Interesting thoughts. I liked the look of Kangee quite a lot for being a high floor relative to most of the others, not so parasitic. Will have to think about it, and decide if I want 1-2 slots for that in the multicolored section.
How quickly do folks usually pick up new stuff around here? Kangee, Sky Warden seems super solid to me, but currently well behind the other flying lords.
I hadn't really looked at Sanctifiers yet, but will keep it in mind as the rest of the cube comes together. Jailer looks like a lock imo, our group is coming from constructed pauper, so no real worry about the monarch. Calciderm, Guardian of the Guildpact and Master Splicer were others I was considering strongly. Oh, and the spells that generate tokens.
Commander in particular already looked questionable. Would you say Veteran/Crusader are playable? I was somewhat even on the first 4 you listed and listed the last two for completeness sakes, but am also trying to narrow down to 2 I think.
Only other cards I'm 100% pre-banning are Sol Ring and kinda Mana Drain (though that's half for budget reasons).
Mana Drain/Hymn to Tourach look kinda like bans to me.

I'm thinking:
Basri's Acolyte
Celestial Crusader
Goldnight Commander
Kongming, "Sleeping Dragon"
Relief Captain
Did I miss any notables? Would you put Rhox Veteran in a similar category? How do you feel in general about having that slot in a 360 cube?
