I recommend 35-36 lands with one of them being War Room so remove Cyclical Evolution, remove Deep-Sea Kraken, remove Rift Sower, remove The Thirteenth Doctor, remove Tolarian Kraken, remove Rotating Fireplace....

Add Clockspinning!

Good deck name. Thoughts on these? Fireshrieker, Brass Knuckles, Strionic Resonator, Adric, Mathematical Genius, Teferi's Ageless Insight, Alhammarret's Archive, Curiosity, Curious Obsession, Clockspinning, Ripples of Potential, Serum Snare, Thrummingbird

Hey man, here's some synergies!

Clockspinning, Fury Charm, Dust of Moments, Timecrafting, Quicken, Borne Upon a Wind & Emergence Zone are all fundamentally super strong here.

I'll stop here and let you decide if you want more recommendations before I get out of hand lol.

Oh and sorry if I'm being annoying but what's your plan with clones like Sakashima? Multiple sources of rebound are redundant, so IMO copying your commander isn't that impactful.

(Also, Teferi's Time Twist/Ghostly Flicker/Clockspinning seem decent for turning over the land-side back)

Buyback seems like an easy value engine Capsize, Clockspinning, Forbid and Shattering Pulse.

Can i pay buybacks such as Clockspinning with As Foretold? Or can i atleast pay remove the 1 converted mana cost and then pay 3 for buyback separately?

Wuddup! Vadrik, Astral Archmage is so busted, man. Probably the best {U}{R} Commander p4p imo. I've been brewing him for a while now.

I see you're already running Seething Song, which is great. I'd highly recommend adding Desperate Ritual & Pyretic Ritual as well. Functionally having 2 copies of Dark Ritual in a {U}{R} deck is insane. Mana Geyser is pretty decent, but at Sorcery speed and at a minimum cost of {R}{R}, it's really not worth it compared to the others.

I would also recommend Mystic Retrieval & Mizzix's Mastery over Call to Mind & Finale of Promise respectively. As well as adding Past in Flames.

2 pieces of Equipment that I noticed shone very brightly with this Commander are Conqueror's Flail & Commander's Plate. The added bonus of cost reduction makes their power here difficult to overstate.

Buyback is a popular mechanic in typical Vadrik decks, but the only ones that are truly worth consideration are Capsize, Reiterate & Clockspinning. Haze of Rage & Seething Anger are obviously great, but they don't facilitate wins with the same frequency as those other ones. Sorcery speed sucks.

Never doubt that you need those Tutors, son! Solve the Equation, Reckless Handling, Merchant Scroll, Fabricate, Bribery & Acquire are all pretty much too good to pass up here. Reshape can also be great, depending on your Artifact list.

Free spells like Misdirection, Blazing Shoal & Commandeer can be pretty great here, given that they are likely still cheap to cast if you can't cast them for free.

Lastly, try to get yourself copies of Sea Gate Restoration  ^Flip, Shatterskull Smashing  ^Flip & Jeska's Will for this one if you can. Amazing!

Peace!
