Council of the Absolute would be cool as a commander. You could also name Persistent Petitioners and build a sweet mill deck

Council of the Absolute can't name a creature card, so it can't be used to discount Morophon, or do you use it to

Subjective Reality (Flicker Focus)

I have everything that comes with the Original Pre Constructed Subjective Reality deck, and everything inside the maybe board are all things that i can either afford or actually own.

I dont get a ton of chances to play commander other than 1 or 2 games on the weekend, but i want to get this deck all polished up before my friend holds a party that will be hosting Commander as one of the for fun events at his party. My biggest problem is that i lack the ability to polish decks when i am new to the format, and im feeling just as lost as i was when i started in standard.

if it helps, the cards i own on the Maybe Board are Gonti, Lord of Luxury, Kaya, Ghost Assassin, Esper Panorama, Temple of the False God, Venser, the Sojourner, Augury Adept, Oath of Teferi, Council of the Absolute, Sunken Hollow, Unknown Shores, Prairie Stream, Spell Queller (might have more but thats all i can remember off of the top of my head.

Wow cool deck idea! I've never considered alternative win methods like this before.

Since the goal of your deck is to win with either Azor's Elocutors or Approach of the Second Sun, I would add another of each. Some other excellent creatures to consider adding are: Council of the Absolute, Banisher Priest, and Trapjaw Tyrant.

I'm sure you've considered these other spells, but I'll point then out just in case: Pacifism, Bonds of Faith, Lyev Decree, Counterspell, Cancel, Mindstatic, Indestructibility, Captured by the Consulate, and Silence.

Anyway, looks great and I'd be nervous playing against this!

Cloud Key, Herald of War, Herald’s Horn, Oketra's Monument, Pearl Medallion, Semblance Anvil,

My wife's deck is blue white so she can run Warden of Evos Isle, Council of the Absolute, and Grand Arbiter Augustin IV

I like the Herald theme of the ramp.

i think a good add would be Authority of the Consuls for added life and redundancy to Blind Obedience

also have you thought about Council of the Absolute?

Citridon, umm that's a toughy for two reasons. First is there are few, only one in white: Voidstone Gargoyle, then, there are U/W cards like Meddling Mage and Council of the Absolute. Secondly, the fact that Runed Halo is an enchantment makes it super hard to remove. I prefer the Halo.

thanks for helping me more with the card draw, i have changed the Council of the Absolute and Resolute Archangel for 1 more Gitaxian Probe, another Seeker of the Way and a Anticipate, i am considering running even more, but i am not sure what i can change. I would love to play Dragonlord Ojutai, but he is a bit out of budget, but when i get a opportunety to get it cheaper i would do it as i do think he fits this deck.
