Mind's Dilation has been working out great. Even with one turn around the table it can dramatically change the state of the game. I think this card might be one of the most underrated of the set. It scales very well to Commander

I've also added Pull from the Deep. Most of my win conditions are sorceries (Blatant Thievery, Insurrection, Mob Rule, Rite of Replication. I felt it was important to have another way to recur these cards for extra value.

I've taken out Aethersnatch. It's a cool effect but leaving up 6 mana in the hope of stealing something good just never felt worth it.

I love thieving decks! Theft is a strong subtheme in my The Braided Siren's Song deck. I kind of want to put together a Merieke Ri Berit deck all about theft but my friends hate that shit. Izzet is a great way to do it though because the majority of theft cards that aren't blue are red.

Optimator , I agree with you that blue and red are the best copy and steal colours. Merieke feels like she's in the wrong colours. What does white have to do with stealing? Keranos is a solid izzet commander even though he has nothing to do with stealing.
