Highly recommend Irontread Crusher. It's not very flashy but it's perfectly costed and supports midrange decks quite well. Aradara Express too can be extremely powerful
My issue with signets: they can realistically offer better ramp/fixing than Green itself. This undermines some archetypes. Usually, Gruul and Simic end up struggling to find an identity because of this issue. The solution I used for my cube is not a popular one: using mana rocks that are strictly worse than the green ramp/fixing. This section looks really spicy, I'm taking a lot of ideas from this vid. Awesome!
I agree. Strong colorless ramp does take away from green's strengths and 5 color green is a fun archetype to include as a fallback and signets will always be better.
Renegade Map is a card I have a soft spot for. Your cube doesn't really care about artifacts or revolt, so the upside is pretty minimal, but it's not bad fixing. Also, Perilous Myr is a bomb.
Look how far we made it, look how far we come my 'life begins at twenty' they said, we would never make it, look how far your cube has come! Cube is still the best!
Why the use of Morph cards? I find that they are unfair unless a large number is included. If one or two morph cards are played in the cube then as the designer you know the cards these are probably going to be when they're played face down. Just my two cents on why I don't run them. Great information man, loving this series!
Thanks for the comment.I was testing out Ainok Survivalist to see if it performed well enough, which so far it's falling below par so will be coming out. As for Gathan Raiders, I see this more as 5/5 for 3 mana and a discarded card as a curve topper, which to be honest has worked fairly well so far in games. It certainly tends to get instantly flipped. It may get to the point where I replace this one too to remove morph completely from the cube though as I'm always looking for new options.
Tumble Magnet is another card I would suggest that can temporarily get rid of problematic blockers or stave off a few attacks. Darksteel Axe has been downshifted to common and should be run in every Pauper cube in my opinion. If you are running vehicles, I would also include Sky Skiff. Cheap fliers are always great and a crew cost of 1 is manageable. Pligrim's Eye is an option for fixing, especially if you eschew the signets.

Scion of Ugin is pauper legal now, a really nifty addition if you consider it.
