Honor the God-Pharaoh

Sorcery

As an additional cost to cast this spell, discard a card.

Draw two cards. Amass 1. (Put a +1/+1 counter on an Army you control. If you don't control one, create a 0/0 black Zombie Army creature token first.)

seshiro_of_the_orochi- Most are likely to be additions to a EDH deck as this is my experience is in i don't play any other format since oathbreaker is dead (at least in my area) so take anything i suggest with a gain of salt. With that said Vivien, Champion of the Wilds for flashy badgers, Domri, Anarch of Bolas for mana and removal or Xenagos, the Reveler for his whole kit. since you have discard subtheme hows about Bazaar of Baghdad (Lol), Geier Reach Sanitarium to help fuel you discarding. IDK how you feel about non badgers in this deck but Merchant of the Vale is repeatable rummaging as is Glint-Horn Buccaneer that also burns you opponent. it one for mana more Honor the God-Pharaoh instead of Thrill since it will give a token and helps you draw and discard, this is a big maybe again edh player always looking to sqeeze out as much value as i can

Great deck, I think Honor the God-Pharaoh would fit perfectly here.

fyi imo Honor the God-Pharaoh is more thematic and flavorful; but i've found instant speed chemister's insight to perform better...to each their own.

Alternatively you could cut blue entirely and go with Thrill of Possibility and Honor the God-Pharaoh. You'd have to test it and see how consistently you find all the pieces.

You can look at my deck, Gleaming Arbiter, for inspiration if you'd like, but keep in mind that mine is Modern, not Pioneer. So there will be some differences.

For adding noncreature spells, Honor the God-Pharaoh is one of my favorite cards to cast in my deck. Two cards for one, and adds 1 to the army. Next, Toll of the Invasion might do better for you than me, since you already run some discard. Commence the Endgame is, I believe, the best amass spell, period. However, you really would only have to run a couple of them, because they're a late-game spell. Now, if you did flip the balance more toward noncreature spells, Invade the City becomes brutal, albeit conditional. Furthermore, if you went that route, then Widespread Brutality is an even better choice than Massacre Girl that I mentioned before. However, it will very likely wipe your creatures also, so only if you went that route.

For creatures, I'd remove Aven Eternal, Eternal Skylord and Lazotep Reaver. They all either cost too much or don't help much. The other creatures are not necessarily unhelpful, so you'll probably have to playtest to find a good balance between creatures and others. I do, however, question your idea of adding Liliana, Dreadhorde General. She's more suited for a traditional zombie token deck. Remember that amass doesn't create multiple tokens, just one potentially gigantic one. In a similar vein, I wouldn't say to remove Nicol Bolas, the Ravager  Flip, but to seriously playtest and determine how much it aids the theme of the deck. It's never a bad draw in any situation, but if worrying about it takes away from building the army, then it diminishes the effectiveness of the rest of the deck. Nicol Bolas, Dragon-God can stay, though, because why wouldn't you use him. I'm going to consider adding him to my own deck.

Sorry, I'm long winded. Hope that all was helpful.
