Gem of Becoming

Artifact

3, {T}, Sacrifice Gem of Becoming: Search your library for an Island card, a Swamp card, and a Mountain card. Reveal those cards and put them into your hand. Then shuffle your library.

I don't love Crosis, the Purger - this is just kind of a waaaay worse Nicol Bolas, which I don't think you need. Gem of Becoming - I think this is literal trash. Forbidden Alchemy - I think there are better cards that do this. I don't think you're basically ever going to want to spend 7 on the flashback.

Try: Moonveil Regent, Savage Ventmaw, Lathliss, Dragon Queen, Scion of Draco, Rishkar's Expertise

Swords to Plowshares is the biggest omission in this, imo

Gem of Becoming and Prismatic Geoscope are what I'd cut first, for Arcane Signet and one of your other signets, or Wayfarer's Bauble.

You also might consider some protection like Dispel, Swan Song, Drown in the Loch, Pyroblast, Red Elemental Blast.

So the first big choice will be Superfriends vs Discard, and either can be used with your subpackage of flicker effects.

Suggestions for initial cuts I think have to be made after that distinction is called, because most of what you have would fit in one or the other without much issue...just not both.

These cards are the land-based ramp I found: Wayfarer's Bauble, Solemn Simulacrum, Burnished Hart, Dreamscape Artist, Gem of Becoming and Myriad Landscape. Other ones are oddly situational, or just suck. Can supplement those with artifact mana like Gilded Lotus or Chromatic Lantern. Surveyor's Scope might be cute, but probably just bad. Sword of the Animist is a thing. Druidic Satchel is neat. More form this search: https://scryfall.com/search?q=%28o%3Aland+o%3Aonto+o%3Abattlefield%29+commander%3AUBR&order=cmc&as=grid&unique=cards

I think i would trade Treasure Cruise for Thirst for Knowledge because it kinda nobos with your choice of signature spell.... otherwise id suggest making room for Gem of Becoming and Grixis Panorama . +1

"One-card wincons" to consider: Insurrection , Expropriate , Painful Quandary , Rise of the Dark Realms , Revel in Riches , Cut / Ribbons . Perhaps Clone Legion , Rite of Replication , Mogis, God of Slaughter , Hour of Promise , Blatant Thievery , Grave Betrayal , or Mind's Dilation .

The Chain Veil , Inexorable Tide , Contagion Clasp , and Contagion Engine maybe?

One thing to think about is getting Nicol Bolas flipped and maybe joined by the other planeswalkers and casting Obliterate , Jokulhaups , Devastation , or Decree of Annihilation . Almost guaranteed ultimates. Nicol Bolas, Dragon-God would be the best--proxy for now and include in first build?

Gem of Becoming can be nice for flavor but otherwise +1 for Grixis/Bolas!
