I agree with much of what you stated above … great choices.
-Storm the vau… er, I mean Urza - Seriously, this card is no joke. Killing Urza alone does not solve the mana conversion problem and a support removal that can target lands is also needed in one's build or if using Vraska 1. Storm the Vault almost pales by comparison... almost. lol I can't wait to get my dirty paws on this one.
-Death Bridge- An easy way to meet X creatures cast objective and paired with Killer instinct allows for a faster match.
- Yarok - doubling enter the battlefield effects in many cases can tip the match heavily in your favor.
-God-Eternal Rhonas- In my opinion this is easily one of the most OP cards in the game next to Gaia's Over-sized Owl Pellet of Revenge.
-Chord of Calling- This card can bring out some fairly powerful creatures if needed.
-Quasiduplicate- Stupid cheap way to cheat out expensive creatures and now that Oktagon raised the bar on some costs for many creatures in standard, this card will hold more weight in deck building.
-Faerie Formation- I know that this is an exclusive at the moment but hear me out ... this card rocks! Present meta has ways to convert blue very effectively and even more so with Storm the Urza which will pop a fair number of activation gems every turn. One note that I caught when using this. If you pop the activation gems (always blue) the next turn will see up to X more activation gems appear and they are converted to blue if blue gems on the board are less than 5; X being the number of activation gems that popped the prior turn, so technically we have additional blue conversion. With 5 activation gems every turn, that is a fair number of opportunities to bring out faerie tokens. plus a 6/5 flying creature for 14 mana on top of all that is a great buy. That and S3 can fetch him. (didn't mean to over sell this but seeing that it is an exclusive and having played with it I felt the forum deserved some feed back on my experience using it).
-Chulane teller of tales- again another exclusive but danged if this guy won't go away. Barring exile, he bounces back to your hand with 8 mana when killed. He bounces any creature back to your hand this way... Killer instinct included.
There's more but the great posts above covered many of them.
