I know you said you like this deck for more fun so I'd suggest adding Door to Nothingness. It can even be fun in big group games too!

Delphen7 Good point about losing combo pieces. I would try to keep this casual and friendly, but letting people know of the risks is a good idea.

I thought about Jace, Wielder of Mysteries + Tainted Pact, but Pact will stop at basic lands. If someone builds a draft deck with no more than one of each basic land and wins, they deserve that win. Demonic Consultation is better, but it slips under my desired 6+ mana. The Malignus one is great, and I had Door to Nothingness and Coalition Victory on the list, so good ideas there.

Sunbird's Invocation triggers on cast, not resolution, so I guess it won't work with Approach of the Second Sun...

Thoughts

I think it's an interesting idea, I'd just make sure the people you're playing with are emotionally ready to potentially lose a bomb or combo piece. Otherwise (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻) might happen

You touched on mana fixing, but another way to solve Caerwyn's issue would be to have high quantity of colorless cards, so that everyone can play them regardless of what colors they're actually on.

Additional Combos

I don't think Sunbird Invocation combos with a single Second Sun.

• Jace, Wielder of Mysteries + Tainted Pact
• Malignus + Berserk / Choose Your Weapon
• Coalition Victory / Door to Nothingness -- If someone pulled either of these off in a draft I would be impressed

Second post because I forgot to look for 5 color mana ramp spells like Timeless Lotus or Channel the Suns. Alternatively you have the makings for a Door to Nothingness deck here too.

Righteous Aura has not been reprinted in a long time, so I definitely would like to see it reprinted, in this set.

Akroma's Memorial, Door to Nothingness, and The Immortal Sun could all use reprints, to keep them available an inexpensive.

Some thoughts:

• What is your sideboard for Karn, the Great Creator? It feels like one of the 4 Chromatic Orrery and Door to Nothingness should be here, to give you more ways to acquire both of those cards.

• I get the purpose of Sphinx of the Guildpact and Transguild Courier, but imo they're a bit too cute to be useful. I'd put Voltaic Key in the same bucket.

Welcome to the club, Mattzr01!

The deck description says it came from the Commander's Quarters YouTube channel. Is it a direct copy, or did you use that deck as inspiration? What lines of play are used or recommended in the video?

If the intent is to win by using Door to Nothingness on each opponent, you want to focus heavily on generating mana and slowing the game down. Since you need two mana of each color and a specific card in play to knock out an opponent, your immediate concerns should be reaching those marks. Ramp, color fixing, and card draw and tutoring should make up most of your early game, using your control elements to protect your key cards and prevent an opponent from getting too far ahead.

On the subject of control, don't waste your control effects on trivial threats. Cast your Plaguecrafter or Foundation Breaker or Austere Command or whatever when you see a major threat or obstacle that must be removed for you to win. Knowing the difference between an annoyance that can played around and a kill-on-sight card/combo is critical for slower decks.

I understand and respect that you're not looking for card suggestions with this thread, but there are a few cards in there that I don't fully see the purpose for. They don't appear to help you win in any significant way, unless I'm missing a combo or something.

Above all, have fun with it!

I am operating under the assumption that this is intended to be a Door to Nothingness gimmick deck on a budget. With that assumption I would actually have to disagree about it looking like a bunch of cards thrown together. There six broad categories that cards fall into. Black tutors that let you get anything either to graveyard or hand. Control elements since Door to Nothingness is a slow wincon. Ramp and fixing since you need WWUUBBRRGG. Draw to find the other pieces. Recursion to reuse vital pieces. Combo to win/generate value.

Under the same assumption you need to ramp to get double of each of your colors and then find and loop Door to Nothingness with recursion effects. And loop the recursion effects with sac outlets and Kenrith, the Returned King's last ability. Any mana not used for ramping during the early game should be put into drawing to find more ramp or playing control pieces to slow down opponents. One of the most effective control moves against creature-based decks is going to be having 4 mana worth of creature ability cost reduction and loop Plaguecrafter with Kenrith to Diabolic Edict each opponent for only {B}.
