@legendofa I love it, it’s like getting in a time machine.
These are definites:
These are some I’m not sold on. Your deck, your call.
•Reaping the Rewards feels to me like the camera is pulled back a smidge too far for it to be someone treading water looking at their own hands sticking out.
•Verdant Touch Looking at the positioning of the hands, we’re actually looking at whoever they belong to from our perspective. The head belonging to those hands should be where the sparkle of light is.
•Brand I think it’s just us looking at someone else’s hand.
•Repentance just a low camera angle, I don’t think that’s anyone in particular’s perspective.
•Reap hand in bottom left corner, and hand in bottom right corner, but the viewpoint is just a random camera angle fixed between whoever each of those hands belongs to. I don’t get the sense this is 1st person.
•Essence Bottle from the angle, I think we’re looking at some sick person’s hand resting on their belly. It isn’t the viewpoint of either the sick person or the healer.
Edit——forgot to compare against your deck list with this batch. Please ignore any duplicates you’ve already listed.

Xenic Poltergeist for all the zero cmc artifacts and copies, Spreading Plague for token decks, Talon of Pain for pinger situations (like Scalding Tongs or Thumbscrews) and Artificer's Hex for all the various pairs of boots people are always throwing around. Just to throw a few out there. OOH! And Iceberg because blue battery-like effects are weird.

Just built and started testing Ghyrson out myself.
Get that Lava Dart into the main board. Too much easy value.
Shower of Sparks hidden gem I found digging thru my collection. Double Lightning Bolt for the same cost!
If your deck goes hellbent Scalding Tongs.
If your deck goes control Thumbscrews.

shadow63 that’s why Rakdos never leaves home without his Thumbscrews! And neither should any of you. <3

griffstick you KNOW I love the tablet, why would you not let me be the one to list it!?! ;p Instead of the tablet, then, I would recommend a different favorite from my Torture! deck: Thumbscrews. I’m assuming you’re going to have a full grip, but if you’ve reliably got an empty hand you can go with Scalding Tongs instead. Check out my Torture! deck for more pingers!

My favorite commander for this type of case, and forgive me for saying this again (as some will recognize that I’ve posted this before), is Nekusar, the Mindrazer. This gives everyone extra cards to play with while putting the game on something of a clock. In my torture deck (it’s all Razor Pendulum, Thumbscrews, Skullcage, and whatnot) you’ve got a perpetual albeit slow drain on everyone, but it still lets them get cards and play. Pretty hard to beat that combination.

They Didn’t Even Ask Any Questions Scalding Tongs , Thumbscrews , Iron Maiden , Wheel of Torture , and Razor Pendulum . Really cement that line between kids/Pokémon and M:tG/high schoolers+. I’d be interested in what art they would choose (though I love most of those cards already) and I could do without WOT’s corny flavor text.
