I cooled on satyr wayfinder after creating this thread and eventually cut him as more and more playable cards were released.
He was good in any deck that abused the graveyard, but mostly unplayable outside of that.
It made him too narrow without the upside to compensate for it.
In a GY centric cube he's certainly worth looking at.
After seeing how effective he's been in standard in whip/delve strategies, I decided to draft him in my recurring nightmare deck on the legacy cube.
I was extremly impressed.
Given how well he performed, I decided to put him in for a trial run in my cube.
He's performed at or above my expectations.
Highly recommend him as a delve/reanimator/lands enabler at the 450+ level.
There's a surprisingly high number of cards that get value from the graveyard in cube, making him generate considerable card advantage in the right deck.
Cards that work well with him:
Recurring nightmare, life from the loam, crucible of worlds, strip mine, lingering souls, deep analysis, treasure cruise, dig through time, tombstalker, murderous cut, regrowth/eternal witness, titania, Vengevine, Bloodghast, all reanimation spells (dread return and unburial rites are especially sweet!), chainer's edict
His body can provide card advantage with cards like skull clamp, birthing pod.
AND HE CAN CARRY A SWORD (hehe)
Don't underestimate the value of impulsing for a land either. Digging for your needed color or utility land certainly has value that offsets the time it whiffs.
