I like Wall of Omens much more than both of those cards. If you're looking for an aggressive white 2-drop, I like Glory-bound Initiate more than those other 2 cards, too, but I still like Wall of Omens more than Glory-bound Initiate, too.
edit: just looked at your blog section on cubetutor, and see you're adding the Kiki-Jiki package. I definitely like keeping Wall of Omens in that case.
edit 2: Wall of Omens to support Kiki-Jiki. I suppose Imposing Sovereign instead if you want to add a hate card for Kiki-Jiki, though I was always unimpressed with Imposing Sovereign in general.
If you had to pick three Swords to run, which ones would it be? I'm assuming Fire/Ice and Feast/Famine are the best two, but not sure whether Light/Shadow or Body/Mind are next.

Body/Mind >>>> Light/Shadow. Not really close.
I think Queller, Geist and Reflector Mage are all about the same. That's a tough one.
Agree Sundering Titan > Ancient Stone Idol
Agree Dack >>> Saheeli the Gifted >>> Ral Zarek > Saheeli Rai
Well based on my own cube I'd say Tangle Wire, Thran Dynamo, and Mimic Vat. Wire and Vat are both fun and powerful build around artifacts. Dynamo is just a good mana rock. Smokestack is a little slow anymore and stax isn't, imo, a good archetype anymore, particularly in unpowered. The swords are all dumb and this one mills for 1/4 the deck and ensures you have more creatures to carry it. Against a simic deck or even a half blue or half green deck it becomes incredibly unfun as do all the swords when facing one of their protection colors. Metalworker requires a very specific and niche deck to be impactful. Think its very hard to draft this late.
That selection of artifacts is hard. I'd play Smokestack for sure, and probably the Sword. Mimic Vat would the last of my 3 I think. But I'd be loathe to cut any of those cards from my cube. That's tough.

I think Fire and Ice is tier 1.
I think Light and Shadow + Body and Mind are tier 2.
I think Feast and Famine + War & Peace are tier 3.
anyone want to give me some ideas. Looking to add Karn, Scion of Urza, Thinking the cut will be Mimic vat? Which is sad, because I really like mimic vat.

Surprised people are recommending cutting Lodestone Golem, I think that card is great in artifact deck, Stax/denial and T4 aggro topper delaying wraths etc.
# of tinker targets depends on what other decks you are supporting, and what targets you are talking about / will other decks also use these targets, or will they mostly wheel around to the tinker player.
I recently conclude that my multicolor section was too high for my Cube (5 cards + 3 lands per guild at 360) so I have to cut 1 card per guild, and I hoped that you guys could give me some advice.
My Cube is an Unpowered 360 with some bans, due to high power or unfun games.

I guess Wall of Omens is good for the more controlling archetypes and for blink value, but I don't see my playgroup drafting it often.

I'd want to keep all those artifacts, but my top three would Sword, Smokestack, Vat. I can't imagine cutting Tangle Wire, though.

Cut Basalt Monolith or Metalworker.

Another one: Grafted Wargear vs. Bonesplitter
For some reason I like Grafted Wargear more, but I gather than may be an unpopular opinion.

How would you rate the Tinker targets in playability, and how many would you run at 360?
# of tinker targets depends on what other decks you are supporting, and what targets you are talking about / will other decks also use these targets, or will they mostly wheel around to the tinker player.
http://www.cubetutor.com/cubeblog/63569
Tinker targets in my 360 are Myr Battlesphere, Sundering Titan, Blightsteel Colossus, and Inkwell Leviathan -- ranked in that order.
