Out of all these options I almost like Boros Signet the best for the 5th slot. unless you prefer Slayer's Stronghold. RW doesn't usually appreciate mana rocks. but the RW decks that do REALLY love them.
Either way it's exactly the type of card black could use for cube. Your version is far more likely to see print. Plus the extra flying power is great as black could always use more reach.
Checks all the boxes for Lark, Alesha, Recruiter all while supporting nearly every deck type in black.
Absolutely. If all five are cubeable, which is very possible (since pushing Magic Origins is very expected), then black will gain a good amount of power by being able to use reanimate spells on walkers.
Her planeswalker minus is also really good with a lot of these creatures
Synergistic with:
Genesis, Lark, Alesha, Stronghold, Unearth, Recurring Nightmare, Squee, Goblin Nabob, Life from the Loam, Flickerwisp (to flip her from planeswalker to creature)
There is no question that Time Vault is a powerful card with anything that untaps it and with some cubes supporting Splinter Twin combo, can this nasty card squeeze its way in too?
Ways to untap Time Vault:
Deceiver Exarch
Pestermite
Zealous Conscripts
Teferi, Temporal Archmage
There are plenty of ways to use and abuse the three key creatures that untap Time Vault multiple times in a single game. I personally think this card isn't a long way from being cubable, remember to keep in mind Time Vault during spoiler season!
One of the great things about this card is the versatility. You can cast him on three or four depending on the rest of your curve. I think he's worth testing at any size assuming you're supporting black aggro.

Doesn't transform from wraths.

I'd want to play Strategic Planning over it as well, due to the uniqueness and light graveyard support

EDIT: And a nasty synergy with Purphoros, God of the Forge
