seshiro_of_the_orochi thanks again for the suggestions! I had a card with a similar effect to Paradox Haze but I figured it's actually a bit counterproductive because I do not always want to get rid of time counters quickly (for instance in cards with vanishing or in token-producing creatures that are in exile). This is different for Sphinx of the Second Sun because you get to do it after your combat phase, which means that you get to manipulate my time counters as you want beforehand, so excellent recommendation! The reason why I originally did not include it is that at the time it was much more expensive, I see now that with the recent reprint the price has dropped so I might actually get my hand on a copy :)

Only two quick suggestions here: Paradox Haze and Sphinx of the Second Sun.

Paradox Haze seems pretty solid here imo! Words of Waste & Words of Wind could be worth considering as well.

Gleth, the Scarlet Rot {4}{BR}{G}

Legendary Creature - God Horror

Ward - discard two cards.

Creatures you control have Sickness 2.

At the beginning of each player’s first upkeep each turn, if that player controls at least one creature with a sickness counter, that player gets an additional upkeep step after this step.

7/5

Yes, accelerated sickness. But wait, isn't that a jund Paradox Haze in disguise?

Make more sickness. I kinda like that mechanic.

Search for decks that run Paradox Haze, they're guaranteed to care about the upkeep ;)

Yo Krugz! Thanks for your nice words, I appreciated.

About Paradox Haze I can tell you it works very well in this kind of deck, matter of facts I used to run it time ago, but it needs a turn before it can do something and if you draw it in late game it could be a dead card. In the end I cutted it for Clockspinning cause I prefer istant-speed time-counter removal. However, actually I am considering Sphinx of the Second Sun, similar but stronger, as an Ultimate to be played with Jhoira ability

Love the lore and attention to detail. Do you think Paradox Haze has a place in this?

Extra turn is great but extra upkeep? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )

Oi! Sen Triplets is so busted lol, great choice.

Consider more {B} Tutors if you're looking to keep up with high-power pods more effectively, unfortunately there's really no way around it. Recruiter of the Guard could also pull a lot of weight here, considering all of the applicable pieces like Walking Ballista & Grand Abolisher.

Stuff like Paradox Haze, Mnemonic Betrayal, Praetor's Grasp, Mindslaver & Word of Command also offer value and pseudo-redundancy to this Commander, but they might be getting a little too cute with synergy too.

Card advantage pieces like Ad Nauseam, Dark Confidant, Dark Tutelage, Scroll Rack & of course Necropotence get around card draw Stax pieces like Notion Thief & Narset, Parter of Veils. You may also want to consider those two in this list! Lavinia, Azorius Renegade, Linvala, Keeper of Silence & Chalice of the Void will ruin a lot of game plans as well. If you were running Reanimator I'd also recommend Void Winnower, but this may not be the Commander for all of that...Definitely consider Silence & Angel's Grace, though! Perhaps some Rule of Law effects like Archon of Emeria as well, but it seems like you're trying to go fairly fast here so maybe not lol.

I know they're "boring", but cards like Brainstorm, Ponder, Careful Study, Tolarian Winds & Dark Ritual are just...really, really good haha.

Rhystic Study & Sensei's Divining Top are obviously absolute bangers. Same with Sea Gate, Reborn  ^Flip & Agadeem, the Undercrypt  ^Flip, can't recommend them enough.

Lastly, a piece that I don't see often but is definitely worth it in high-power pods: Deep Gnome Terramancer. This lil dude Ramps you so much you'll think you're playing a {G} deck, it's actually absurd.

Cheers!
