Here's my list of cards that feel interesting. I don't run DFCs so a lot of this set is a no-go for me, but it still has some cool things going on.
Sunder the Gateway is a sorcery-speed Disenchant with more upside than I've seen. Oracle of Tragedy could provide inevitability in a UB control type deck. Xerex Strobe-Knight is a wacky build-around I enjoy, stapled to a solid body Bladed Battle-Fan is a trick that leaves an equipment behind Scorn-Blade Berserker is weird but with a high floor and a lot of potential utility. Converter Beast makes me want to flicker flicker all day, 5/5s end games Halo Forager is an all-around great card
Garna actually seems like an include, assuming Redcap/Cackler aren't clogging your Rakdos section. She's worse than Bit Blast, but about on par with the other BR options, and certainly more interesting.
Garna, the Bloodflame and Whisper, Blood Liturgist both look interesting, if not instant includes. They also play well together and go in a similar deck, full of token-makers, sac outlets and death triggers.
Why are folks happy adding Cast Down, which is strong because of the general lack of legendary creatures in Peasant, when there was some reluctance around adding Iwamori of the Open Fist for the same reason?
I know I stayed away from Iwamori because it would unfairly benefit the people who know the cube well and know that it has essentially no drawback, and I generally don't like cards that don't do what they say they do. And yet I'm excited to run Cast Down. Trying to understand why people, myself included, view these cards differently.
The Flame of Keld feels like a trap. A trap that I would totally fall for, because it looks so fun to play in a game where I was already going to win that it's almost worth having a useless card when I need something relevant - and I can just blame luck! But I try not to put those kinds of cards in my cube for my players.

Abundant Harvest hasn't been printed at uncommon yet, right? So not up for consideration in peasant?
But none of them seem like definite includes. Will definitely need to look at what I would be cutting and make some tough evaluations.
Thank goodness I have a multiplayer cube that isn't rarity-restricted so I can enjoy all the goodies from this set.
