It slipped my mind that the jellyfish is an equipment. Steelshaper's Gift might be more mana efficient than Living Wish. Also its worth mentioning Stoneforge Mystic, since it also provides a body for you to reconfigure the jellyfish on top of being a tutor.

The way I see it is that the combo lives or dies entirely on the survival of the The Reality Chip. In that case try to include some sort of protection in the form of countermagic or discard. Also I suggest to try to include tutor to find the jellyfish more consistently. I think Worldly Tutor and / or Living Wish (leave a single copy of the jellyfish in your sideboard) will do this effectively.

Just spitballing here. Kessig Flamebreather offers better early game defense than Firebrand Archer, and survives Shock. Pyrohemia could be interesting. How to Keep an Izzet Mage Busy combos aggressively with Guttersnipe, etc. Burning Wish could fetch it or an x damage spell. Valakut Awakening  ^Flip could help to assemble your combo or serve as a backup land drop. If you went green instead of blue you could run Time of Need or Living Wish, and replace a mana rock with Zhur-Taa Druid. I used to run him in this deck: Guttersnipe. Don't do this, but you could potentially go infinite with Aggravated Assault (mana and combats).

I'd be weary that 3-card combo decks can be inconsistent (Neheb + Mass Damage + Mana Sink). The best way to test decks is goldfish a dozen or so games (on tappedout). If you can consistently do what you want to on turns 5-6, it might be viable in our group. I goldfished a game; didn't get Neheb but Guttersnipe worked well enough. Life gain (Soul Warden, etc.) could be problematic for you.

According to the official rules for Magic, you're still bound by the color identity and singleton nature of the format:

903.11. If a player is allowed to bring a card from outside the game into a Commander game, that player can't bring a card into the game this way if it has the same name as a card that player had in their starting deck, if it has the same name as a card that the player has already brought into the game, or if any color in its color identity isn't in the color identity of the player's commander.

According to the official rules for Commander (which is not actually managed by Wizards of the Coast), the ability does not work at all:

Parts of abilities which bring other card(s) you own from outside the game into the game (such as Living Wish ; Spawnsire of Ulamog ; Karn, the Great Creator do not function in Commander.

There is Chimeric Idol , Shell of the Last Kappa , Tortoise Formation , and Pattern of Rebirth which just shows a Turtle. And I was thinking if others would be ok with it, you could use Living Wish to grab Yidaro, Wandering Monster so you can have all the turtles.

Thanks GenericToaster, this is just the type of advice I need. I think I’ll scrap most of my sideboard and build it off your suggestions.

I do feel leery about having so few creatures, but I’m not sure what I’d remove to make room for them. I usually play Black so search & retrieval is much less of an issue. White and Red have fewer options in this regard. Gamble can sift but there’s always the risk of losing the card you tutored. I wish W/R had a sideboard scouring card like Living Wish, but they don’t as far as I know.

Have change Natural Connection for Living Wish giving access to the sideboard (and more but, I have build the sideboard for this card in the idea of not to be a total asshole).
