I like the uniqueness of this deck. Elesh Norn  ^Flip is def a cool creature worthy of building around.

My advice is to reduce some of your higher MV spells and replace them with lands. I think you want at 22-24 lands to support casting spells that cost 4+.

I haven't played or played against this commander but I think it has a identity crisis from the get go but I cannot quite explain why.

Excise the Imperfect is a flavor win however... I think I'd rather play almostany other removal like Oblation

Elesh Norn  ^Flip little expensive but the saga side is the type of effect that ends games its even better for your deck that incubates alot

Norn's Choirmaster potential for many proliferate triggers. But expensive effect. Worth considering for the t4 commander t5 this curve out.

Lich-Knights' Conquest Mass reanimation that can sac incubation tokens.

Haunted One tribal buff w/undying when your commander attacks

Invasion of New Capenna  ^Flip okay Removal that flips to a buffing tribal equipment

I looked at bargain cards to find something awesome as you can sac tokens/artifacts. But I didn't one that seemed to be worthwhile. That may be worth looking at.

Happy brewing

In short, once Elesh Norn  ^Flip flips over to The Argent Etchings  ^Flip and finishes its last chapter with Narci, Fable Singer in play, will Narci see the saga as having a costing cast of zero or four?

Corruption of Towashi gives rewards for flipping. Elesh Norn  ^Flip is loads of flipping fun.

Housegheist Whoops thought I responded to your earlier comment! You're right that I missed some of Elesh Norn  ^Flip's utility at first. She's a much more aggressive card than I thought.

Mirkwood Bats is a good card and would do work in the deck, but I don't think it's better than anything in the current list. I'd sooner play Nightmare Shepherd because, while his effect doesn't stack, the tokens and their death triggers do. Bastion of Remembrance is also 1 less mana and does double with Teysa.

jelwell Made an update since you commented! I added some thoughts on the new cards there. I've prioritized cheaper, creature-based card draw for more consistency, but Bolas's Citadel is still a great card. If it hits the board, you basically win, but I've had too many games where it clogs my hand forever. It'd probably be better with some high CMC support cards like Dark Ritual and Mana Vault.

Elesh Norn  ^Flip looks like a great addition to this deck, but outside my budget. Great recommendation though!
