezzeret, Artifice Master...
The cards I've been considering cutting include: Repeal, Into the Roil, Ancestral Vision, Impulse, Treasure Cruise, Enclave Cryptologist, Deep Analysis, Shelldock Isle, and Thirst for Knowledge...

If you support artifact.dec, Antiquities. otherwise, Imprisoned.
Stormfront Pegasus
Field of Ruin
Vraska
Tombstalker > Belzenlok > Josu
Here's my cube! Give it a draft!

Need to slot in Massacre Wurm, for one of these (I assume the cut is Kokusho or Ink-Eyes)
Grave Titan
Ink-Eyes, Servant of Oni
Kokusho, the Evening Star
Silent Specter
Tasigur, the Golden Fang
Visara the Dreadful
Noxious Gearhulk
And I'd like to make room for Elvish Piper, but who drops to the bench?
Blastoderm
Master of the Wild Hunt
Mold Shambler
Oracle of Mul Daya
Polukranos, World Eater
Ripjaw Raptor
Thelonite Hermit
Thrun, the Last Troll
Vengevine
Wickerbough Elder
Finally (getting my money's worth here..) How do I fit Secure the Wastes into my white section?
Thanks in advance!
