The rarity of Escape Tunnel seems to have become "Basic Land" as of its reprint in TMT. This affects pack configurations for cube drafts.

My suggestion is to commit more heavily to 0 mana value spells including, but not limited to, Darksteel Relic, Everflowing Chalice, Memnite and Ornithopter, in addition to what you already have in your deck and sideboard. Then you can either add any combination of Energy Chamber, Power Conduit and Rise and Shine to boost them up for later in the game. Otherwise, I don't see how you can get Erayo flipped on the turn you bring her out.

I think the important thing to remmber here is just because it needs four spells in a turn to flip, doesn't mean you have to bear the whole load. If you choose not to go the 0 mana value route, my suggestion is to move both of your copies of Chalice of the Void to the Sideboard and replace them and your copies of Reprieve with three copies each of Mana Tithe and Spell Pierce. That way you can cast counter spells on their turn and flip it on their turn. You'll lose out on the card draw a bit but with a full playset of Karn, late game card advantage should be chiefly from your sideboard anyway.

Speaking of Sideboards, I think you may have to rethink it. Unless you are going find a spot for Living Wish in your library, it should be exclusively artifacts. I think it would be important to concentrate in the early game to the Erayo/High Noon combo and then use Karn to bring out Mycosynth Lattice(expensive, money wise, but the only way to end the Karn/ML combo is if someone uses Inspiring Statuary to cast Introduction to Annihilation or Scour from Existence) to target Karn.

Leonin Arbiter is good, but you have at least five fetch lands where paying 1 life and then an additional to search for a land when you can play Rampant Growth for the same function doesn't make a lotta sense. If you insist on fetch lands My suggestion is to replace them with a full playset of Fabled Passage or a combination of Escape Tunnel, Evolving Wilds and Terramorphic Expanse so you can have a little more mana flexibility. Otherwise, I'd recommend investing in a full playset of Spara's Headquarters and add Crucible of Worlds to the sideboard. Then, at least, if you choose to keep Boseiju in your sideboard you can play it from the graveyard after using it's Channel ability.

I see the biggest weakness for your deck in the lack of a finisher. Using noncreature artifacts from the sideboard, activating Karn's first loyalty ability and then using Noble Hierarch's exalted ability to pump them up is the best option for this kind of deck. If you consider different cards for your sideboard may I suggest any combination of Encroaching Mycosynth, Mirror Box and Mirror Gallery for using Karn as your finisher?

I'm no expert on Stax, but these are the routes I would consider. I know this was a lot. Thank you for reading me out. I hope it helps. Happy Hunting!

Since your goal is to cycle through lands, you may want to swap out Command Tower, Kazandu Refuge, Rugged Highlands and Temple of Abandon for more fetchlands: Terramorphic Expanse, Vibrant Cityscape, Escape Tunnel, Mountain Valley, Fabled Passage, Jund Panorama, Naya Panorama, Shire Terrace, Promising Vein, Warped Landscape, Terminal Moraine, Demolition Field (this one also serves as removal), Urza's Cave, Blighted Woodland.

It looks like you're going with an Elemental subtheme. How about Zendikar's Roil, Silverglade Elemental, Embodiment of Fury, Embodiment of Insight, Ashaya, Soul of the Wild, Geode Rager, Undergrowth Champion, Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar, Lumra, Bellow of the Woods, Sandman, Shifting Scoundrel, Molimo, Maro-Sorcerer, Rubblehulk, Greensleeves, Maro-Sorcerer, Phylath, World Sculptor, Avenger of Zendikar and Rumbleweed to round off the synergies?

I would think about adding a few lands, usually Commander Decks will sit between 37-39. Your average mana cost is low, so 35 lands isn't too bad, but I think you should drop some of the lower power/lower cost cards and add a couple more synergy pieces or heavy hitters to close out the games. And try to find more useful lands with abilities, they really do some work in Commander.

Some cards you might want to think about replacing:

I was at a pioneer fnm yesterday. There was a deck I played against that was really cool that I hadn’t seen before. It was a dimir control shell that splashed green for two cards: 4x Spelunking and 4x The Gitrog Monster. The one other thing with the deck was the manabase. It was 4 Evolving Wilds, 4x Terramorphic Expanse, 4x Escape Tunnel, 4x undercity sewers, and a bunch of basics. All of the fetch lands triggered the gitrog monster to get massive card advantage. Another cool interaction was all of the fetches triggering Fatal Push. I went 1-2 against it with Esper greasefang, and it went 3-0 for the tournament. I was wondering if any modern players knew if it would be better in modern, since the fetch lands there are way better.

Venum,

Hi there! I have been running the one copy of Escape Tunnel. I may make other changes to the mana base in the future. I just re-vamped the whole deck and realize I need to make some changes. Playtesting for the next couple weeks and then I'll have a better idea what I need to do and whether or not my first run choices were solid or not.

Thanks for the input! I appreciate the post!

Nice deck with a straightforward goal!
May I add, in case someone may not have noticed, if you want your Commander's second ability to work, you could put some more fetchlands in the deck. (with Mindcrank here some may think Winter counts card types from all graveyards) There are some cheap ones, the casual ones: the Panorama Cycle from Shards of Alara that also give you 1 colorless mana and the upgraded Evolving Wilds and Terramorphic Expanses: Escape Tunnel, Riveteers Overlook, Maestros Theater, Cabaretti Courtyard. Also, Fabled Passage got reprinted in Bloomburrow.

But it seems you already know this, because even with adding some more fetchlands, you cannot rely on having Delirium with only 3 sorceries , 2 instants and 2 enchantments that can reliably go to your graveyard.

But this is a nice damage from afar theme! Your opponents will be dealt A LOT of damage by drawing those extra cards!

For the mana base, Escape Tunnel is strictly better than evolving wilds.
