LexiFjor Is Total War the deck you're looking at? If so, would Voltron work for what you're looking for?
Additional phases could work as a hub, I'll look into that. Most likely, your suggestions will be separate hubs, since they serve different purposes. Extra Combat is common and specific enough to work, with different ways to approach and achieve it. Extra Upkeep is a maybe, because it's more niche but moderately well-supported, and Extra Anything Else probably isn't ready to be a hub.

A hub for a deck that wins exclusively by commander damage would be nice - I've got an alexios deck that fits that Category
Alternative suggestions: a hub for those that play with phases (extra upkeeps/extra combats

Introspection
Sorcery
Exile your hand, then search your library for up to three cards and put them into your hand. Shuffle your library and end the turn.
After a long and quiet reflection, Armeas knew what he must do, but more importantly what he must become.

Eddy Gordo, Flow of Moves
Legendary Creature - Human Warrior
First Strike, Haste
Whenever you cast a spell that targets this creature, draw a card and add an amount of mana in any combination of colours equal to that spell's mana value.
Your maximum hand size is 2.
3/3
Create a card called "Introspection".

I might be overthinking things, but I just wanted to clarify I understand personal opinion, but the fact that you opt to use infect but at the same time choose to criticize and even disapprove of the use of Infinite combos is just downright nonsense. I'm not trying to insult you as a person or player, I just think that your opinion doesn't seem to track. That aside, I want to be certain - is Infect/Toxic/Poison the mechanic you wish to use? I ask this because to use infect means you're going to likely have to delve into some much meaner spells to ensure the table can't succeed in it's eventual call to arms against you.

Whenever a nontoken creature dies during a main phase, create a token copy of that creature. Sacrifice it at the beginning of the next main phase.
1/2
My attempt at making a single color identity spell that can be cast with multiple colors. And an Aristocrats nightmare.
Shadow the Hedgehog is a broken abomination. I hate it almost as much as I want one. Make a Secret Lair style Universes Beyond character of your choice into a card, and make it equally as broken as Shadow. Which is to say, it wouldn't get the ban hammer, but you know it totally should.

Yesna, Rosethorn Archdruid
Legendary Creature - Elf Druid
Tap an untapped druid you control: Add , or
Tap three untapped druids you control: Mill three cards, then return up to one permanent card from your graveyard to your hand.
Tap nine untapped druids you control: Exile up to three target nonland permanents. For each permanent exiled this way, its controller may search their library for a basic land card, puts it onto the battlefield tapped, then shuffles.
1/4
This feels very druidic. The first ability is a better Seton, Krosan Protector. The second and third ones are fitting flavourwise with Acolyte.
Create a kitsune warlock.

Phenomenal insight into Altar of the Brood totally overlooked that! As soon as I can stop by my LGS to pick up the copy I literally just traded in for credit, it will find its way back into the deck like it originally was.
As for Omen of Fire, I’m playing this deck in the cEDH community. The more I look at this card the more I do still want to play it but as we both I’m sure agree it is in fact very meta, but the only real thing holding me truly back at this point is that I’m running Dryad of the Ilysian Grove. Although it’s only a single copy I can’t risk bouncing my own lands. Looking back at Tectonic Break now and maybe even potentially Epicenter

Blighted is nice but only a one-time use and I lose the land in the process. Unless my token gen is exceptional at some point of the game, it's very much not worth it.
Inventor's Fair is passive yea but its condition of 3 or more artifacts puts it below the many free passive options I have now. Especially when I don't run that many artifacts.
Nomad is the same reasons as Blighted, and more. Its life cost to use it as land makes it counterproductive, and the threshold to sac it for life makes it only useful later on. If I have to wait on it, I don't want it.
I will however add those 2 lands though, those are nice. Thank you!

In regards to your manabase, you still haven't answered what your budget is looking like. A manabase tends to be the most expensive (and important) part of any EDH deck. Does your playgroup allow proxies?
Side tangent - the upcoming set Edge of Eternities has recently teased the return of shock lands. Shock Lands are some of, if not the best lands in modern magic. With this upcoming reprint they will be more accessible than ever so I highly recommend you get them their prices lower, namely: Watery Grave, Breeding Pool, Godless Shrine, Hallowed Fountain
, Overgrown Tomb and Temple Garden.
You slightly misunderstood what I meant when I asked about your meta. Do you use the bracket system that was introduced by Wizards? Using that to describe your deck (or the one you wish to build) will make this process go over much more smoothly. Seeing that your Meta includes the infamous likes of Najeela, the Blade-Blossom and Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow you are facing some very strong commanders that would likely have decks that would place them in Bracket 4 (using the aforementioned bracket system as a reference). But, and a very big but here - it depends on what kind of decks these commanders helm. Do they have big expensive manabases with lots of (monetary) expensive interaction cards? e.g. Mana Drain, Force of Will, Mana Vault
It seems here that you have a misunderstanding of infinite combos. The aforementioned combo of Thassa's Oracle and Demonic Consultation are used almost exclusively in the alternate format known as Competitive EDH or cEDH. That is an essential combo for the format, and is expected to be part of a deck running . To you that may look like someone who just doesn't want to engage with other players - but to those who wield the combo in a game where other players are using similar strategies this is what everyone signed up for. Infinite combos are a staple of Magic and Commander. I understand that you are a person and you are absolutely entitled to your opinion. But please, have consistent logic here: Infinite Combos may be unpopular to some players, but for the love of Father Yawgmoth Poison is a FAR less popular mechanic in Commander.
Not saying you shouldn't use it - I for one embrace it. But using Poison will give you a distinct political disadvantage at just about every single table you show up to. Once the other players know, they will more than likely work together to tear apart your boardstate and shove you off the table.

Mortlocke you are right, there are some missing piece to my description...
I am looking to upgrade the mana base to get more consistently access the GWBU. I am open to MDFC, but i do not have the habit or the knowledge for them yet.
As for the Meta, I just want to get the poison counter up as fast as possible and proliferate to finish it up. I usually go up against really fast deck and hated commander such as Yuriko or Najeela.
Concerning the infinite combo, i mostly mean a win-con such as Thassa's oracle & Demonic consultation kinda infinite-combo. I see it as winning the game without playing you deck how it's intended for a Win, which is by poison counter.

You and I went different directions but there's still some overlap in cards and strategy. I see dat Power Matrix! (Pet card of mine. The 1st "equipment")
You have some Indestructible where I really leaned into it since has so much. I also have a few creatures with Flash to play around the Wrath of God on a stick.
The only thing I'm going to individually suggest is discard fodder since spell shapers so desperately need Squee, Goblin Nabob.
Glory going to be bold and suggest cutting Mother of Runes
Soul of New Phyrexia that indestructible I mentioned earlier

Righteous Valor

Target creature you control with a +1/+1 counter on it deals damage equal to its power to any target. Prevent all combat damage that would be dealt to that creature.
OK, so I was looking a copy of Rosethorn Acolyte that I have, and I can't get over how much the red eyes stand out against the rest of the piece. That, plus the flavor text, made me think about what "Rosethorn" is. But the existence of Acolytes implies that it is some sort of druidic circle, and the existence of members of greater power. Make a Legendary Elf that is some sort of Rosethorn Archdruid.

It appears you are in need of some help with your manabase, well what would helpful is your budget. How much are you looking to spend, and what exactly is your goal? Do you want more functionality? (e.g. Modal Double Faced Cards (MDFC) more consistent access to GWBU? Do you tend to lean toward one color?
You say you're open to making your deck bracket 4, so I must ask - what is your meta? What kind of decks do you want this to go up against? Are you committed to bracket 4? It can be expensive if you don't want to proxy. What is your vision for this deck?
I understand not wanting to run Infinite combos if it's not part of your vision, but I do take slight umbrage with the attitude of "not playing the game to actually play" when using an infinite combo to close the game. I think that take is very strange coming from someone who wishes to run Poison counters ala Toxic/Infect.
