Kaweiwu not quite sure what you mean by that, Keen Duelist punishes your opponent for your high MVs, and punishes you if your opponent has high ones too. It's very different than Dark Confidant type effects.

No Reassembling Skeleton? What about something like Sengir Autocrat, make a bunch of bodies to generate maximum triggers? Gixian Puppeteer seems like a good fit. I feel like Dreadhorde Invasion might be good with your Commander, as long as you sacrifice the token you get a fresh one on your upkeep, this is a relatively affordable alternative to Bitterblossom. If you like the Underworld Dreams effect, perhaps Fate Unraveler, though it's not exactly budget at this point and will surely go down in price if it sees reprint, so maybe keep an eye on it? I feel like your deck would benefit from anything that prevents life gain, stuff like Grima Wormtongue and/or Knight of Dusk's Shadow might keep opponents from running away from your damage/life loss effects, and Plague Drone actually punishes opponents for trying to gain life.

Well, after a quick search I found a few damage spells that might be worth checking out: Mine Collapse can deal 5 damage for no mana in a pinch, if this can kill an opponent at a good moment it could definitely be worth it, Spire Barrage/Spitting Earth can each hit a single creature for potentially a lot (spreading it out sounds incredible to me!). Their is also Jaws of Stone if you really, really like the effect.Transmogrifying Wand is an incredible piece of removal in a mono-colour deck.
What kind of help are you specifically hoping for?

I didn't want to spam your deck with a link to mine, but I thought you might want to see my Sisay list anyways. Lots of cards in common between the two decks, but enough difference that it might be worth taking a look! I'm still brewing the list, but it's a relatively fun that I can be played vs a wide range of decks, if opponents aren't playing at a high level I just dig out Shrines and cards that synergize with them, if they're playing competitive Magic then I just go right for infinite WUBRG to win on the spot.

Sisay- CEDH Build...
#6
I'm not sure if you should be running that many guild Signets, why not just run more Green ramp that is better at fixing your mana? Artifacts do better in cEDH than more casual games, but you'll be feeding Dockside. I'd even run Talismans over Signets if you feel desperate for 2 mana rocks, Talisman of Indulgence is a more useful card in most situations than Rakdos Signet. Also Fellwar Stone exists fwiw.
Similarly, I'm not sure if you should run ETB tapped Fetches in a cEDH deck, but I will admit the fixing is nice. Stuff like Rocky Tar Pit belong in more casual games, at least in my experience.
I can see you have tons of combos in here, but I can't help but mention Selvala, Heart of the Wilds, she synergizes incredibly well with Sisay, Emiel and a Haste source (like Samut), usually netting you infinite mana and as many cards as you want (by flickering your Sisay, who should be the strongest creature). I only mention it because I think you've got everything Selvala needs to work, and she's a Legendary mana dork that can make any colours of mana.
If you're hoping to play cEDH I would recommend you run at least a couple Counters, some relatively affordable ones (that still hit relevant stuff reliably) are Swan Song, An Offer You Can't Refuse, and maybe Pact of Negation or even Flusterstorm. If these are too pricey you can also try Arcane Denial or Dispel. I would definitely run Dispel over Lightning Greaves in a deck like this, people don't run Sorcery speed answers very often in cEDH, so they'll just wait until you're going to equip the Greaves and then Swords you.
Do you have a plan for Opposition Agent? I feel like if people resolve one you're going to be having a very bad time, unless I'm missing a bunch of removal, and people love Oppo in cEDH. You might consider some of the more versatile removal options, stuff like Generous Gift, Stroke of Midnight, and Beast Within can hit pretty near anything you need gone.

I'm also of the opinion that a few more lands would probably solid, 31 doesn't feel like very many, a few more would probably help with consistency (which may or may not be an issue for you).
It might not matter as much if you play vs other casual decks (you'll be less likely to be punished for running artifacts), but in Selesnya I feel like you don't want mana rocks, Green has access to some really good ramp effects, and they're often fairly affordable. For example, I think I'd switch out Arcane Signet for Rampant Growth, Commander Sphere for Kodama's Reach, Cluestone could go for Harrow (if people counter ramp spells I'd go with Roiling Regrowth instead), and Sol Ring could go for something like Wild Growth/Utopia Sprawl/Crop Rotation. If you go this route I would consider switching a few Plains for Forests, even if your deck ends up having a lot of White effects, Green ramp can find Plains for you.
When I try to build Casual decks, I still try to put removal in, but I try not to run stuff like Swords to Plowshares, and instead try to use less pushed options like Intrepid Hero, Avenger en-Dal, and Spurnmage Advocate. Each has it's own drawbacks, but the fact that you can't 'catch' (they aren't a 1 mana Instant) someone with these makes them fun in my experience. Spurnmage is a really powerful political card that can be helpful vs graveyard decks, and Avenger can technically gain you life if you have a big creature and just want the life, but it's also a deterrent. If you want a non-creature source of creature removal their is also Transmogrifying Wand, this is one of the best 'lower power' removal effects ever printed, it's good enough to make a big impact once resolved, but you need it to stick around to get full value over time. IMHO there's nothing wrong with running relatively little removal in a casual environment, but you'll probably win a few more games if you have some ways to slow down opponents that happened to draw well, so if that matters you might throw a few things in.
Not sure if you want actual jank, but Noble Purpose is an old favorite of mine that gains you tons of life if you're in combat, but most importantly it fully stacks with Lifelink.

Urza's Saga might be useful, it can find MV 0 or 1 equipment, and it can also make chump blockers for you which Arden can equip in a pinch.

As Imodane appears to be mono-Red, I don't think you can run Boros Reckoner or Spitemare, unless of course people agree to allow Hybrid cards as either/or rather than both.
Another thing I thought about while looking at this list, do you have enough damage spells? I could be wrong, but I think your payoff to trigger ratio could be better with a few less payoffs and a few more triggering spells, drawing only copy effects and payoffs could make for an unpleasant game.

Said on Obosh doubling damage...
#1Any reason you don't use Brash Taunter? It's great with damage based wipes, suddenly your Blasphemous Act family spells also dome an opponent, if you can double that you'll probably eliminate someone.
In a list that has a decent number of creatures that can deal damage you might look into Basilisk Collar, it's good with many of your creatures, similarly Scavenged Brawler can turn a mediocre creature into a real problem. I'll never forget putting those counters onto a Brash Taunter!
It's probably not the best thing you can be doing, but Crypt Rats and similar effects are endless fun. There is also Exocrine, this weird guy can generate a lot of damage if you've got the mana, yet it also will draw you a card and leave a huge creature. Also, what the heck, Thrashing Wumpus exists too, and can Pestilence twice every turn without croaking, which could add up/cripple your opponents' boards. Very good if you've got Whip out obviously!
Do people run a lot of Blue in your meta? I liked Citadel of Pain a bit in a deck like this, normally this is symmetrical, but with your synergy it might play a lot better. I like Citadel in decks that feature a fairly high MV, where you don't want people to be able to bluff by holding up mana.
Since you don't run a ton of lands, maybe Acidic Soil? That could be 3 mana to win on the spot in some games.
Would Descent into Avernus work in here? It'll speed up games, not sure if your deck is usually one of the faster ones in your pod, if so it should help, if you're normally a slower deck then it's probably going to get you killed.
Fires of Mount Doom is a dual purpose card, offering you a way to slow down a Voltron deck, yet also a way to draw cards. I normally wouldn't bother with Impulse draw, but if your deck isn't really into combos then it plays well enough. Another nifty way to get cards in hand that opponents probably can't take advantage of with Obosh out is Wheel of Misfortune, a card I normally don't like. If you can double that damage (or better), then opponents will be very wary of trying to wheel.
