Similar to my "BG Cube Cards" thread here's one on UB cards. In the Cube I'm building, there are three gold cards of each color pairing. For UB, my original intention was to put Diabolic Visions, Dimir Cutpurse, and Doomsday Specter in the Cube. I cannot find my Diabolic Visions--no idea what happened to it. So, what do you suggest to replace it? I was thinking of Clutch of the Undercity or Dimir Infiltrator to add some transmute action to the Cube. Give me your opinions, please!
Well, I have Blizzard Specter (taking him out soon) Psychatog, Shadowmage infiltrator, Recoil. All of those are strong cards.
There are many others like the 2 you mentioned above. Clutch is great, except for its color costs. Infiltrator is nice as well, especially the transmute can be nice. If you have to choose between those, take the last one. If you can, grab the tog or the Finkel.

I wanted to include Shadowmage, but I thought he was too similar to the Cutpurse. I could add Shadowmage and take out the Cutpurse, I suppose. I don't think I have a Vault. Recoil is good, too. What about Undermine?
Shadowmage is far superior in Cube (and nearly all non-Vintage constructed for that matter) to Cutpurse. Evasion is everything. As for my UB slots, I do my best to have relatively aggressive cards for each possible color combination (except for BW, in which all the solid Gold cards favor more controlling archetypes). Thus, my list looks like so:
