Refactor Goals:

fix curve
ensure draw & ramp are sufficient
repeatable/resilient effects
focus on steal+sac, lifegain, Sunforger, etc. more narrowly; ETBs vs artifacts generally vs equipment vs lifegain vs sac value is too much to pack in.
probaly want more ETBs than Sunforger effects b/c of extra GY/resurrection value

Themes:

Hasted creatures to swing, fling, copy, and resurrect
Steal shit and chuck, sac for value, or keep
Life outlets to extract value from Brion's lifelink and other lifegain
Sunforger Package w/ removal, steal effects, creature invulnerability, combat tricks, mass resurrect effects(?)
Tutors and equipment can make Brion hexproof at instant speed, double his triggers, or machine gun off an mass steal effect

Synergies:

Kher Keep & Castle Ardenvale Show

Treasure from Smothering Tithe/Curse of Opulence Show

Fling Knollspine Dragon in response to its own EtB trigger to deal 7, gain 7, draw 7

Mass Steal effects == Wipe w/ a repeatable sac outlet on board

Sneak Attack + many things + Brion Stoutarm = cheat in, ETB value, fling, and recur later

Combos:

Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Zealous Conscripts /Restoration Angel = Infinite Hasted Tokens

Swing off of mass steal effect, then Brion Stoutarm equipped with Thornbite Staff to machine gun everyone's face w/ their creatures

Focus:

Ish: Ramp=10, Draw=10, STR=5, Wipe=5, Land=38;
Standalone (25): work alone or in concert w/ cmdr; never a dead card
Enhancers (10-12): amplify or amplified by commander, standalones, and/or other enhancers; can be a dead card but frequently goes HAAM with another card {Redundancy, Resurrect, SacOutlet, Steal, Tokens}
Enablers (7-8): cover weakness/gaps in strat
Curve: 1/2 (14-15), 3 (12-16), 4 (8-10), 5/6 (6-9), 7+ (3-5); 6-8 flex slots

Refine/Questions:

Put all of your 100% cards into a list
What are top 4-6 Sunforger targets? cut down to that
How many mass steal cards to run? Phyrexian Altar and Greater Gargadon turn these into one-sided wipes
How many sac outlets to include? synergies with

Playtest:

Add in Ajani, Strength of the Pride if consistently hitting 55+ life when you'd want a 1-sided wipe (turns 5+?)
Sun Titan + Angelic Renewal + mana sac outlet = Unlimited Mana
Review correct quantity of life to pay for Phyrexian Processor; go whole-hog, or half-hog (toward life total of most threatening oppo) and then find a doubling mechanism?
put in more rocks the fewer artifact wipes people play
play more board wipes for creature meta
skeptical of Kher Keep/Trading Post/token generator/primary steal effects being good enough to overcome creature sac downside of Helm of Possession
Swiftfoot Boots vs. Lightning Greaves?
Purphoros, the Bronze-Blooded only 8x decent targets, but also a haste enabler and sometimes an indestructible creature?
Conditions under which more doublers would have won me the game or had more fun instead of drawing other non-land cards?
Chance for Glory with another turn from Glorious End would be really funny; combo name "fell down the glory hole"; Sundial of the Infinite or Angel's Grace after those would also rip
if temporary tokens are doing work, expand with Feldon of the Third Path and/or Sundial of the Infinite? latter helps Mimic Vat, Flameshadow Conjuring, and Blade of Selves; also negates "lose game" effects
typically enough artifacts to run Inventors' Fair and do I have a worthwhile target? could later cut Emeria, The Sky Ruin for this and fill in extra Plains with more dual lands
Might wanna sub Gift of Immortality in if nobody is actually running STR in playgroup
play Greater Gargadon as early as possible or find room more toward turns 4/5 to save counters?
think about whether mass haste enabler is even valuable; usually not going wide with creatures from hand or tokens; Fervor or holding up Mass Hysteria until you're ready is more valuable

Old:

Ghostway worse than Faith's Reward for my own creatures b/c I can usually sac them for value + avoid tuck/exile
skip one-off spells & creatures unless they are v impactful (e.g. cut Serra Avatar)
worth running Reiterate as a source of card advantage? can pay buyback off of Sunforger cast
Phyrexian Altar vs. Ashnod's Altar? both or neither?
Any worthwhile Karmic Guide/Reveillark combo plays? jk too boring
Angel of Serenity can perma-exile 3x creatures if chucked in response to ETB trigger
Sun Titan targets are lit
12+ plains with Weathered Wayfarer and Land Tax for Emeria, The Sky Ruin to make the cut
Thousand-Year Elixir helps Goblin Welder, Stonehewer Giant, Bloodshot Cyclops, Mother of Runes, Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker w/ untap and pseudo-haste
Blade of Selves doesn't play nice with Kozi, Ilharg, nor Yosei, the Morning Star or Archon of Justice , but some creatures go off?
Arcbond on Brion could still be a funny lifegain combo, and is Sunforgeable
Anger, despite being able to swing with equipment and sac for value, seems riskier than Fervor b/c people tend to run GY removal (at least single-target)
same rationale for Faith's Reward and GY removal; put back in if folks aren't running that stuff much
Deathrender + Brion Stoutarm/sac outlet = instant speed cheat creature from hand, but gotta have that thing in hand when something dies to get the cheat
Goblin Welder/Daretti, Scrap Savant + treasure tokens = big artifact reanimation value
Land Tax can help you discard certain cards you'd like to hit the GY
Deathrender worth the cheat?
Blade of Selves only copies base creature; still worth?
Sun Titan + Gift of Immortality = ETB value
