Emry, Lurker of the Loch could be a fun mono blue commander. She can have really great value every time if you build an artifact mill deck, and she makes some janky cards like Aether Spellbomb great. Add in some untappers and things and Emry isn't exactly going to win games, but can make a really oppressive commander I think. I've done it in 60 card and it was very effective artifact/blue control.

Ohh yeah man, Crystal Shard is great here for sure. As many economically feasible ways to reset Chun-Li as possible is a must here, certainly. Unsummon, Vapor Snag, Fading Hope, Rescue, Curfew, Chain of Vapor, Alchemist's Retrieval, Unsubstantiate, Familiar's Ruse, Geistwave, Call to Heel, Snapback & of course Capsize (so much utility here) are all worth a thought here imo, seeing as how they are also instants that can easily be recurred via the Commander's ability.

Other less synergistic synergies like Vedalken Mastermind, Waterfront Bouncer, Trusted advisors, Shrieking Drake, Faerie Impostor, Seal of Removal, Turbulent Dreams, Aether Spellbomb, Otawara, Soaring City & Sanctum of Eternity could potentially help the deck push through to victory as well!

And then there's Intuition, which is obviously just insane lol.

the interactions of Chromatic Star, Aether Spellbomb, or Executioner's Capsule all still happen - whenever a card lists its own name, it’s just meaning “this card”. So you can use all this abilities, and just treat any instance of “CardName” with “ThisCard”.

So specifically:

• Yes your Mishra’s Warform Chromatic Star can sac itself, and draw a card on going to the grave.

• Yes your Mishra’s Warform Aether Spellbomb can sac itself for either of those 2 effects.

• Yes your Mishra’s Warform Executioner's Capsule can sac itself to destroy a nonblack creature.

• Yes your Mishra’s Warform Reaver Titan will deal the 5 damage on attack.

• Yes your Mishra’s Warform Skysovereign, Consul Flagship will deal damage on both etb and attack.

I made a Mishra, Eminent One artifact deck recently. He creates a token that has a different name of the original non-creature artifact card, meaning...does the leave the battlefield interaction of something such as Chromatic Star , Aether Spellbomb, or Executioner's Capsule not work with the token, as the token's name is Mishra's Warform? Ex) I create a Mishra's Warform 4/4 copy of Executioner's Capsule. I can't sacrifice the Mishra's Warform Executioner's Capsule to destroy a nonblack creature, can I? As there is no "Executioner's Capsule"to sacrifice because the name is Mishra's Warform on the copy. Same question for Reaver Titan or Skysovereign, Consul Flagship. The Mishra's Warform copy won't have the name Reaver Titan, so when it attacks, it doesn't deal 5 damage...correct? Thanks for all your help!

Hmm, you could double up Wishclaw Talisman if there is combo win in your deck.

Or maybe use it to make copies of Myr Retriever and Junk Diver that will get sacced to constantly be recurring sac artifacts. I did a 60 card deck once that constantly recurred Aether Spellbomb and when the engine was going, it was brutal : )

Maybe vehicles too, to bypass their crew costs. You could use a copy of Peacewalker Colossus to power the other one. A copy of Smuggler's Buggy might also be fun. Or Necron Monolith which as a 4/4 could tap to crew the original...but that might be too janky maybe.

Some notes on your deck description:

• You want to use two "[" signs on either side of a card to have them show as card link/hovers. for example if you wanted [Jace, Vryn's Prodigy] to show up as Jace, Vryn's Prodigy  ^Flip you need an extra "["/"]" on either side.

• Getting a decklist to a 100% competitive rating as determined by this site isn't really at-all a good measure of a decks competency. Many tier-1 decks will only show as ~75%. It is always better to focus on actually make the deck competitively viable, instead of focusing on a number that gives you no indication of a decks actual competency.

Thoughts on the deck itself:

• Your manabase could pretty easily support 4 colours instead of 3 - and I think white would offer you a LOT more benefits here as a 4th colour. Some of my suggestions below go further into this 4th colour option.

• Flamekin Harbinger is a good reason to run a few 1-ofs as far as toolbox elementals. At the moment there are only 3 options for your Harbinger to grab, which really limits its ability to answer your opponents gameplan, or further your own. I'd suggest 1-of copies of cards like Flickerwisp, Fulminator Mage, Fury, Thunderkin Awakener etc so that your Harbinger can toolbox up whatever option provides you the best advantage at the time.

• Going on from the above comment, your elemental count is really, really low. I'd really suggest fitting a lot more creatures into your deck.

• I'm really not sold on Aether Spellbomb or Repeal being useful in the way you're describing. Bouncing your own Harbinger to your hand is a really slow approach to the game and will put you significantly behind on-board. Stuff like Recommission or Ephemerate could benefit you a lot more here, as they're overall spending a LOT less mana to get a better result.

• Clutch of Currents feels really weak, and i'm not sure what it's doing here.

Aether Spellbomb if you want to make them recast it over again and you can draw with it if you got too many in hand.

Niko9 on New Saheeli Brew Ideas

Ha, yep I agree on Chandra. There may be more powerful walkers, but she does 3 really useful and unique things, and I definitely have decks that can use each mode depending on the board, so she's almost always the card you want to draw.

Honestly, I've never found a home for Flux Channeler but I keep trying : ) Just being a creature in your noncreature deck makes it tough. I just feel like there has to be a way to break it with walkers and cherrios, but I haven't wrapped my head around how to do it yet.

I also wonder if Saheeli could work with a Emry, Lurker of the Loch build. I used to have a Emry deck that used recurring Aether Spellbomb to great effect, and you could use that spellbomb as a Saheeli target too.

Or, there is also Curiosity effects. Thopter Spy Network might be really nice with Saheeli's minus ability.

Ha, I feel like there are a lot of options, and they all seem pretty decent : )
