hmm, i agree with your analysis of Breath Weapon given you already have some boardwipe capability. another potential cut would be cutting like one copy of Energy Refractor as its really just playing as copy 5/6 of Prophetic Prism and is definitely a little worse than it

If you're only going to play 19 lands then I think it'd be safer to lean more on the 1-cost landcyclers, Troll of Khazad-dum and Generous Ent, than the 2-cost ones. It's really important for you to be able to make the step from 1 to 2 so you can start casting Grapple with the Past, Malevolent Rumble etc. and make it to 3 to get your game plan started for real.

I see you have Maul Splicer in your maybeboard, I highly recommend a couple of these as just a good Pauper Tron piece (in my probably outdated opinion, having not played the deck for many years) as well as a good friend to Maelstrom Colossus for the trample.

I think Prophetic Prism was recently unbanned, so you can replace Energy Refractor and find space for a second copy as well.

Spawn Breeder {12}

Creature - Eldeazi

When Spawn Breeder enters the battlefield, create twelve 0/1 colorless Eldeazi Spawn tokens. They have {T}, sacrifice this creature: Add {C}.

20/1

That could easily become an infinite combo piece. Consider in an Izzet deck with Deadeye Navigator and Fervor. All you need is some type of mana filter, such as Energy Refractor amd suddenly you have infinite ETB triggers, infinite bodies and infinite mana off all colors.

Nasty stuff, man.

You know what I'd like to see? A well balanced and flavorful Vampire Samurai.

So that's your challenge.

And for added challenge, if you'd like, he or she must contain {W} in their identity also.

This is an awesome decklist! Warehouse Tabby is such an awesome card. I think Okiba Reckoner Raid  ^Flip is probably out of place as the saga trigger exiles, rather than going to the graveyard. If you need mana fixing to turn Ashnod's Altar + Rancor + Warehouse Tabby into a combo(does need Grim Guardian on board to actually win the game) a great option might be Energy Refractor! Plus it draws on etb to help find your other combo pieces

Here are some good options to replace Prophetic Prism! Energy Refractor is my goto, the fixing loses you a mana but you keep the card draw. Shire Scarecrow provides a blocker and cheap fixing but no draw. Chromatic Star gives you the card and the lossless fixing but is a one time use. Also not for mana fixing but Myrsmith and All That Glitters just got downshifted to common in CMM and might be fun for this list. Cool deck! :)
