I suggest Disciple of the Ring

Finally, an Adeliz deck! My first recommendations are going to be Mystic Speculation, Haze of Rage, and Mizzix of the Izmagnus. Buyback spells in general work really well with Adeliz and cost reduction effects also apply to the buyback cost. Disciple of the Ring is also a creature that I personally feels belongs in a deck like this.

If you want to get crazy, Eye of the Storm and Talent of the Telepath has the potential to get absolutely nuts. And since copies cast by Eye of the Storm are still "cast", Adeliz gets her triggers.

Hey, I love the discussion, but don't want to clutter @StopShot's page. I am someone who pioneered multiple of those Netdecks, which sort of makes the cEDH variants on the old Captain Sisay (I made the Seton, Krosan Protector/Mox Amber setup into my own version of a Bow of Nylea finish in the Paradox Engine lists, pre-ban) decks, as well as the Aminatou/Tezzeret line, the more popular current Yisan and multiple semi-popular new Sisay, Weatherlight Captain lines.

When it comes down to it, many people in the cEDH community work to optimize the lists other people (myself included) pioneer. Someone makes the shell, the combos, the innovations, the others metagame it, tune it for optimization, and though people take my combos, my innovations, I love what they do with them.

I've optimized lists too, Control Zur, various Consult piles, etc. I understand I am better at innovation. Assuming people that takes popular combos are net deckers is often incorrect, the cEDH community is small, and everyone I've ever seen or heard of has been tuning decks to their metagame. I don't know who you've met who honestly just netdecks, but many of my friends are amazing deckbuilders and players. Not to mention even if they 1 for 1 buy a deck whole, they can still innovate in playing.

@dingusdingo isn't someone I know particularly well. They have always been helpful, and after checking through their decklists, I found they (No idea if it was by coincidence, or they read my primer, or someone who was inspired by it) to show off my Prime Speaker Vannifar line, featuring Spellseeker -> Vitalize into Archaeomancer -> Disciple of the Ring in the description of his list, and Chakram Retriever as his (assumedly) go-to 5 drop untapper.

Both 5 drop lines were originally my (only, I worked with a group to make a working line for PSV in the hours following it being spoiled) innovations (Tidewater Minion was the original it was summoning sick however) on the cEDH list. Despite this, he innovated on top of it. I had seen the Ezuri pile brought up by @Soren841 (not sure if he pioneered it or was the one to find it fit in the shell) but the lines to get there weren't the exact same as any other lists.

This, alongside the goal of redundancy in untapping left the list still powerful, but simply more in the combo than the interactivity of the list. Testing this idea is the birthplace of innovation, no one I've seen goes into cEDH copying checklists, they are inspired by other pioneers and support the format. The best decks in the format and the best combos aren't all stolen, someone made them, they were improved time and time again, and many are being improved as we speak. Assuming that you know immediately how to beat them and assuming your opponents are too stupid to beat you is a fallacy, and the people you have gone against are either extremely bad cEDH players or people that don't understand the community and leech on it. I love this niche community. I don't respect your distaste for it, but feel that you've only met some bad cookies.

ProximaNova's "Make an Izzet artifact or enchantment that makes drawing the best part of your turn" to catch the page up and keep my challenge current.

Convoluted Experimentation

Enchantment

Whenever you draw a card for the first time in a turn draw an additional card. Then if those cards share a type reveal them then choose one at random. You may cast the chosen card without paying its cost and as if it had flash. Exile the other spell.

"NOT EVEN NIV MIZZET KNOWS WHAT YOU'RE DOING!!!" Ral Zarek to the new guy

Ok, that catches it up. Current challenge is mine above. "Make a legendary leader for the Disciple of the Ring."
