Just bought the Anje Falkenrath precon and did some quick upgrades with what I have lying around. I'm not interested in spending $10+ on any individual cards, playing infinite combos (no Worldgorgers here), or playing Sol Ring, but outside of that, I'd really welcome feedback and suggestions!

As is, what I've done from the base deck is keep every Madness card, and I plan to cast very few, if any of them, ever; I'm trying to use Anje, a glut of Madness cards, and enablers as a means of playing a deck that's effectively much smaller than it should be, and thus have more efficient and reliable combo and control tools.

I've got a couple of sweepers (mediocre ones, I know) for emergencies, but really I'm just trying to fly under the radar and go off on a massive combo turn or pair of turns that kills everyone. There are two main combo packages, which somewhat complement each other and somewhat overlap: big mana into big burn with Mana Geyser/Shreds of Sanity for massive mana into Jaya's Immolating Inferno/Comet Storm or a big From Under the Floorboards or Empty the Pits, and just doing a hell of a lot of cycling and burning with Shadow of the Grave/Psychosis Crawler/Syr Konrad the Grim/Faith of the Devoted. Other particularly relevant play patterns to winning include Havoc Festival the turn before going off to make sure everyone's life total is nice and low, and Chandra the Firebrand for a little key spell doubling, particularly on Mana Geyser or even Shadow of the Grave for some instant-speed shenanigans.

I'm definitely playing the bad version of a couple of effects that I can even upgrade well on a budget, but I'd welcome being pointed towards those good versions, especially ones I don't know of. I'm also planning on getting closer to playing all the Madness cards I possibly can (there are about 12 more, if I'm counting right) for maximum Anje efficiency, so recommendations on what to just cut for those are particularly welcome.

An idea I had that I came very close to incorporating was an artifacts package along with Ovalchase Daredevil, for a facsimile of a second Squee, Goblin Nabob, and if I were building a non-budget version of this deck with all the Sol Rings and Mana Crypts and infinite-mana-oriented rocks like Basalt and Grim Monolith, I think that actually might be very much good enough, but I feel like the threshold for that plan to be good would start around 12-15 artifacts and I just didn't get there.

I assume Cathartic Reunion, Tormenting Voice, and Faithless Looting are things I should consider too, especially to cycle through non-Madness cards I don't want, but I don't know if that's just not necessary and I have enough draw already. Thoughts?
