Reveal the top seven cards of your library. Choose from among them a card with flying, a card with first strike, and so on for double strike, deathtouch, haste, hexproof, indestructible, lifelink, menace, reach, trample, and vigilance. Put one of the chosen cards onto the battlefield, the other chosen cards into your hand, and the rest into your graveyard.

I think we go deeper on the green fatty cheating support than a lot of Cubes, but we’re definitely going to run this in our 720. You can hit all Eldrazi, Worldspine Wurm, Blightsteel Colossus, and Griselbrand. More Castable hits include Primeval Titan, Hornet Queen, Dragonlord Atarka, Woodfall Primus, and many more, which means you can reasonably hit a large target to put into play and another target to play on the following turn. Notable misses include Progenitus, Terastodon, Avenger of Zendikar, and Myr Battleshphere.
Note: I couldn’t figure out how to add the card image on my mobile device.
The number of times this will be better than Selvala's Stampede seems pretty low, and I don't rate the Stampede as a must-have card even at 720. It might not even be as good as See the Unwritten, which digs one card deeper and can cheat out any creature regardless of keyword, with the possibility of hitting a second one as well if you have ferocious. The feel-bad factor of completely whiffing, combined with the six mana cost, makes this an easy pass for me. But I can see cube constructions where it would be more reliable and a lot of fun.

That's fair - like you said, this is probably worse than Selvala's Stampede.
I think it's similar to Summoning Trap which we currently run. The decks that use these types of cards are G, RG, UG, or RUG fatty cheating / ramp hybrid decks - often cards like Channel, Eureka, Show and Tell, and Sneak Attack plus Eldrazi and green fatties.
