Update 1.0 —May 19, 2020
The following are the updates:
- I've further streamlined the deck into a more cycling focused deck
- I've updated the primer
- I've added Scholar of the Ages for late game refueling and the synergy with Astral Slide
- I've added Turnabout as a way to gain additional mana advantage from all of the tapped lands as well as forming a combo cycling engine with Scholar of the Ages + Escape Protocol
- I've added Drake Haven as an alternative win condition and another form of defense against aggro in the form of chump blockers
- Removed Jace, Wielder of Mysteries for Temporal Manipulation for another clean line of winning with Scholar of the Ages. Thassa's Oracle is more than enough.
Fernah14: That makes sense. I like your suggestions and will look into testing them out. Cheers!

Love your decklist, nice work!
Question about Abandoned Sarcophagus: The exile effect will only trigger on cards that are put into the graveyard AFTER you played Abandoned Sarcophagus and will ONLY affect cards hitting the graveyard that aren't put there using the cycling ability, am I understanding this correctly?
I consider this very powerful in lategame, because the way I understand it, this enables me to replay any cycling card in my graveyard. Isn't this efffect comparable to cards like Underworld Breach or Snapcaster Mage, which are considered powerful?

pryrates: The problem with sarcophagus is that it doesn't gel well with my overall cycling strategy. I want to have cards constantly in my hand for gas but sarcophagus doesn't let me cycle from the yard and doesn't even let me do it for cycling lands. I'm looking for more Bag of Holding effects where I can get all of my cyclers back to hand and fire them off again.

Quick question. With all of the card draw, is there a reason to not include Reliquary Tower?

Darty17: The reason is because my manabase is already kinda slow/bad with all of the tapped cycle lands (I might rethink it later) and I need all of the color fixing possible. I can get infinite handsize with Thought Vessel which is easily tutorable with Muddle the Mixture/Long-Term Plans.

The notable exclusions section really helped me with focusing on the direction i'm trying to take with this commander +1

Enral If budget is a problem, should you exclude Gilded Drake for Perplexing Chimera ?

i said keranos not to kill your opponents with the bolts, i said to kill your opponents creatures with the bolts! i really like thought reflection, but i think its too slow for the deck, keranos will grant you a 2nd draw for gavi, or a bolt to kill someones creature. of course that is your deck and you can build it however you want! another recomendation is perplexing chimera, similar to gilded drake but works with spells, can be very usefull. and the last one, i highly recomend sevine reclamation instead of sun titan, it is faster and do the same thing!
