Tribute Mage can fetch Illusionist's Bracers, goes infinite with Aphetto Alchemist as you can untap himself and another creature.

Realmwright is mana fixing.

Grove of the Guardian is a good land you could throw in, gives you a big token that can be copied. Cryptolith Rite is insane ramp. Illusionist's Bracers to copy Rhys's copy abillity, working very similarly to Doubling Season and crew. Crashing Drawbridge is a good budget way to give all your tokens haste which can be very valuable. Throne of the God-Pharaoh and Altar of the Brood are good wincons if you're not able to attack for whatever reason. Huatli, Radiant Champion, Mentor of the Meek, and Runic Armasaur are all pretty consistent card draw options throughout the entire game. And Aura Shards is a huge defensive piece, keeping opponents' games out of sync with their key artifacts and enchantments. A few tutors to get out creatures and enchantments help as well... a few are Idyllic Tutor, Enlightened Tutor, Eladamri's Call, and Green Sun's Zenith. That should be a pretty good list to get you started, you can check out my Rhys deck if you would like for any other inspiration you may find: 0-60 in 3.5! (Rhys tokens). Rhys is such a fun commander! Make a big emphasis on ramp and quick token generation and watch it fly out of control! If you would like any help with cuts or any questions let me know!

You should throw in an Illusionist's Bracers for your commander. Just looked through creatures and all but 2-3 could use an Illusionist's Bracers.

I've run a Feldon of the Third Path deck and it's honestly really similar to Zirilian. So I'll suggest cards that should work just as well for your commander as for mine. Illusionist's Bracers is definitely a strong card when your commander has a strong ability to copy. Fires of Invention is one of the strongest ramp spells you can run. It lets you only spend commander tax when recasting your commander, it lets you cast spells while also keeping mana to use your commander's ability, or you can just cast 2 dragons. It's the kind of ramp mono-red needs.

but what purpose would Illusionist's Bracers serve? seems to me like it doesnt interact with anything on this deck

Have you considered Illusionist's Bracers for this deck?

Also Valakut Exploration can be another means of card advantage like Outpost Siege.

Lambofan217- Rings of Brighthearth and Illusionist's Bracers while cheaper, don't have the versatility of Engine.

The "copy ability" effects are only (practically speaking) applied to the Petitioners activated ability. There's little else in the deck they can target to an effective manner; whereas Lithoform Engine can copy all sorts of things and only take up one card slot.

Thanks for the input! If you like the deck, just take a sec to tap that card at the bottom of the description, and play hard!
