Esperzoa
I've seen this card in Magic Duels and I was considering this for cube. It's a 4/3 flyer and in a powered cube, there will be plenty of mana artifacts that can be bounced for 0 or 1 mana, some even netting you mana if you bounce them (a tapped Grim Monolith for example)
Of course, it's not exactly what a blue player wants in his deck, or is it?
Your opinions please!
lI think Serendib Efreet is just better. It doesn't require you to bounce any artifact and has a fourth point of thoughness. Upkeep's lifeloss is certainly a downside, but it rarely matter when it's played in tempo decks. But yeah, in a powered cube in which artifact tempo would be a thing, why not.
Could be fun to get double duty out of moxen, artifacts like monolith that don't untap as a down-side, and perhaps any artifacts that have cip effects...how many are there?
You have to have a really strong artifact theme to support it, and if you do, it's pretty good. My cube doesn't have as strong esper/artifact theme needed to make good use of the guy.

Not a lot unless you're really going deep. Precursor Golem, Phyrexian Metamorph, Myr Battlesphere, and Shardless Agent have the best I can think of that get run in a typical cube, although I suppose you could also use Esperzoa to reset Pithing Needle, Phyrexian Revoker, or Tangle Wire. If your cube were going deep on artifacts, Faerie Mechanist, Sanctum Gargoyle, Peace Strider/Pierce Strider, and Sharuum the Hegemon look better with Esperzoa.
