The only one I could think about add is the Stormscape Apprentice, and because esper has no cubable cards, all them are artifact-related (the only exception being Resounding Wave)

@Elvemage: Don't lose your head over whose Cube to pick as a guideline, any cube list you pick from the top-posting users in this forum will give you a nice drafting experience: they are all well balanced and pretty much updated.
I suggest just use the visual spoiler option in the cubetutor.com site and see what appeals more to you. Start from there and make the appropriate changes from there on.

Yesterday I drafted Calcite Snapper and was a little disapointed, seemed like its stats where underwhelming for the actual powerlevel of my cube. Anyone had the same experience?

Regarding the graveyard deck. Do you think Headless Skaab and Makeshift Mauler are good enough to give it a pump and to be chosen (in those decks) over other blue 3/4's?

To me the removal issue is more about redundancy than quality.
Too much removal is a problem, but even if you have GOOD removal, not having a lot of it can even things up, because you have to choose between a very good threat and a very good removal.
Supressing functional copies and strictly worse stuff really thins redundancy and allows to use a powerful pool that is not removal-heavy.

Anybody here tried Charm Peddler? It's like a bad Mother of Runes, it turns every card in your hand into a protection spell.
0-1 when played but 1-1 on every interaction afterwards. Also it targets your creature, not the source of the damage, so it would work against hexproof/shroud

Check out my cube, It doesn't have any functional reprints, and I am even moving towards removing strictly better/functional even between colors (for example I will remove Hand of Silumgar because Ambush Viper and Thornweald Archer exist).

The esper card I use is Resounding Wave, it's pretty versatile and in a heavy control deck you could use its 'kicker-cycle' version (haven't seen it so far, tough)

I run the five of them just for the sake of simmetry, and they are played, usually splashed to get the extra mile. The two more played ones are the golin tokenmaker and the lifelinker.

On the same line, I would replace one Cultivate for Harrow.
