suarkdivad I chose not to run Eldrazi Displacer because I wanted to avoid the insta-win infinite combo it has with Wernog, Rider's Chaplain and Krark-Clan Ironworks. There are only a few other creatures it can blink for benefit so I don't think it's worth the slot. Thanks for the upvote!

I've been brainstorming this exact deck and here you've already built it. Looks great.

It won't make the deck better, but in my version I'm going to use Odric, Blood-Cursed for yet another type of artifact token. I'm doing it mostly because I opened one in a pack and committed to using it, but looking at your creature base you'd get a few blood tokens from his etb. Of course you'd want Eldrazi Displacer but that's good in your deck already with Krark Clan and other etb creatures.

NewHorizons that's a bit cheesy, but I like it. Eldrazi Displacer and Sword of Hearth and Home have been added to the deck

Sphinxes are such a good one. I kind of like Isperia, Supreme Judge with effects like Siren's Call or Bident of Thassa. I had tried it for a while, and it wasn't amazing, but it did make some big swings sometimes and it does feel good to punish players who are playing, disengage and wait to combo, decks. Blink effects really helped the deck with sphinxes. Blinking a blocker to gain cards off Isperia and then double up on Etb effects was pretty fun. You can even blink Azor, the Lawbringer off Eldrazi Displacer if you want to be mean about it : )

Also, Siren's Call absolutely loves Isochron Scepter and Unwinding Clock if you have creatures to punish with it.

From a competitive modern perspective, i’m surprised the following cards don’t get more love/hype:

• Mayhem Devil
• Grist, the Hunger Tide
• Gemrazer
• Grim Flayer
• Eldrazi Displacer
• Drown in the Loch

One, maybe it would be funny to call the list Hinata-Kun XD

Control

Render Silent, Counterflux, Disallow for a bit more counter magic

Hullbreaker Horror: I have been really loving this card lately, it is expensive (CMC) but helps to keep control of the board

Opposition: works with Willbreaker and other cards I will suggest

Reality Shift, Fateful Absence, Generous Gift : spot removal

Malevolent Hermit  ^Flip: counterspell and protection

Teferi, Time Raveler, Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir, and Grand Abolisher protect your shennaigans

Drannith Magistrate: stop you oppnenets from casting their commanders

You could run Orbs with Urza and Opposition

Baral's Expertise

Supreme Verdict, Winds of Abandon, Wrath of God: Wipes

Blinkers

Brago, King Eternal

Deadeye Navigator

Eldrazi Displacer

Thassa, Deep-Dwelling: slow, but consistent

Blink Targets

Skyclave Apparition

Venser, Shaper Savant

Dockside Extortionist

Spellseeker: search your X spells

Cyberdrive Awakener: if you want to win off your rocks and treasure tokens

Draw

Whirlwind of Thought

Esper Sentinel

Sea Gate Restoration  ^Flip: may as well if you're playing blue

Shorikai, Genesis Engine: fun card, can be a win con between being an 8/8 beater and some combos involving Intruder Alarm

X spells

Distorting Wake

Mass Manipulation

Disorder in the Court: this can help for draw, protection, and "Blinking"

Smoke Spirits' Aid: I don't know if it fits, but could be spicy

Comet Storm

Call the Coppercoats

Combos

Deadeye Navigator/Eldrazi Displacer + Peregrine Drake = Infinite mana

Elsha, the Infinite/The Reality Chip + Sensei's Divining Top + Thassa's Oracle/AetherFlux

Hullbreaker Horror + Mana Crypt, Sol Ring, Mana Vault: Infinite bounce only need 2 rocks

Dockside Extortionist + Deadeye Navigator: can generate infinite mana

Grand Architect + Pili-Pala: Infinite color mana, only need a Blue to initiate, I would have at least 2 infinite mana combos with all the X spells

Synod Artificer (I wish Hinata worked for abilities + Swift Reconfiguration + Gilded Lotus = infinite mana

win cons (Outside of combos)

Metallurgic Summonings: you make big tokens and gives recursion.

Guttersnipe: ouch

Monastery Mentor: tokens

Shark Typhoon: tokens

Jin-Gitaxias, Progress Tyrant is made for this list

Urza, Lord High Artificer: can make use of a lot of artifact tokens that can be created in this list and can be an outlet for infinite mana to cast your deck

Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite: probably good if you run a lot of token producing cards like Saheeli, Sublime Artificer, Monastery Mentor, Shark Typhoon, Metallurgic Summonings, Manaform Hellkite, Talrand, Sky Summoner, Kykar, Wind's Fury

Other

Primal Amulet  ^Flip

Kykar, Wind's Fury

Hey, m4rs, I'm back with some spicy tech for your deck, this time regarding the big tokens themselves:

My suggestion, whenever possible, is to run creatures over other spell types for the same effect: they synergize better with your deck, despite being more vulnerable to boardwipes. (It makes you more explosive, which is better the higher you go on power level).

• Have you considered Quartzwood Crasher? It is already a trampling beater that gives you even bigger trampling beaters.

• How about Emeria's Call  ^Flip replacing a basic Plains? It creates tokens for you while protecting your team. Otherwise, it is a shock land version of Plains.

• Overwhelming Stampede is great when you have a 5+ power creature on the board. Unfortunately it doesn't apply to the tokens created thereafter.

• Delina, Wild Mage can copy your legendary creatures as non-legendary, just for Ghired to copy them even further. (Throw in Parallel Lives in the mix and we're salivating already.) Maybe you're lucky enough and roll 15+ three times in a row?

• I believe you should bring Aurelia, the Warleader back to the deck. It has great effect by itself, but it also comboes infinitely with Helm of the Host for infinite combat steps.

• Harmonic Prodigy and Wulfgar of Icewind Dale double your Ghired triggers. The former can be cloned for extra spice and the latter also works with Etali, Primal Storm, Aurelia, the Warleader and Combat Celebrant. (Too bad Isshin, Two Heavens as One is black :-/)

• If you're relying a lot on "when-something-enters-the-battlefield" effects, Panharmonicon might be a good friend to you.

• Did you try Rionya, Fire Dancer, Bramble Sovereign and Mirage Phalanx as extra copies of Avenger of Zendikar, Combat Celebrant and Dockside Extortionist?

• In that matter, Hofri Ghostforge gives all your creatures a second life should your opponents dare removing them. (I played against him, and it is ANNOYING to have to kill things twice to get rid of them.) The bright side is that the exiled cards come back to the graveyard after they LEAVE the battlefield for any reason, so you can recur them.

• Talking about recursion, have you considered Timeless Witness? It shines against wheel decks (Wheel of Fortune) or mill decks (Maddening Cacophony), just as Dollhouse of Horrors do.

• Iroas, God of Victory gives evasion to your creatures while protecting them from blockers.

• Marisi, Breaker of the Coil should maybe return to the deck if you're afraid of being attacked when going all-in, since you removed Intangible Virtue. It also has the neat bonus of your opponents having to answer before you declare who you're attacking. (I know it doesn't scream "token" off its textbox, but it is a repeatable Disrupt Decorum effect which clears the board for your next attack).

• I believe Selesnya Eulogist might be swapped out for Scavenging Ooze or the recently spoiled Lion Sash. Despite not populating, they exile any card and are cheaper mana-wise. The Sash can also be equipped to a creature to buff a creature and avoid creature wipes.

• Did you consider Flawless Maneuver and Teferi's Protection as protection for your creatures? They can replace Boros Charm and Heroic Intervention if you're running low on card slots on the deck.

• Worldly Tutor is a second Eladamri's Call.

• Farewell is Austere Command's brother. (I would run both in my white nonblack decks.)

• Since you run Cultivate, maybe run Kodama's Reach instead of Bloom Tender?

• Since you run the Moxen, Gemstone Caverns fills the same role of exchanging cards for tempo, while being a land. (You can always choose to not go first if you win the dice roll.)

• How realiably can you activate Eldrazi Displacer's abilities? Battlefield Forge, Karplusan Forest and Brushland might help with the colorless part of the cost.

Now, as always, I want to suggest some removals:

• I love Mimic Vat in battlecruiser games, but it doesn't pull the same weight on quick games. (It hurts to write it, but my beloved Soul Foundry might also only belong to Christmasland, since, if you don't have the mana to cast AND copy the creature right away, your opponents might see the danger incoming and remove the artifact before you get any value off it.)

• Flamerush Rider requiring an attacking creature target right away means that your options are too limited. In my opinion, Delina, Wild Mage and Rionya, Fire Dancer are better cards for the effect.

• Tendershoot Dryad might not belong here, since Ghired cares about quality, not exactly quantity of the tokens.

• Esika's Chariot. I understand it already comes with its tokens for crewing, but getting a token copy of TOKEN creatures AFTER combat is too narrow for my taste (and you don't have noncreature tokens). Again, Rionya and Delina are better suited for this job.

• Sword of Hearth and Home is good protection stapled to decent blink and ramp effects, but the ramp comes too late for Ghired to care, the blink is unreliable and the protection can be better executed by Shalai, Voice of Plenty, Saryth, the Viper's Fang (trample + deathtouch is nasty), Privileged Position or Asceticism.

• Response / Resurgence is single-use. Aurelia, the Warleader's effect is repeatable.

• What are your experiences with Warstorm Surge? I usually leave it out of my deck if I have access to Terror of the Peaks, since 6 mana is a lot in my games and the Terror is tutorable by cards you already run.

Lord_of_Cardboard A couple of budget land replacements could be Mortuary Mire or Witch's Cottage. If you want you could just add a swamp and use some enchantment tech to recur creatures; Haunted Crossroads or Phyrexian Reclamation are very solid budget options that are much more affordable, cheap to cast and use, and are a harder to remove permanent type. Another really easy place to cut a lot of cost of the deck would be the mana base; if you don't care about using Eldrazi Displacer you can cut a lot of the colorless lands and you won't really lose that much utility. I would try and fit in Smothering Tithe if you can afford it, that card is excellent and it really gives you an edge. Other than that you might consider cutting the expensive/hrd to find planeswalkers like Daretti. He is nice but not integral to the gameplan. I hope your version comes together!
