you'll want 24 lands when you have spells that cost 4. you don't really need Cloudshift, so thats an easy swap. i think you want more token producers than actual creatures, then you can run Intangible Virtue. Honor of the Pure ain't bad either.

DarkKiridon: Ephemerate is definitely better than Cloudshift. I -think- I have one, I'll definitely have to swap those out. Thanks!

As for Avatar's Wrath...I'm not sure -how- deep I want to lean into the blink strategy. I have the blink cards in there mostly for the quick saving a creature when it's direly important to keep one creature safe from removal.

Wouldn’t Cloudshift provide more immediate value than Omen of the Dead? I can’t imagine the scry is all that helpful. Cloudshift blinks something directly, skipping the recast step from the enchantment.

I second the suggestion of Conjurer's Closet, but also Displacer Kitten, Eldrazi Displacer, and maybe some other flicker effects like Cloudshift, Ephemerate, or Flicker.

You could also run some "exiled cards matter" themed pieces since your commander can exile things from the graveyard. Riftsweeper seems like an interesting insert, though maybe not the best option. Riftsweeper is, however, hilarious against Suspend decks

Yesterday on Profane Prince interaction with Reanimate

Any double-faced card has only the properties of its front face while it's anywhere other than the battlefield (or in the case of Modal Dual Faced Cards like Blex, Vexing Pest  ^Flip, the stack).

The card will go back to being Westvale Abbey while it's in the graveyard, so it can't be targeted by Reanimate.

If an effect does reanimate a DFC, it'll only reanimate it on its front side unless that effect specifically says otherwise. Crucible of Worlds and Splendid Reclamation can each bring back out the Westvale Abbey, but it will only be a Westvale Abbey. You'll need to transform it again. Same principle with triggered reanimation effects like Marchesa, the Black Rose.

The card being treated as its front face is an immediate thing that doesn't use the stack. I.E., if Ormendahl dies, there is no moment before it flips back to Westvale Abbey in the graveyard where you are able to cast Back for More to bring it back first. Likewise if Ormendahl is targeted with a Cloudshift, it'll be exiled and immediately turned front-face up again, then reenter the battlefield as Westvale Abbey.
