If you support both artifact.dec and reanimation, I think Daretti is best.

Again I think LftL is the most important card of the bunch if you support it. I'm not sure there are room for it in 360 cards, so it could be a potential cut anyway.
I guarantee most people here bashing it haven't played more than 1-2 games with the card.
This. You have to play with the card to see how good it is. It's not one you can theorycraft the right conclusion with. I actually like outpost siege better than Purphoros, that's how good it plays.
And to Steve Man above... yes, Citadel Siege is the other playable siege. I run both but find outpost to be the better of the two.
I'd like Outpost Siege and would play it if it cost 1 less and only had the card drawing ability. I feel like its fair enough that they'll print it some day. Maybe not so soon after Outpost Siege, but when they do, I'll happily play it.
People complain about phyrexian arena being slow and siege is even slower in a color that doesn't really need it. It is also a 4 drop in a really competitive slot.
Definitely Wingmate Roc. And I think Baneslayer is one of those cards that can just never be replaced. How could you?
Haha I was just laying out all my white 5 drop creatures so I wasn't retaining too much information to get the best cut out of the 5. No way in hell was I expecting someone to say "cut Baneslayer".
I agree with Monkey's order and do run all but Wingmate Roc. I also ran Karmic Guide over Cloudgoat when my cube was smaller but that's because Karmic is a pet card of mine.
Parallax Wave is unique and great in many decks. I'd have a hard time ever cutting that for anything. Temporal Isolation is a solid piece of removal only. I run it. I like it, but if I had to choose there's no contest for me. I don't like Quarantine Field assuming that is the card you are asking about. It's too expensive.
I like Woodland Wanderer but I support a +1/+1 theme in green and I dislike random protection.
Baneslayer vs Reveilark depends a bit on your cube, but I think the next 3 rankings are all clear. I tested wingmate for a while over cloudgoat and was clear after a while that was mistake....
Wave is pretty close to being the best non-Planeswalker white card. That thing does so much work.
We're testing Wanderer tonight, but have had some success with Colossus. Ultimately I think the Wanderer is going to be the better of the two for that four mana investment.

Parallax Wave? I can't come close to agreeing with that. And I like Wave more than most.
Looking at your cube tutor list it seems you're not running the Wave right now? It's the same for me.
I never run the wave though, so I really don't know its power level. A friend of mine urge me to give it a try but there's none amongst the 6 LGS I go to.

Draft my cube! (630 cards)
The only one I love is Baneslayer, but all of these are very cubeable.

2- Chameleon Colossus vs Woodland Wanderer ?
