Ah, I may have thrown in Archmage Emeritus to hastily. I don't think it's worth the card slot, though I do for Curiosity Crafter with Minn's effect. Thanks for the feedback

Is 19 sorceries enough to support Archmage Emeritus? Similar question for Curiosity Crafter and tokens, but the commander helps with that one.

CommanderNeyo yea, I have been playtesting it and I might need to include 4x copies of Aria of Flame. I thought I may have enough draw, but it was not enough and I may actually also include something like Archmage Emeritus.

Insight is cheap and green is the most played color in commander.

Otherwise, curiosity effects, especially older ones, are cheap.

Opt effects tend to be cheap but some of the 1 mana cantrips can be expensive (~$2-3). Also, thier best with Archmage Emeritus effects (which range in price).

StarRushfordArchmage Emeritus.

Demon’s denial {1}{B}

Instant

Counter target spell. At the beginning of your next upkeep, if you don’t control a demon, the exiled spell’s controller copies it twice and may cast the copies without paying their mana costs unless you pay 3 life per copy.

Create a version of Ashiok as a pirate.

Zethi, Arcane Blademaster copies each card with a kick counter on it and then a player may cast the copies, Would a card with Magecraft such as Archmage Emeritus get 2 triggers off this allowing me to draw 2 cards?

What if I instead chose not to cast the copy, would Archmage Emeritus still allow a card to be drawn?

Vega was in an early version of this deck, but I discovered fairly quickly that I can't rely on things regularly coming out of suspension until turn 7 or so. As the game progresses the effect will become better, but I think less specific triggers are better in general.

A similar card I'm really considering is Archmage Emeritus - even though it costs one more mana and doesn't fly, it will be more effective at drawing cards especially on turns where I'm storming.

From looking at this list, I'd say what it needs is less card selection and more actual advantage. Lorien Revealed, Plea for Power, and Distant Melody (naming drakes) could all find a spot in here. Also really surprised to see Snap is not in the deck. It's a free drake.

Cards that reduce the cost of Instants and Sorceries would also suit this deck. Unfortunately the non-creature ones aren't very good. If you wanted to drop the Polymorph strategy, (which personally I would because it's going to make games very samey, not that I have anything against other people who decide to do it this way) Curious Homunculus  ^Flip and Baral, Chief of Compliance would both be great in here. There's also Thunderclap Drake from the new commander set, and you probably already know about Archmage Emeritus.
