Unexpected Windfall

Instant

As an additional cost to cast this spell, discard a card.

Draw two cards and create two Treasure tokens. (It's a colourless artifact with ", Sacrifice this artifact: Add one mana of any colour.")

Fair enough. Tbh I forgot Alchemy is graveyard not bottom. If you end up splashing red Unexpected Windfall and Big Score are pretty good. since you discard first you could discard a sneaky snacker making it free basically. Those are very situational though. I wish you could run more copies of a similar effect its super fun and pretty balanced to combo with. Makes me want to get around to making my pauper faeries deck

This looks like a really fun commander! So, right off the bat, there's a cool way day/night interacts with this commander and your opponents: if you can force it to night consistently, you'll more heavily punish your opponents for playing spells, since they're going to switch it back to day and power up your commander. The easiest way to do that is by playing more instants / at flash speed.

Desperate Ravings / Thrill of Possibility / Big Score + Unexpected Windfall all help positively synergize with your "draw" effects like Ominous Seas and Teferi's Ageless Insight, and also help you trigger the day/night change by electing to play on other people's turns instead of your own.

Seize the Spotlight gets an honorable mention for being great, if you find the slot for it.

For cuts, I would consider: Pouncing Shoreshark (low impact)

Laboratory Maniac - Kind of an all-or-nothing strategy, and sounds like from your description that you'd rather win with combat.

Khenra Spellspear  Flip - doesn't fit with commander, since you want to be able to force it to night whenever your turn rolls around.

Boon of the Wish-Giver - sorcery speed is kinda meh IMO - I imagine people will be trying to kill your commander before it makes this cost.

Mulldrifter - there are instants and sorceries that can draw more for the same cost.

Happy building!

This version of Narset looks super fun!

Your interaction does look a bit light, I'll keep that in mind with these recommendations:

So first off, I'm not really sure about Birgi and Runaway Steam-Kin. They're typically used in mono-red Storm, and your mana costs are so balanced with so little generic mana, I'd probably definitely cut these two.

Similarly, while you do have like three cards that support it, I don't think Zada, Hedron Grinder fits as well here as it does in, say, Feather, the Redeemed. If copies triggered prowess, then it might, but sadly they don't.

Some things that would be awesome here: Frantic Search - fill the yard for Narset, and get some free Prowess triggers? Yes, please.

Unwind / Rewind - same deal here, get some free mana later on by casting these from the yard.

Big Score / Unexpected Windfall - if it's copied instead of cast, you don't even have to discard.

Azorius Charm's slot might be better filled by Prismari Command or Izzet Signet, since both of those have a ton of options included.

Hope that helps; happy building!

Lot of my suggestions are leaning into tokens because Blood Avatar clearly wants that, and if i can find a spell that makes tokens than Extus will be happy too. Thats my idea.

Big Score, Unexpected Windfall, Blood for Bones, Rakdos Charm, Fiery Confluence, Crackle with Power, Storm King's Thunder, Bonus Round, Sram's Expertise, Electrodominance, Jaya Ballard, Liliana, Dreadhorde General, Elspeth, Sun's Champion, Assemble the Legion, Secure the Wastes, Call the Coppercoats, Fury Storm, Ashnod's Altar, Prosperous Partnership, Divine Visitation

Let's take a short break here, because you need better creatures. Creatures that have VALUE as you recast them over and over, maybe even discard outlets. I hate to say it (and i'm not going to list them) but Aristocrat creatures are ideal here because they are cheap, and gain life which can then be used to cast wild stuff like Bolas's Citadel.

Dragonmaster Outcast, Viscera Seer, Cathar Commando, Leonin Relic-Warder, Mondrak, Glory Dominus, Lagomos, Hand of Hatred, Pitiless Plunderer, Mahadi, Emporium Master, Woe Strider, Ophiomancer, Mayhem Devil, Children of Korlis, Insolent Neonate, Elenda, the Dusk Rose, Sengir Autocrat, Syr Konrad, the Grim, Sun Titan

Also if this just ins't the direction you wanna go thats ight
