Except Stoneforge would be a more expensive and worse Cranial Plating. And Steelshaper's Gifts just sucks.

No offense, but if you say you've begun playtesting Affinity, you should probably just stick to practicing Affinity before you think about reinventing the deck. Affinity is a hard deck to play, and if you don't understand how the deck works, then it's very easy to incorrectly evaluate the deck's components, such as in your case, Thoughtcast.
