Cards I recommend:

Felhide Petrifier for obvious reasons.

Bomat Courier to test. You need a one drop creature. Felhide Brawler possibly. I do not like Felhide Minotaur, the Petrifier is better and you need all your 3 drops to be worth it. I know Ragemonger helps in that regard.

Metallic Mimic :)

Fatal Push over Cast Down/Murder. Even Terminate is better. Dreadbore if you want to start a sideboard.

Just some thoughts. Happy building!

Hey Crow_Umbra!

Thanks for the suggestions! I see what you mean about Bomat Courier, will definitely replace it with something that can draw more easily.

Part of the reason I am including lots of lands is because of an interesting article I read by someone at channelfireball about how if your commander and average mana cost is low, it can be more effective to have more lands over mana rocks, since lands are generally more efficient in the early turns (a hand of three lands, and a few 1 and 2 drops can have a greater board presence in the early turns and cast a 3 cost commander in turn three, whereas a hand with 2 lands and a mana rock will be forced to play the rock to cast the commander). That all being said, the rocks can lead to bigger turns later in the game, so I’ll see if I can find the article, but I’ll also try replacing some lands.

In taking a quick look at your deck, I think you could probably drop a few lands. 42 is a bit high, I get that you're not running many mana rocks aside from Sol Ring and Arcane Signet. I think you could safely swap a couple of land slots for a couple more 2 mana rocks like Talisman of Conviction and the others in Mardu colors, mostly since you can play extra rocks, but not additional lands each turn. Your mana curve is fairly low as-is at 2.73 that 42 lands seems like you could potentially mana flood. 35-38 lands is a nice sweet spot, especially with some mana rocks and a low curve like you have.

Bomat Courier could probably be cut. Definitely some hoops to jump through to get the impulse draw. Minas Tirith (if you're not against Universes Beyond stuff) and Chivalric Alliance might be safer options for some additional draw.

You could probably replace Memorial to Folly with Vault of the Archangel, as it's kinda slow as a tapped land and recursion piece.

Cathars' Crusade could be another potential replacement, mostly because the counter tracking in games can become annoying.

Spawning Pit is kinda meh, especially with some of the other more impactful "free" sac outlets you're currently running.

Maybe Pyrite Spellbomb or Bomat Courier could be alternative artifacts for more damage output?

Bomat Courier has been doing okay.

I feel like that will likely be the next card I replace, or trade out for more Dragons Rage Channeler, another Gut Shot and another Underworld Breach

To be honest my local meta is very weird. It's a bit smaller than most I think but Smash to Smithereens was the card I was going to comb through my collection to find. Because I knew about Chalice of the Void but haven't seen it yet.

This looks like is really coming along nicely! I'm curious how Bomat Courier is performing for you? I have always been afraid to try it myself.... Underworld Breach is an amazing idea too!

I also see you are really heavy on the 1 drops.... I dont know if Chalice of the Void is in your meta or not but id Highly suggest Smash to Smithereens as a sideboard option.

Bomat Courier awesome EDH card. Not sure about it's application in this strategy.

Light Up the Stage blatantly powerful but the listt has become focused and cluttered.

Vexing Devil genius. The list is heavy on artifacts but at its core it is a 1 mana 4 damage deck. I will find room for a playset.

Grim Lavamancer where to begin. Love this card. It's the creature version of Cursed Scroll. Both of these are squeezed into so many of my EDH decks. 2 damage did not fit the 4 damage theme. When I build a Legacy Burn list both of these cards will be main board.

Red fetch adds what to the strategy?

Have you considered Bomat Courier Light Up the Stage Vexing Devil Grim Lavamancer or mountain fetch lands?
