some of these are so tight they can be really cube dependent. in the long run its not going to really matter if you run anafenza or captain for example. the difference is so small it just depends what you like more.
I've had extremely good success with dack's duplicate, surprised more people don't run that one!
Cloning a big monster that just got cast, and getting to swing with it before your opponent can is a big deal.
I've had quite a few copied blightsteel colosi turn into a 1/1 haste dethrone indestructible infect after they were forced to block with their copy
Won many a race copying my own true name nemesis or flipped delver of secrets and slamming face.. nail on the coffin with 2 thundermaws etc.
I do have Dack's duplicate in my cube but i am looking to make one cut to izzet and thought i could do without one of these three since they are all similar in some way. Duplicate has been great so far though.
Based on my cube. What are my best cuts? Sorry if this is a big ask, but I'm really struggling because I feel like the cuts I'm thinking about are still very strong...
Ancestral recall for ancestral vision seems like a logical swap/upgrade. Lots of people are swapping the old tezz for the new one (at least to test). I think repeal can be cut especially if you decide to keep into the roil. Could even look at cutting one of your 2cmc counters as you have 8 of them. And i think shelldock and the vivid can go for sure. good with blue lands between t-acadamy, academy ruins, and faerie conclave.
i'd cut aetherling for sure. sphinx is just amazing and the plays and blow outs with gearhulk are so fun. if you play the gearhulk properly it will have no trouble finishing for control as well or better than aetherling.
Looking to add one of the following black twos. Seems like asylum visitor is the most popular looking at cube lists. if it is your main choice can you share some detail about how often it triggers, etc.
i dont think you need rabblemaster, najeela, and garrison though. nice to have some variety.
