Curiosity

Enchantment — Aura

Enchant creature

Whenever enchanted creature deals damage to an opponent, you may draw a card.

DreadKhan on Rafiq

What do you think of Bident of Thassa? My reasoning is that when I tested the deck's primary concern was running low on cards. To solve this the Bident draws off of any creatures that can get in, and it's other ability can be useful as well to force blockers into attacking (great so your Putrefax can get in). It will also let other players get a free crack at that player as they had to throw the kitchen sink at opponents, so the card can have subtle but powerful impacts on the board's state if it starts getting clogged with creatures. On the downside it's clunky at 4 mana, but fwiw Double Strike will mean 2 cards from that one creature.

The alternative that's much lower to the ground is something like Curiosity, but this won't help you if all you have are Grand Abolishers and no Rafiq, Curiosity is better when you're doing well, Bident is better when you've fallen behind or are at parity.

This look like a very interesting budget version of Kotis. I've been playing him for some time and I think I'd add the following to your list (I've tried to keep the maximum price at around 5 dollars per card):

  • Aqueous Form: a very simple enchantment that simply makes Kotis unblockable.
  • Arcane Flight: very cheap to cast and an excellent addition to making Kotis harder to block.
  • Combat Research: draw cards upon damage and grants Kotis some boost and protection.
  • Curiosity: why not draw some cards upon damaging opponents?
  • Elusive Otter: its sorcery-adventure side (Grove's Bounty) is a great way to make Kotis a little stronger, and you can still summon a prowess-Otter afterwards.
  • Eternal Thirst: creatures tend to die a lot in a game of commander, so banking on that with this enchantment for Kotis seems to make sense. The lifegain is fun too.
  • Felix Five-Boots: what's better than stealing stuff once per attack? Stealing stuff twice per attack of course!
  • Gonti, Night Minister: this card is ideal in a four-player (or more) pod. Gonti diverts attention away from you because he makes it much more lucrative for all your opponents to attack anyone but you. The fact that for every spell that you don't own but cast, you also receive a treasure token just synergizes extremely well with Kotis.
  • Hydra's Growth: doubling Kotis' power/toughness every once in a while seems very beneficial.
  • Strong Back: insanely powerful in that it acts as an Ancestral Mask that also cheapens all further aura casting and equipping.
  • Tarrian's Soulcleaver: something dies, Kotis gets stronger. Vigilance is also very strong on a being like Kotis.
  • The Thirteenth Doctorfoil: so for every spell that you cast from opponents' libraries, Kotis can gain more power/toughness. To top it off, the doctor allows you to untap Kotis after an attack; double trouble for your opponents!
  • Villainous Wealth: basically Kotis in sorcery form.
  • Well Rested: one of the most ridiculously strong auras I've ever seen, especially considering its cost to cast. For just two mana, every time Kotis untaps you gain life, draw a card and you make Kotis stronger!
  • Wrecking Ball arm: instead of bae power/toughness 2/1, why not make it 7/7? Also makes him a bit less blockable.

Hope this helps you in some way; good luck!

Decisions, Decisions isn't legal

Draw ping but no Curiosity/Ophidian Eye/Tandem Lookout?

Sigil of Sleep works too, as does Virtue of Courage I guess

Maybe e.g. Ojer Axonil, Deepest Might  Flip?

That depends on how much life your opponents have. If you have more cards in your library than everyone's life total, you win. If not, you deck out.

Let's say your three opponents have 2 life each, and you have 50 cards in your library. You draw a card, which lets you create an Insect token from The Locust God. This triggers Agate Instigator, which deals 1 damage to each opponent. State-based actions are checked, and each of your opponents are alive with 1 life. Curiosity triggers, you draw your cards, and the cycle repeats until Instigator deals damage again. When SBAs are checked after the second damage from Instigator, each of your opponents have 0 life and lose.

Now, let's say two opponents have 2 life and one has 200,000 life, and you have 50 cards in your library. As above, two opponents lose after two cycles. You've drawn four cards, created four tokens, and dealt 4 damage to the last opponent, who now has has 199,996 life. You continue for 46 more cycles, emptying your library and bringing the opponent down to 199,950 life. The next time you try to draw a card off the Curiosity trigger, you draw from an empty library and lose.

As a side note, Curiosity is a "may" effect, so you can choose to stop the cycle any time Curiosity triggers.

So for this scenario I have The Locust God and I have the Agate Instigator with the Curiosity on it. If I draw a card, I will make a body, triggering the instigator, which will deal 1 damage to each opponent and put 3 curiosity triggers on the stack. I will draw the next card which does the same thing. So my question is, if I do that loop enough to kill the table, will I kill the table or will I be stuck in an infinite loop of triggers that actually won't end the game until I draw out my entire deck and lose?

Cool deck!

I think 3/4 of the Niv-Mizzet cards would do well, and synergize really well with feywild visitor, netting a free token with every card draw (This goes infinite with skullclamp I just realized) Niv-Mizzet, Dracogenius is 2 mana draw a card at instant speed, Niv-Mizzet, Parun is great, and Niv-Mizzet, the Firemindfoil is a bit slower but would still work well. Parun and Firemind also both go infinite with Curiosity. They're all a bit expensive mana-wise, but if you're making enough treasure tokens that should be fine. Very cool idea!

Is the choice to no run Curiosity deliberate to avoid a 2 card combo?
