With mobile on its way and newbies who maybe looking for assistance, I thought it’d be good for the more experienced players (not me haha) to chime in for us to provide a compilation of staples for each faction.
Anyone knowledgeable and willing to contribute is appreciated. Any additions will likely be added and edited in to this post for ease of readers in the future.
Magmar

Vaath
Makantor Warbeast
Thumping Wave

You know what @seraphicreaper, I think I might just make another post with all staples in the original post, and edit them as more experienced players offer their opinions on factions I’m less practiced with.
Some Neutrals:
Draw: Spelljammer, L’kian, Sojourner, Blaze Hound
Heal: Healing Mystic, Azure Herald

Misc.: Bloodtear Alchemist, Cryptographer, Primus Fist, Primus Shieldmaster, Dioltas, Sunsteel Defender, Dancing Blades, Bonereaper
Tech: Crossbones, Blistering Skorn, Hollow Grovekeeper, Sunset Paragon
Vetruvian:
Staples (Good in every deck)
Scion’s First Wish
Aymara Healer
Falcius
Pax(Can be removed in non dervish decks, but those are the most viable lists so it’s pretty much used in every competitive vet deck.)
Nosh-Rak? (It’s in 80% of all Vet decks I’ve seen, but I have no idea whether that’s just them testing new things or it’s that good.)
Niche Staples:
Fireblaze Obelisk/ Ethereal Obelisk(Obelisk)
Whisper of the Sands(Obelisks)
Wildfire Ankh(Sajj)
Allomancer?(Obelisk)
Zephr(Sajj)
Autarch’s Gift? (Sajj)
Edit: Star’s Fury(Obelisk)
Star’s Fury? (Can’t mention Allomancer w/o Stars Fury)
Mayyyybe Dominate Will could get a mention?
If you want to be the one to prep up a staples page, I’d be more than glad to have you go at it 
Just thought we should provide something to assist new players (reminiscent of card crafting mistakes haha)
Absolutely, and I’ll link this page for sure. I just thought it might be good to take all of the comments below and compile them into one large reference page
That’s what I was considering. No need to link if we’ll provide the reference page elsewhere Thanks; figured it best to help those who come here who struggle in game, as we all have at some point or another
Yeah you’re right, Star’s Fury should be on the list, my bad. As for Dominate Will, I consider it a tech option. When the meta doesn’t run big minions Dominate Will is very lackluster.
How’s this list look?
