Sorrow's Path
Land
: Choose two target blocking creatures an opponent controls. If each of those creatures could block all creatures that the other is blocking, remove both of them from combat. Each one then blocks all creatures the other was blocking.
Whenever Sorrow's Path becomes tapped, it deals 2 damage to you and each creature you control.

Wood Elemental and Sorrow's Path are on pretty much every list of "worst M:tG cards ever". Anything you do with them is going to be gimmicky and flex-y at best, and self-defeating at (the much more likely) worst.
Allure of the Unknown has a proud place in my Rakdos group hug deck.
Prophecy and Goblin Sappers are overcosted/underproductive and have better options. There's nothing really strictly better, but if you're paying to make a creature unblockable for a turn and then lose it, you had better be winning the game right there--do you want to sacrifice it for some reason? If so, is there a better sac outlet? The delayed draw is generally going to be the best part of Propechy. Sideboard if you're playing in a scry- or top-deck-tutor-heavy meta and want some style points.
Winter Sky is unreliable and doesn't offer enough to build around. 1 damage to everything is fine for , and cheap drawing is good, but the player symmetry and randomness reduce its utility.
Asmodeus the Archfiend and The Toymaker's Trap are more fun than powerful, but they're still solid. They can be good build-around support for casual decks. I would say these are the best options if you want to put your brewing hat on.
This doesn't mean that these cards can't or shouldn't be used--if they look fun to you, go for it! But it's going to be hard to optimize most of them because they have a lot of hoops to jump through or just don't do anything worth doing.

Does anybody have any uses for the following cards? Perferably the deck is centered around that card. The cards I’m looking for ideas on are:
If you have any other cards, post them here.

Sai's masterpiece
Legendary artifact
you may look at the top 2 cards of your library
You may cast artifact cards with converted mana cost 3 or less from the top two cards of your deck
discard a card: mill 2 cards
"the Consulate of Kaladesh had taken Sai from his home, from his family, from his pet thopters to become the grand thopter smith of the omnipresent Consulate. He crafted the machine to see the future. It was his last ever work"
Super Island
Land - island island
: add
"that's alot of water"-a man who had never seen water in his life before
I got battered by a table with sai who got out an early Mystic Forge and because Sai, Master Thopterist doesn't look threatening nobody attacked them much.
also the super island would definitely improve the deck
next challenge:
create an old style rubbish card. not like a 1/1 for 3 in early magic a couple of cards were printed that might've looked okay from a distance but in practice just aren't good at all and are phenominally bad. some inspiration Wood Elemental Kaervek's Spite Sorrow's Path Aisling Leprechaun Thelonite Monk

My input for your first tier is One with Nothing. Historically, many players tried to find a use for this card but nothing really significant came out of it.
For your worst of the worst I nominate Wood Elemental and Sorrow's Path. Seriously, I think even the most casual of players wouldn't dare touch these cards.

I always find that monored EDH decks tend to have an issue getting enough cards in hand. I could see that being an issue here, especially with the "free" play abilities you have in! Some things that could help are cards like
Fire Prophecy
,
Stolen Strategy
,
Faithless Looting
,
Jeska's Will
,
Cavalier of Flame
,
Mask of Memory
, Neheb, Dreadhoard Champion, and
Valakut Exploration
.
Some non-creature cards that might have good synergy for the deck are
Commander's Plate
,
Skullclamp
,
Whispersilk Cloak
,
Worldslayer
,
Embercleave
,
Mirage Mirror
,
Aggravated Assault
,
Gratuitous Violence
,
Chaosphere
, and
Sorrow's Path
.
Some other creatures that could help are
Breaker of Armies
,
Void Winnower
,
Marton Stromgald
,
Urabrask the Hidden
,
Legion Loyalist
,
Hellkite Charger
,
Flamerush Rider
,
Torbran, Thane of Red Fell
,
Soulbright Flamekin
, and
Siege Dragon
. Also, any eldrazi if you wanna be that mean, especially the original set with annihilator.
The sacrifice clause on Purphoros can also have some fun opportunity, especially with cards like
Blood Aspirant
,
Mycosynth Wellspring
, and
Ancient Stone Idol
.
Oh! And if you do end up with that many mountains,
Jaws of Stone
,
Landslide
,
Spawn of Thraxes
, and
Spire Barrage
, could all be ridiculously powerful late-game!
Happy building!!!

Love the deck, I had a harmless offering/donate deck a while back based around donating Sorrow's Path and then tapping it over and over using Hidden Strings on a Delver.

No, that doesn't work. If a spell or ability has targets, you have to be able to choose enough legal targets for it in order to cast/activate it at all. If you can't choose two blocking creatures an opponent controls to target then you can't activate Sorrow's Path's first ability. You'll have to find some other way to tap it.

Can I tap Sorrow's Path knowing the first ability has no targets and will fizzle?
