This is probably marginal too, but I just realized that, in a way, Manifest puts tokens that stay on the graveyard when they die, so that is an aditional synergy with Delve and other graveyard-matters stuff.
Compare Butcher Ghoul with Sultai Emissary: the latter adds two cards to the graveyard when both bodies die, while the first only adds one (and none, when it dies for the first time).

Sewer Shambler, even not beign super exciting on itself, has a very low-cost Scavenge.
Wakedancer synergises not only for the token it generates, but because of morbid.
Mortis Dogs have played really well for me.
Viscera Dragger is like a big-brother butcher ghoul, more expensive but more versatile.
Undying Evil, sacrifice to make bigger (and re-trigger ETB).

Making 6 damage to the face for two mana is the best I could ask a blue card...
I used for a while cloudskate in my cube and it never seemed to me that the fading cared that much. Nowadays it's gone, but it could eventually return.

I run 6 card per two-color guild and 10 tri-color's in a 490 cube [included gold, hybrid and adc (ability of a different color)].
I run 2 dual lands per guild, 8 fetch/rainbow lands, and 5 ó 6 fixing artifacts, and that has been enough so far.
Check out Al' thread on ranking cards, if really useful.

I haven't played it yet, but the Abomination of Gudul seems good to me. 3/4 flying is not a bad body for pauper, and a surprise looting is good. Specially in sultai colors.
The Temur one I don't know, it's not too hot in a vacuum, but I think that with enough morph in the cube it can be tricky. Killing a blocker and passing damage through is nice in turn 5.

I played pancake draft with my girlfriend the other day, I played a Mardu Tokens deck with Ponyback Brigade, Beetleback Chief, Cloudshift and Raid Bombardment/Weapon Surge/Dynacharge. Yikes!
I didn't trust that much in ponyback, I undervalued the ability of putting 4 bodies with one card. Same goes to Beetleback.

It's not the way I want my Blue to go though, pingers are Red's thing.
This. I have Tim for nostalgia reasons only, and I think I will be cutting it anytime soon.
I'd prefer red/blue going tempo spells mather, but now again maybe spells mather isn't a very consistent archetype with the cards currently available. Red/blue control, yeah, but, does it need them?.

How many morph cards do you consider necessary for a cube to have in order to be reasonably deceptive, and to avoid granting too much advantage to those who know the list card-by-card?
Are there that many cards right now? I have disliked Morph for that reason, but maybe if the next sets give us more stuff, I could add them.

I have used Soul Reap in my cube from the begining. It's a great card, I don't use it as golgari because I prefer to limit clasification to color identities like in Commander. But it's a card that works against 80% of the creatures, maybe a little less because if you use black the chances of fighting green are a little higher than fighting black, but still a good chance.
Compare it to Searing Blaze. Soul Reap is more situational and less agro, but the effect is pretty similar if casted correctly and the cost is easier on you.
