That post was great. I know what Cody means by "move monkies". I definitely try to stay away from single moves that don't have any place to go.

I mean, sure, I know moves that I can switch in for others, but I learned them in context with another routine. Take the Ego Slip for example. I learned it through White or Wheat, but it became a utility move that I can switch in to other routines depending on how I feel.

Same here. And I definitely know what Cody is talking about because I went through a "move monkey" phase. I always praised myself for all the "cool moves" I knew, then I realized I knew to many.

Well, you CAN do hundreds of miracles with only
Classic Force, Overhand Shuffle Control and Double,
but you can do so much more with
Classic force, Overhand Shuffle Control, Double, Pass, Push Through Shuffle, Zarrow, Spread Cull, Angle Separation, Convincing Control etc...

There are hundreds of useful moves, but I do agree that if you are first collecting moves, then working with presentation, you are doing things in a wrong order. Get basics down, work on performing and theory, and THEN start collecting moves, but don't forget still reading theory, and performing occasionally (I don't mean throwing tricks to friends).

To the original question, I'm working with the Classic Pass, and Double Push Over. And with structural theory.

This is of course only my opinion.
