Rasaru I understand what you mean with the tutors if your play group doesn’t use them. In the event you do add them, they really help with getting Quiet Speculation and combo-ing with Temporal Mastery. As for overloading rift, it is actually hard to do in this deck. Most games will end with me having 6-7 lands in play because you need very little mana in your opening hand to get the deck to work. A 1 or 2 land hand is still viable with my build. Consuming Tide is still a must though because it does so much work.

I’m not the biggest fan of the equipments but feel free to run them if you like them. I get why they’re in the deck.

I haven’t had to worry about decking but I can see an issue if an opponent is using a mill or wheels deck. You could always tech in a Thassa's Oracle.

As for your tutor targets for Intuition, it depends on the board state and timing of the game. If there’s an archenemy the player you pick could give you the card you want while filling your grave. More often than not you’ll be able to choose 3 of a similar card to get a version to your hand. If Demilich hasn’t been a part of the game yet I will usually select it as 1 of the 3.

Also, kuddos on Curate, I’m removing Telling Time for it right now!

Rasaru that’s awesome! You can make it a few ways but I prefer the animate lands as a sub theme. It ups the creature count and it allows for more instants and sorceries.

Just be mindful that this deck plays with a super low mana curve. This is why it’s only running 34 lands. You might have also guessed, this deck is a bit heavier on the stack. Like animating a land, casting spells, and combo-ing out attacks and blocks.

Also you can make this a super budget build and it will still perform well. You do not need to include Intuition or a Mana Drain unless you really want too.

Rasaru the deck runs great and it can get the commander out pretty consistently by turn 3. Based on the hand it could be quicker or slower. It also recovers surprisingly well when the grave gets exiled too.

Demilich is a card I would advise you to include in your build. It is a powerhouse if you know how to use it. I added it as a tech card and it has proven its worth by winning me a handful of games.

Are you interested in building this commander or do you already have a deck list?
