Pristine Talisman is also pretty good. If you're looking for something a little more out there, check out leonin bola and viridian longbow; not for every cube, but they do good work in some cubes and some decks.
I still steadfastly refuse to believe that this card is good enough. The benefits that it provides are so marginal and this format is too highly powered for a card that has minimal impact on the game like this one, in my humble opinion of course.

I felt the same way about Lifestaff for a long time but then I tried it. It breaks aggro mirrors wide open (OP has aggressive elements in all 5 colors). Also, if you manage to live the dream and get staff+Mortarpod (which I highly recommend) your opponent's margins for victory become incredible narrow.
Lurebound Scarecrow and Bubbling Cauldron are the other two I'd throw in with the previously mentioned options.
6 life + some combat implications is no small feat, and if you're getting into the long game lifestaff starts adding double digit life faster than you expect in a deck with smaller guys.
Lifestaff is definitely good enough. The low equip cost adds a lot of flexibility. Strap it your flyer for an extra point of damage and then back onto a chump blocker to trade up and net some life. It doesn't go in all decks but it does very well in token and sac strategies. I'd run it if my Cube was larger.

I'd like to have a few more colourless cards in my cube. What are some good one's I'm missing?
