It really depends on how you've been seeing your deck play out and personal preference BUT I would agree that Sorin Markov is much more difficult to play in a 4 color deck. Additionally, he's only specifically useful for knocking one person (almost) out of the game when, in comparison, Aminatou, the Fateshifter is going to help facilitate an infinite combo

OberstHati, NO LOL I would not take out Oko, Thief of Crowns - his ability to turn artifacts and Eldrazi into Elk is too good. I would consider swapping one of your Sorins for an Aminatou, the Fateshifter if you want to incorporate her in

So Aminatou, the Fateshifter instead of Oko, Thief of Crowns i guess,….

OberstHati you're almost right on spot with your combo! However, without a way to proliferate or blink, like Karn's Bastion or Aminatou, the Fateshifter, Teferi cannot go infinite. Since The Chain Veil only adds 1 additional use for each time it's tapped, Teferi has no capability otherwise to continue using his -1 after the first few times

I saw a sisay deck win with Aminatou, the Fateshifter + Nicol Bolas, Dragon-God + Oath of Teferi combo

Peregrine Drake along with an Archaeomancer type effect goes infinite with Ghostly Flicker if you're into that. Peregrine Drake can also generate a ton of mana over time with Soulherder / Flickerwisp / Oji. Also, Illusionist's Stratagem may be worth considering in place of Ghostly Flicker - If you're hitting your infinite combo with Ghostly Flicker, it can feel bad to not actually win with it. I run both instants in my Esper blink deck, so I can draw into the Ghostly Flicker and then cease casting Stratagem and thus avoid self-mill.

Aminatou, the Fateshifter goes infinite with Felidar Guardian, and also is itself a cheap flicker-er.

Nice brew, mate. I run esper blink/flicker helmed by Aminatou, the Fateshifter, so there's a little bit of card overlap there :)

There are a couple minor changes you might consider: Topiary Stomper. I like the Plant Dino because you can search for any type of basic, not just Forests, and it's also a decent body. Elite Guardmage, aka Cloudblazer-lite, is another great lifegain/draw piece. I've never drawn it and wished I had drawn something else. Yorion, Sky Nomad is a really great Flicker effect/enabler for other things. If you have it with Charming Prince / some other flicker creature, you can create a ton of value in very short order.

As far as cuts for any of those? ...That's the hard part, lol.

A few non-budget ideas that I'm including for the reason that they may help give you other, more budget ideas: Brutalizer Exarch -> Eladamri's Call. Eladamri's Call on opponent's end step, get Archaeomancer, play archaeomancer on your turn targeting Eladamri's Call in your graveyard, boom, two tutored creatures. Congregation at Dawn is a more budget tutor that could accomplish this, too (although in that case I'd probably put arch 2nd or 3rd from top).

Panharmonicon - if you're having trouble getting creatures to stick, this can help give them more impact when they can land, even if they don't stick around long.

Good luck, and have fun!

If you add Nicol Bolas, Dragon-God you can make another infinite combo off of Sisay, Weatherlight Captain/Jodah. Basically grab Chromatic Orrery tap it to grab Aminatou, the Fateshifter -1 flicker orrery grab Nicol Bolas, Dragon-God use it's copy of aminatou to -1 flicker orrery again grab Oath of Teferi.

Nicol Bolas, Dragon-God + Aminatou, the Fateshifter + Oath of Teferi is an infinite flicker combo for infinite draw, mana (flicker lands), and walker activations (flicker the walker). You just need to use the second activation to reset aminatou and bolas every time.
