Hi Votecat,
-
Urza's Saga is amazing in silo but i'm hesitant to include it due to the deck being so demanding regarding colored mana. Sure I could tutor for Mox Diamond, but that depends on the number of lands I have in hand 3 turns from play. I think there is an argument for the Urza's Saga, just not a very compelling one. If I were to slot it in, i'd probably put it in for Volrath's Stronghold maybe.
-
Reflecting Pool - I could've sworn this was in the deck. This is a simple oversight. I'm probably going to cut one of the pain lands to make room. Which one would you cut?
-
Plaza of Heroes is a really cool card that I honestly didn't know existed. The unfortunate drawback is that this card is a little bit narrow in use due to it practically demanding that my Commander be in play in order to be useful. As great as this land is, I just don't find the argument for its inclusion that compelling. Less so than including Urza's Saga.
I always welcome a rebuttal - please let me know if you think i'm missing something.

What’s your reasoning for not running lands such as Urza's Saga, Reflecting Pool or Plaza of Heroes?

Do you have a budget per card?
Deflecting Swat - Super utility
Skyshroud Claim - Ramp
Elemental Bond > Colossal Majesty
I would swap out Grul Signet and Grul Talisman for Nature's Lore and Three Visits. You run green so artifact ramp is less helpful given it's more susceptible to removal. Other options are Ruby Medallion and Emerald Medallion if you still prefer artifacts. I understand the grul talisman + signet are helpful for fixing your mana, but given you're only 2 colors and one of them is green, you shouldn't really have any issue with it.
I would swap out exoctic orchard for a basic land, utility land or a Reflecting Pool.

Also, 11 lands with basic land types isn't enough to run Isolated Chapel, Dragonskull Summit, or Clifftop Retreat and have them reliably enter untapped. Exotic Orchard, Forbidden Orchard, and Reflecting Pool are fairly budget friendly and would serve you better in 3 colors.

*CMDR needs to go after your commander (asterisks before and after CMDR). Just edit your deck to add it and it'll mark your commander. The deck and tribe makes me think Kaalia, but the name heavily implies Isshin.
Exotic Orchard, Reflecting Pool, and Forbidden Orchard are budget friendly options for any color lands. I haven't looked at the price of City of Brass or Mana Confluence recently but they're great options. These will serve your collection better and can be used in anything 2+ colors.

Opening hand was amazing. Mana Crypt, Gemstone Mine, Reflecting Pool, Blighted Agent, Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon, Prologue to Phyresis, and Imperial Seal. First draw was Thrummingbird, then Sword of Truth and Justice, then Imperial Seal for Command Tower,then Counter spell. I couldn't ask for a better set-up

I would joke about "how can it be a Stax deck without Smokestack", but that's separate, and instead I'll offer up some possibly evil advice:
- Teferi's Puzzle Box or any wheel effect (like Echo of Eons) is obnoxious with Narset, Parter of Veils or Notion Thief. You could also go for Alms Collector for extra obnoxiousness.
- Raffine's Tower is a fetchable tri-land, so highly recommended. Not sure what your budget is, but other handy lands include Reflecting Pool, Field of the Dead (if you can swap out some lands for snow lands), Mana Confluence, Temple of the False God, the Fetches on-color (or even Prismatic Vista or Fabled Passage if you're basic-heavy). If you're basic heavy, maybe go for Back to Basics if you know there are lots of non-basic lands running around...
- In terms of Teferi's Protection comboing, why not Sunder?
- For removal, I highly recommend Vindicate and Anguished Unmaking. Elspeth Conquers Death is pinpoint plus reanimation, which can be handy. Cyclonic Rift is really quite pricey (surprisingly), but an excellent nuke.
- As for stealing opponents' things, I can suggest Commandeer, Desertion, Gonti, Lord of Luxury, Telemin Performance... you could also use things like Silent-Blade Oni, Ink-Eyes, Servant of Oni, and Fallen Shinobi for extra stealing fun, but given that they're Ninjas, they don't work as well without a dedicated Ninja strategy.
- Thalia, Heretic Cathar is another fun "Stax" card, as is Authority of the Consuls.
- Tutors are awesome (Demonic Tutor, Vampiric Tutor, Enlightened Tutor, Mystical Tutor, Profane Tutor, Lim-Dul's Vault...), but not sure which ones you have ready access to. I also recommend Expedition Map to help get more lands.
- For some card draw, Teferi, Time Raveler, Sphinx's Revelation, and Fact or Fiction might be worth considering.
