Kcin I actually was running Invisible Stalker or True-Name Nemesis with Ring of Evos Isle for a bit originally! Tho, like with AEtherling I found the combination a bit slower than I wanted. I do like the Trepanation Blade idea better than Ring of Evos Isle tho and it's def worth testing! Maybe with True-Name Nemesis?? Not sure what I would swap out for T-Blade tho... Without leaning more towards HARD Mill.

PS: I also realized I made mistakes so, if the deck looks a little different... You're not going crazy!

Thanks for checking out my list! I hadn't updated my decks in a few months so I'm just seeing this now. So I kind of cover why I run so much additional protection in my build in the primer, but the short answer is that my playgroup is very heavy on removal and they know the best way to shut this deck down is to keep Mairsil off the board. AEtherling just doesn't cut it as the only source of protection. It's not meant to be a cEDH build and I doubt it could hang with a cEDH table lol. It's definitely on par with the power level of my playgroup though.

I prefer Spikeshot Elder over Hateflayer because it doesn't require Mairsil to be tapped to activate it, which is helpful outside of the Tree of Perdition combo because I can shoot down planeswalkers and creatures with just the three mana. I did use to run Hateflayer though! I also have a few other untap effects that are cheaper to use mana-wise and allow me to combo off with Quicksilver Elemental and Prismatic Geoscope and the cards they're on also provide a lot of other value.

In terms of the Walking Ballista combo, I use him as a wincon in my elfball deck so I'm not interested in using him again in another deck, although it is a solid wincon!

I used to do a lot of jankier stuff with Mairsil (hence the giant Maybeboard lol) but my group goes super hard on him anymore so he's gotta be a little more cutthroat and bare bones if I want to win with him, which I do!

This looks fine - commander is a more casual format, so there is a lot less pressure on what you must play. I'd look at only spending money on commander staples and filling out the rest from magic history. You've got 25 spots or so left, and some bigger spells and mana rocks will fill most of that.

Sol Ring, Clockspinning, Mind Games and mana rocks is the only thing I look and think 'must include'- being able to clone rocks with Orvar and reuse spells makes them a lot more important in a format they already like. Capsize is a neat option, but here the 1 mana stuff that leaves it on the board is better, so its not essential.

The higher mana curve is important to remember - the expectation to pay 6+ mana creatures and spells means that there are a lot of sweet options - most of them budget.

Its all about what feels best to play with your playgroup. Not everyone likes abrupt mono blue 'I win the game' setups, but orvar lets you mess around with stuff like AEtherling in a far more casual way too. Use judgement.

Its important to remember that while a lot of clone effects revolve around creatures, Orvar can make The Mirari Conjecture or similar enchantments/artifacts/planswalkers/lands go pretty wild. This means if you want to do the silliest of combos, stuff like Arcane Melee,Cowardice or Dismiss into Dream lets you massively misuse a spells-and-permanents matter deck.

I think that Cavalier of Gales fits your theme better than AEtherling. It also costs one less.

I noticed that as soon as Fiery Emancipation was spoiled. A supercycle like this can take years to complete though, the Morphling -cycle ( AEtherling , Torchling , Brightling , Thornling , Endling ) took from Urza's Saga (1998) or Planar Chaos (2007), depending how you count, to Modern Horizons (2019) to complete. So it's a fun thing to look out for, but don't hold your breath for the next tripler enchantment '^^

What would you want the blue, white and black ones to triple?

Triple life is an easy, and slightly boring thing for white to triple, of course, triple cards (like a better Teferi's Ageless Insight ) makes sense for blue. I'm not sure what resource black would triple though, nothing obvious that black creates, better than the other colours.
