2019 Update —July 16, 2019

Been a long time since the last update but I have been maintaining the deck. Made some progress foiling out the deck and added some upgrades, most notably:

Chandra, the Firebrand -> Ral, Storm Conduit: Fits comfortably in her slot, and allows alternating + and - as opposed to Chandra taking 2 turns to tick back up.

Green Sun's Zenith -> Finale of Devastation: 1 more mana, but drops the restriction of green cards (which means it hits Kiki) AND can hit the grave, which is another layer of deck redundancy that I love.

Blue Sun's Zenith -> Mana Drain: BSZ is a card I'm fond of, but it just wasn't having the impact it needed to have vs things like Dig, Frantic Search, or whatever. Mana drain is budget unfriendly and not necessary for the deck to work, but having that extra edge of being up a few mana for a turn is often enough to accelerate the win by a turn or two.

Walk the Aeons -> Temporal Manipulation: I feel dumb for not knowing this existed until now. Walk was just a redundant Time Warp and the buyback was never relevant for me, so manipulation is a strict upgrade.

yamicannon Yes! Charmbreaker Devils was actually in an earlier incarnation of this deck, and was one of the main wincons. I ran tons of clone effects, and would clone the devils and get lots of cards back each turn, then cast them again and swing for lots (usually infinitely with time warp). Unfortunately they are too slow for the deck as it currently is, namely because of the cost and that they take a turn to be useful, and even then they might not get you back what you need. Also most of the clone effects are gone. Thanks for the suggestion though.

KumaLKS Time walk is a sorcery, and scepter only imprints instants. Not to mention that one card costs more than this whole deck.

KumaLKS All good. You can achieve the same effect with Panoptic Mirror, but it's banned in EDH lol.

You can go a little nuts and tally how many times you've used his ability over the deck's history and keep updating the number in the title. Oh that would be crazy?
