SB recs: 4x Hydroblast, 3x Relic of Progenitus, 3x Echoing Truth, 3x Annul or Steel Sabotage, 2x Dispel. Maybe find a spot for Sylvok Lifestaff

Mainboard recs: Rush of Ice, Containment Membrane, sub Ponder for Preordain (or, use fetches/shuffle effects to maximize Ponder)

Either board possibility: Prodigal Sorcerer for use w/ Sigil of Sleep

Select for Inspection, Rush of Ice, Containment Membrane might be worth considering. Sweet brew!

OK, here we go. I've got a lot of feedback for this deck.

First of all, it's REALLY fun to play.

I've always loved mucking around with

Be aware that this is quite "durdly". Make sure you play it at a reasonable pace: not so slow that you run out of time to complete a match, not so fast that your Opponent doesn't know what is going on.

You would run 20 lands in an EXTREMELY aggressive deck. This is not one of those decks.

I suggest you add 3x Attune with Aether to the mix which sort of acts like a land, colour fixes, and gives you extra

3x Aether Hub would also help this deck with colour fixing. Put them in and remove the Evolving Wilds.

In my opinion Nature's Way would be better than Haze of Pollen. Killing a key Creature will help to stall longer than preventing damage for just one turn.

I would like to see Appetite for the Unnatural in the Sideboard, because it is so versatile. It can get rid of Gearhulks, Liliana's Mastery, etc.

I like Supreme Will better than Metallic Rebuke. Same price for a less conditional card with two modes.

I would rather see Sage of Shaila's Claim than Scythe Leopard. With Evolving Wilds coming out the Leopard won't be as effective, and the Sage fits your theme better.

It also acts a little bit like Haze of Pollen in that you now have a chump blocker that you don't care about losing.

It works really well with Bristling Hydra

Aethersquall Ancient is so good that I would add another. I would take out one Thriving Turtle for it, as that card is a bit hit and miss.

I like the Fabrication Module very much in this deck, but the other modules are a bit meh. You don't want too many Artifacts. I would add a Fabrication Module and take the other ones out.

I would rather see a counter spell than Gift of Tusks. Much better to completely stop a Creature resolving than nerf it for one turn, or boost one of your Creatures. Again, the card is a bit too situational.

Here is a suggested upgrade:

3x Aether Theorist
3x Aethersquall Ancient
3x Bristling Hydra
4x Greenbelt Rampager
4x Longtusk Cub
3x Sage of Shaila's Claim
3x Thriving Turtle

3x Fabrication Module

2x Botanical Sanctum
3x Aether Hub
7x Forest
6x Island
2x Lumbering Falls

4x Blossoming Defense
1x Essence Scatter
2x Disallow OR Cancel
2x Nature's Way
3x Attune with Aether

This deck has a stronger purpose now - get as many as possible and use them to overwhelm the enemy.

I don't like Containment Membrane in the Sideboard. It doesn't tap the Creature, so if it's big enough they can just use it as a blocker.

Against a Control deck running Torrential Gearhulk it is next to useless.

SIDEBOARD

2x Cartouche of Strength
2x Disallow OR Cancel
3x Essence Scatter
2x Negate (brilliant against Planeswalkers)
2x Plummet
2x Supreme Will
2x Appetite for the Unnatural

You'll have to playtest any changes to see how they work.

If you update the deck tag me in these Comments and I'll take another look at it.

If I were you, I would make sure to have more cards that you really don't want to control, and hand them off to your opponent. Or something that they can't use without assistance, like Mogg Flunkies. Also, you should consider some lock down cards to put on things that you give your opponent, like Containment Membrane, Encrust or Narcolepsy. Plus I would add Vexing Devil, just because you're running red and it could give you some early damage. Good luck in the tournament!

Coming back after having looked at the deck a bit more.

I think you can cut on the hate cards. You have a lot of counterspells, I'd cut the ones that aren't as good in EDH as in other formats. For example Clash of Wills, in EDH players usually tend to have more mana, so most of the time they'll be able to play that "x" cost without trouble.

Your manabase could use some help. I'd play some duals and utility lands. For example Thornwood Falls, Botanical Sanctum, Simic Guildgate, they'll help you to easier reach your requirements for double of the same manacost. Utilitylands like Rogue's Passage help your creatures get through or in the case of Arcane Lighthouse allow you to get around some protection on your opponent's creatures.

To really take advantage of Rashmi, Eternities Crafter without having to make the deck too much instant-based, I'd play Alchemist's Refuge, this will allow you to cast non-instants at instant speed.

You should run some more manaramp, for example Cultivate and Kodama's Reach place lands into play and in your hand, advancing you easily. This is the biggest problem I have with Attune with Aether in EDH as it puts the lamd in your hand and so doesn't ramp you. Most lists aslo play Sol Ring in EDH because it makes for a nice jump in available mana.

Containment Membrane isn't good in EDH as there are enough ways to untap or blink permanents and enchantment hate is out there too.

I took a look at the deck, ran some play tests and it seems really fun, but there are some issues. Some of what I would bring up are already mentioned in your pros/cons list but, you need removal. You are in this for the long game, so you need some way to protect yourself from creatures and other things.

I spent some time on gatherer and came up with some suggestions:

• Winds of Rebuke I would definitely run this one. 1. it is removal for non-creatures so you can mess up vehicles. 2. It contributes to delirium for Manic Scribe, it's an instant, and mills both you and your opponent adding to your own delirium.
• Aether Meltdown Low cost, an aura, stops vehicles, adds energy and has flash, solid removal
• Containment Membrane This one is harder to justify but you use enough low cost spells and want to go as long as possible so this may be very useful. It also stops crews for vehicles. It's not instant but could be useful.
• Spontaneous Mutation more of a sideboard card, but flash one mana and based on the graveyard which you are trying to fill.

So those are my suggestions, sorry if this went on long, I just want to see mill work in Amonkhet or Hour of Destruction standard. Here's hoping for a mill on cycle card in the next set.

Personally I like this deck but might I recommend Sigarda's Aid and Containment Membrane? also maybe cut the Metalwork Colossus package because it doesn't fit with your deck's themes. +1 hope this does well!
