Help with slotting in a few cards to my Memnarch Combo Deck

Hello!

I am working on building up a memnarch combo deck, and after some testing and fooling around with it, I decided on a couple of cards that seem like they could be a good fit. Problem is, dont know what to take out for them.

Cards I want to add:

Padeem, Consul of Innovation

Vedalken Orrery

Reasons being, the card draw seemed to need a bit of an extra shove every so often as the deck could run into a dry spell with combo pieces, and Padeem almost always does that (Not an artifact heavy meta) while also providing the very valuable hexproof to my stuff, and vedalken orrery both allows me to be sneakier with combos and works beautifully with Unwinding Clock .

Cards I am considering removing:

Spine of Ish Sah

Its nice because I can essentially blink it with master transmuter and make it repeatable with a way to untap her, but aside from that it is a 7 mana destroy 1 permanent.

Jhoira's Familiar

Functionally my only flying blocker, but only reduces the cost of artifacts (and arcum dagsson) by one at 4 cmc, might not be worth it.

Those are on the top of the list, but any other ideas/suggestions with reasons why would be very helpful, thanks :)

How about Muzzio, Visionary Architect since his ability will tap for the top 7 cards of your library to put one on the board.

Muzzio was actually another card I was looking at, however that would be an additional card as my meta has a lot of spot removal, needing a third spot.

Maybe slot out Dreamstone Hedron because it is on the high end for mana rocks and you already have a couple of mana doublers and less expensive CMC rocks. I feel that unless you are just wanting people to completely despise you Winter Orb can be a card you remove. Meteor Golem could be a decent swap since it is a single target elimination of a permanent, which may not always be needed. I feel like Coastal Breach is a little unnecessary since you already have Nevinyrral's Disk and Cyclonic Rift and which you can Mystical Tutor for or if you'd want to add Merchant Scroll to the deck you can also drop Evacuation .

Plagiarism: An Intellectual Theft Also here is the link to your deck. Also scratch Meteor Golem for removal if you are just getting rid of the spine.

I also find Trading Post to be a good card for artifact recovery and just general value in a deck.

Also since you have Unwinding Clock then Lux Cannon could be decent removal if you do remove the spine and meteor golem.

Hi Joe Ken, you are actually looking at the wrong deck. Big Brain Boy combo deck
