Consulate Surveillance
Enchantment
When Consulate Surveillance enters the battlefield, you get (four energy counters).
Pay : Prevent all damage that would be dealt to you this turn by a source of your choice.

Nice deck! I'm guessing you got it from Nillstan? He helped me with my energy deck. I suggest putting in Astral Cornucopia . Just cast it for x=1 or 2 and proliferate every turn. Magistrate's Scepter , Call for Unity , and Consulate Surveillance are fun inclusions. Decoction Module pairs nicely with Fabrication Module . The vivid lands are nice..sure they come in tapped but with proliferation they tap for any color all the time.
It's nice to see another energy deck out there. I've never seen another one at any of my LGSs and I always get compliments on it (thanks Nillstan). Energy is a blast to play with in commander and people underestimate it. I hope you have as much fun with it as I do.

Sweet! There's maybe an argument to be made for Tocatli Honor Guard, but I can see how maybe it's not so great. If there was more energy too, I'd recommend something like Consulate Surveillance :)

jon.grimes893: Last time I played Turbo Fog was back when Otherworld Atlas and Rites of Flourishing were in Standard haha
I wanted to play that Fog again, but it looked like the cards I needed weren't available so I tried to see if something else was viable. I really wanted to try an energy-based Fog deck with Consulate Surveillance because that card is amazing at preventing damage, but I never got around to it.
I agree, I do feel like the red could be something else. But it was hard for me to go any other color without eventually just going traditional Bant, so I tried to stay away from them. I have tested Bontu's Last Reckoning with friends, but it was in a completely different shell. It would either save me or cause me to lose the game, horribly, but luckily it was the former most of the time.
If I were to go white, I'd probably end up replacing it with Settle the Wreckage. Torment of Hailfire would be really cool, but you're right that I don't have enough ramp to justify it (yet).

My experience with Fog in standard fell around the time Zendikar was still in standard. I was playing the bant energy package (with Marvel) so Consulate Surveillance was a staple in my deck, both for fog effects and ramping the energy to spin Aetherworks Marvel.
I feel Red won't do too much in your deck. Sure you'll occasionally snag something (for one turn) with Hijack and Cut//Ribbons is a semi-viable win condition. But you'd want 4 Cut//Ribbons along with ramp potential. Without a reliable sac outlet like Yahenni, Undying Partisan or Makeshift Munitions, Hijack is more of a tool for aggro decks, to provide extra damage and remove a blocker for a turn. Hour of Devastation is great in a fog deck like this, but it is still fairly clunky.
Bontu's Last Reckoning may cost you 3 mana the turn you cast it, but its a 6+ mana investment over 2 turns. Have you played with the card before? I highly highly recommend testing it with friends before taking it to FNM. I learned this the hard way.
I recommend looking into ramp elements and using Ribbons and/or Torment of Hailfire

Playing White would allow you access to other fog-like effect in the form of Gideon of the Trials and Consulate Surveillance. You don't have the Energy to sustain Surveillance so that is out of the question. Gideon provides a useful +1 in the form of a single target fog effect as well as an emblem that prevents you from losing the game as long as you control a Gideon. Playing white would also allow you to play Adanto Vanguard which can serve as a Life sink if you want to flip Arguel preemptively
I think the biggest problem you deck will have is getting to the relevant Fog effects. I recommend cutting the Bontu Reckonings and adding some sort of draw effects.

Only problem with Hour of Revelation, Hyperalgialysis, is it would eat up his own control enchantments: Cast Out / Gideon's Intervention.
I considered a deck like this build on the back of Consulate Surveillance. Dynavolt Tower, and cheap spells to keep it fueled. (I don't have Gids).
Regardless, +1 from me.

Thanks. I truly love playing this deck. By far the next two sets will be amazing for my deck, but will call into question the focus. Right now, energy is extremely valuable, but as better alternatives to Consulate Surveillance and Dynavolt Tower appear, I may need to shift the goals of the deck. I'm in the midst of testing, since this list is my masterpiece that I'd love to refine, so stay tuned for updates soon.
Also, even with the next rotation, the deck will survive thanks to the printing of more fog effects.
