The Building of Bolas's Big Bomb
Saga
If ~ would be put into a graveyard from anywhere, exile it instead
: Return a card from your graveyard to your hand
: Create 4 1/1 red goblin artificer creature tokens called "bomb mechanics" with haste and ": add "
: Exile all nonland nonplaneswalker permanents, graveyards and hands. If the game allows silver border cards, exile both players, and the game continues with Nicol Bolas playing both hands. All hail Bolas who's bomb has ridded the multiverse of these foul phyrexians.
Create another saga of another time in Bolas's life

I have not considered Mistveil Plains. A little graveyard-to-the-library recursion may be useful, particularly, as you mentioned, with Sunforger on our side of the battlefield. Maybe swapping this in for Needle Spires or Temple of Triumph is reasonable. Vandalblast's absence from the deck at this time can be explained by availability. When this deck was built, copies of Vandalblast were not plentiful. Now, after many instances of reprinting, it is much more feasible to include a copy of it here. As for Into the Core, I've always been a big fan of this card, and for the reasons you mentioned: Instant-speed artifact exile. Blightsteel Colossus is very, very popular in my playgroup, to the point of reconciling ways to answer it for when (not if) if hits the battlefield. Into the Core handles this problem well. Another card I love is Aria of Flame. I have championed this card since its debut in MH1. It is the second card I consider tutoring for after Aetherflux Reservoir. Its enchantment status gives it staying power on the battlefield, and if the Feather engine is revving optimally, then gifting our opponents with that extra life is never a problem. Give it a whirl!

Mistveil Plains - Or is it too slow given it's tapped and your low to the ground avg cmc and narrow for sunforger?
Why run Into the Core > Vandalblast? Is the instant speed and exile aspect more worthwhile than destroying every opposing artifact rather than 2 specific ones?
Aria of Flame - Interesting card, how has it played for you? While I understand the potential benefit, is it not a bit slow? Perhaps it's removal bait? Would love your feedback on it.

Looks fun! You're probably better off going with a more stomp-y strategy, as aggro has a tougher time in commander than 1v1 formats.
Maja, Bretagard Protector can be a reliable token maker and anthem.
Battle for Bretagard can also help you make a bunch of tokens.
Soul's Attendant if you want an extra Soul Warden
Basri Ket is also worth considering!

Just based on my own Bane deck, I'd recommend more creatures. You need a serious critical mass of them, because nothing feels worse than an opponent choosing for you to cheat in a creature and not having one. My own deck has something like 48-50, but you could likely get away with closer to 30-35

Also, there are options to make this deck cheaper! I built the deck without a budget in mind, and it can easily get down to $250ish for the maindeck. The new cards are really expensive at the moment, so I would definitely wait for prices to come down before buying any cards! I hope this helps, even though it's a bummer how expensive Urza's Saga is!

This Sultai Commander is such a banger.
I'm seeing a lot of fantastic options here already like Thada Adel, Acquisitor, Grazilaxx, Illithid Scholar & Old Gnawbone! Right on.
What directions have you considered as far as the continued development of the list is concerned? Slimming down into a reanimator strategy so that you can more heavily leverage the real bangers like Old Gnawbone & Ancient Silver Dragon will make the deck way more flexible and consistent imho. You don't need to jam all of the triggers, just the right ones. This approach will also allow you to make more room for the essentials: ramp, draw & tutors!

Rhadamanthus on Deflecting Palm + Spike Weaver
2 days ago
Your opponent gets to choose the result, so they will probably choose for you to take damage.
The official current text for Spike Weaver's last ability has been updated to say "Prevent all combat damage that would be dealt this turn" to make it clear that it's a damage prevention effect. If multiple replacement and/or prevention effects are trying to modify how an event affects a player or object, then the affected player or controller of the affected object decides which one to apply first. The unused replacement/prevention effects might still be able to apply to the modified event or they might not. Since your opponent is the one about to be dealt damage, they're the "affected player" in this example.

Chance at a full art foil for the deck is never something to be sniffed at ehh
Ramp. Sort of. I mean I like all the modes tbh.
The copying feels a bit redundant here but making treasures and getting protection from most forms of removal? Sure it will stop us from targeting it with our own protection spells but nothing short of a wipe will take Halvar off the field with it on.

I love this movie, and it has been resurfacing as a cult classic recently as far as I can tell. I can't even remember how many times I've brought up this movie with someone else and it just unearths a memory they have of this movie. Dean is a beloved character of mine, and it's rare to see a character like him in kids movies any more, especially done so well.
Someone can correct me, but it feels like there's a lot of "slimeball" antagonists in late 90s/early 00s movies, much more than before or after that generation. Thinking about Mansley brought that back to mind. Looking at Disney at the time, you had the emperor's advisor in Mulan, Clayton from Tarzan, Randall from Monster's Inc. DreamWorks had Tzekel-Kan in the Road to El Dorado and Prince Charming in Shrek 2. Just a feeling I get from the movies at the time, focusing on more underhanded villains instead of traditional Big Bads.

Well you seem to be lacking in flying defense. You could also use some recursion since your token production is only 8 cards I would personally drop the Arboreal Alliance since you are not producing that many tokens. And I know it is a way to use all the mana you can produce but you need some more reusable uses for the mana.
I spent most of this weekend testing your deck against some of mine which are also go wide strategies. And what I kept running into was that your ability to get damage through was struggling. I think you need to get some more sources of trample or bypassing defenders. Another problem I was having was you would be top decking to quickly.I felt it just kept running out of steam.
I personally would drop Arbor Elf for Argothian Elder. It may cost more mana but it would let you untap Nykthos without Yavimaya in play, drop Quirion Ranger for Seeker of Skybreak just a bit less hassle for untapping a creature. even though she gets an interesting trick when you have Ashaya out. I would also drop Woodland Bellower for the Skyshroud Poacher just because it is easier to reuse. Elvish Guidance can have its uses but I think Growing Rites of Itlimoc Flip is still a bit more useful, for your mana outlet I would absolutely keep Staff of Domination over Thousand-Year Elixir. I am surprised you dropped both Dwynen, Gilt-Leaf Daen and Jagged-Scar Archers since those were your only real answers to flying maybe consider Raking Canopy or Gravity Well to help against flying heavy decks. Mobilize and Vitalize are a little too weak for the card slots I think. I think a couple of more useful options would actually be Taunting Elf, Nemesis Mask, and/or Tempting Licid of those 3 taunting elf is weakest. But what those would allow you to do is get your pumped up elves through with minimal losses and minimal investment for the finishing blow.
I do have more thoughts if you want but as always feedback on what you are aiming for always helps (EG: Going tall, going wide, elf ball, kill through combat, or focusing on I win effects (I don't like I win effects))

MattMan1982 I'm gonna throw a bunch of ideas at you, some are better than others, just wanna see if anything interests you. I'm not gonna provide any creature suggestions yet. Yours are always solid and I want your thoughts on these cards first.
None of these are needed but definitely are helpful assuming you can fit them into the mana base
Bonders' Enclave - Draw
Cragcrown Pathway Flip/Spire Garden - Color Fixing
Blighted Woodland/Myriad Landscape - "Ramp"
Raging Ravine/Dread Statuary - Manlands. Nice to use with Greater Good or if you run out of creatures. The Dread Statuary is a personal favorite of mine for that reason
Rancor - Reuseable buff, trample enabler. I like using rancor on selvala and buff with commander for lots of mana should need be
Sylvan Library - Great to set up your draw and ensure you get your land drops. Given you only run 34 lands, that can potentially be an issue, especially given the relatively high avg cmc of the deck.
Skullclamp - Should you ever find yourself needing more draw, this can be an option. It's nice because if they want to use spot removal, they need to do so prior to combat, as you equip it. So if they do, you can pump a different creature and target that opponent.
Momentous Fall - Draw, used in response to removal to gain value. Beware of the blue player though
Return of the Wildspeaker > Garruk PW - Can be used in response to removal so you don't get 2 for 1ed. It's easier to cast and has an additional mode. While the PW has the option to make a token should you need a creature, I don't believe it's impactful enough
Berserk - Super fun! Politics, finisher, all for 1 mana. seriously underrated.
Green Sun's Zenith - Tutor
Decimate - 4 for 1. I see no way for you to deal with a maze of ith. Strip mine can be also used.

My cat Spektor is a master of redirecting damage, it's crazy to watch her basically professionally wrestle and always turn aside her brothers attacks. A card for her.

I have a Spike Weaver in play with an untapped land. I attack with a creature, my opponent has no blockers (or doesn't declare any). My opponent casts Deflecting Palm in response. In response to the Deflecting Palm, I activate the second ability of the Spike Weaver so that there's no damage that "would be dealt" to my opponent.
Does the Deflecting Palm do damage to me, or not?

I like the concept of the discard payoffs. They're a little expensive so there could be cheaper options in the slot. Goblin Welder isn't the best here in my opinion, though I see the vision with the graveyard interaction. Lazotep Chancellor is super cool, though not up to snuff with what we need I think. Goes against the normal win condition of the deck. Rielle the Everwise is honestly fantastic because if all goes well we're discarding anywhere from 7 to four cards in a turn. The maybeboard sorceries are great. Bag of Holding is a no if we're running reanimator effects. Feast of Sanity is wonderful because it gives us some lifegain against some of the paid life effects that may threaten the infinite nature of some of the combos. Mystic redaction doesn't really add much if we're drawing our deck out to win.

Hey man! As someone who's brewed this one alot, I'm telling you right now you need waaay more mana rocks. Literally like 10+ rocks, plus a few rituals. The fact that they also generate a token is incredible in practice. Here's a list of the ones I'd include on top of what you already have: Fellwar Stone, Talisman of Progress, Izzet Signet, Boros Signet, Azorius Signet, Springleaf Drum, Jeweled Amulet, Lotus Petal, Pyretic Ritual, Desperate Ritual, Seething Song & Battle Hymn.
Also just so you know, Mystical Tutor, Personal Tutor, Enlightened Tutor & Gamble are all super cheap right now due to recent reprints! Gotta get it while the getting is good, ya know?
A great combo here is Isochron Scepter + Dramatic Reversal, it generates infinite Spirit tokens on top of just being great individual utility pieces for the build outside of the combo!
Lots of great, cheap synergy pieces like Wild Research, Kindred Discovery, Opposition, Vicious Shadows, etc...
I'll stop rambling now, great Commander choice dude! Let me know how you feel about my mediocre suggestions lol.
