Call me crazy, but in your cube, I think I would consider cutting Dack to test royal scions. They both offer a draw ability, but dack's ability is really hit and miss in an unpowered cube, where as the Scions pumping your creatures is a lot less dependent on your opponents deck
Even if unpowered, Dack is still crazy in a cube with a good amount of 2-cmc mana rocks, like the Talisman / Signet cycle. Dack is still an absolute all-star in high powered unpowered environments.
I like Krasis and Coatl more. Oko is a better card, but the other two are better for specific shells that Simic contributes to, whereas Oko is just a generic goodstuff card.
I'm looking for another instant speed creature removal spell in white. I'm running Swords to Plowshares, Path to Exile and Unexpectedly Absent. Is my next best option Cast Out? Things like Condemn don't work for what I'm looking for due to the timing restriction and things like Giant Killer don't fit due to targeting restriction.

Cast Out played well here, don't see it getting cut anytime soon.

How do people feel that Wickerbough Elder stacks up today? I'm trying to find room for Questing Beast in my 540 power cube and I think I have to cut either that card or Nightpack Ambusher

Abbot of Keral Keep vs. Dismissive Pyromancer vs. Earthshaker Khenra?
I'm adding Embereth Shieldbreaker and Bonecrusher Giant. My other cut is going to be Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker.
Thanks!
Cheers,

Coatl has 3 for 1 potential, but even so I still think it brings less to the table than either of the others.
Not sure how Coatl has 3 for 1 potential unless you are envisioning that it lives somehow.
- Garruk Wildspeaker
- Garruk Relentless
- Nissa, Voice of Zendikar
- Nissa, Worldwaker

2.Garruk Wildspeaker
3.Wrenn and Six
4.
Edit: #4 seems like a huge drop off from the top 3 so choose your own adventure.
I like Nissa, Who Shakes the World, Garruk Wildspeaker, and Garruk Relentless, but I can't decide on #4.
How has Oko, Thief of Crowns compared to Nissa, Steward of Elements for you (and everyone else?)

They're such completely different cards that its a tough comparison
Cast Out played well here, don't see it getting cut anytime soon.
