Great Useless Cards

So I was recently going back over my Mairsil list to find things to remove so that I could test some new cards. I realized that I've never used the Threshold ability on Cephalid Coliseum... It always seemed like a really solid inclusion in the deck. At least on paper. I would use the mana off of it a few times then dig deeper into my library for some more cards.
It has literally been one of the most useless good cards I have ever played.
I'm curious if you guys have cards like this. Ones that have good potential in your decks but just never end up getting used like they should. Or like in my case end up causing more harm than good.
I've had pretty much the same experience with all of the lands from that cycle in the original Innistrad block [and I've tried to get use of almost all of them]. Some seemed like they should be deece but for the most part are or were just lands that sometimes color hosed me and provided negligible value for me as they're usually way too expensive to activate.

I have some.
Soul of New Phyrexia in my Breya deck. Always forgot I could activate it from the yard and/or didn't have 5 mana up to use it.
Propaganda in my Jhoira of the Ghitu deck. As the only stax piece, wasted space for almost a year in the deck.
World Shaper in my Meren deck, as it often ramped by very little and too late in the game.

I used to run Alchemist's Refuge in some of my Green/Blue lists however 99.9% of the time just found it to be a colourless producing land and basically never used its flash ability.
