shinobi and new moon dont belong to it i think. that said, if you want to count other cards that benefit from free hits, there is also lifelink stuff and pumpcritter
-Boots of Speed: i might consider a split between the creature and the boots. the +1+0 kinda justifies the manacost, but also makes it slower.
-Circle of the Moon Druid: a 2/4 for 3 is already what im looking for. This is not an aggrocard, but can become one as soon as you get to attack. sure slot for me.
-Minimus Containment: Im not looking for another cmc3 removal. Certainly not one that ramps and fixes my opp into even bigger threats.
-Owlbear: the better version of the ape. safe add no2.
-Priest of Ancient Lore: I wont run it, as it doesnt help my whites aggroplan very much. Time is money and I dont need the value.
-Soulknife Spy: its more Thieving Otter than Stealer of Secrets, but the otter can draw with ping equips. I also wonder at what point the opponent dies before the card advantage adds up. Unless it gets evasion its a very borderline card.
-Thieves' Tools: cant be blocked is a very powerful mechanic, but nothing im looking for on a black artifact right now.
i dont think the average cube wants 2 (3) of that effect, unless you want to abuse ETB or LTB trigger. then it depends on the target. on small stuff stamina works better and it also pushes dmg better. on lategame stuff the counter might be useful or enable +1+1 synergies
red giant not only has the same problem as all highend red, as it doesnt fit reds strategy of early threats into burn,
it also introduces rng for a mediocre effect. meh. if you want to gamble go with Boarding Party which is the definitive curvetopper imo
the problem with those effects is that we have unearth which is the goldstandard and works at any time.
the upside of stamina vs death, its more likely to trade.
Rimeshield Frost Giant the new hexproof seems reasonably good for the mana cost.
Veteran Dungeoneer a 3/4 scry1 for 4 is quite solid
,
Air-Cult Elementalim not sure you can have too many bouncecritter if you want to be cheesy
Celestial Unicorn finally a payoff for common lifegain decks. obv wed rather have Ajani's Pridemate
Dawnbringer Cleric any mode is usable
Conclave Naturalists< Owlbear
Rambunctious Mutt < Dawnbringer Cleric
Trufflesnout < Circle of the Moon Druid
i dont know if overloading on the effect is competitive. without getting deep into it I only run
payoffs
enabler

the red rager is more or less Azra Bladeseeker
Druid of the Moon Circle
2G
Creature - Human Elf Druid
Bear Form - During your turn, Druid of the Moon Circle is a Bear with basic power and toughness 4/2 (it loses all other creature types).
2/4
compare to Falkenrath Noble or Gray Merchant of Asphodel
im not saying the guy is unplayable but its certauinly tough to justify a slot.
the 3/1 is another piece in the UW artifact archetype
which makes some cards that venture for free interesting, as they at least scry1
i fail to see what the mace does though. its just a worse Vulshok Morningstar
but there is tons of dungeon stuff, maybe thats something.
