Show and Tell or Flood of Tears serve as extra ways to cheat big things in. I also run Jin-Gitaxias, Progress Tyrant because two copies of Expropriate or extra turns is better than one.

I’ve found in my adventure deck that it’s really helpful to have effects that bounce creatures back to your hand, like Flood of Tears and Crush of Tentacles, are very helpful allowing you to cast your adventures all over again. Alora, Merry Thief is also good for this plus can get you past a wall of creatures your opponents may have set up. Enjoy the adventure!

I think he means that the deck that don't rely on certain cards, Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait is very strong no matter how you build, all Narset, Enlightened Master need is big spells and extra turn spells, Grand Arbiter Augustin IV can make your opponents have Flood of Tears

While some commanders rely on certain cards and strategy, if you don't have those cards or stradgy then the top tier deck may easily crushed by some lower tier decks

Hey, looks good, nice cuts. Striped Riverwinder is a good add, I added it too since it's a fast way to setup Runo. I also added Waker of Waves as another 6 CMC + creature who can discard itself to setup Runo.

For some possible cuts how has Flood of Tears been? I just don't like mass bounce spells that will bounce Krothuss (have to transform Runo again) as well as all the tokens he's made. Kederekt Leviathan is a sea monster who does this. Why bounce your own stuff when you have ways to only bounce opponents?

Millikin is subpar and self-mill is less good with Dimir then say Sultai where you have green to recur any card you mill. Looting is more powerful because you draw and have control over what card(s) you discard. Lightning Greaves's has limited interaction since because of shroud it can't be a haste source for attacking creature who Krothuss wants to copy.

One card I would love to try in cEDH is Dovin, Hand of Control . Turn one Mana Crypt this guy, especially if you're going first, should be backbreaking.

Other than that, Flood of Tears is hilariously good. Oftentimes you get to the point where you have several Mana rocks and dorks in play in addition to an assortment of creatures, and this just resets the board except you have your scariest thing in play and probably one or two Mana dorks/rocks, meaning you take the way the game had been going and now you're ahead on Mana and are totally winning.

Update May 12, 2021

Part the Waterveil OUT Alrund's Epiphany IN

Since foretell is an alternate casting cost which allows us to cast a spell at instant speed, this is just a strictly better card in this deck. In general with Mizzix we'd rather play on other people's turns than our own, and to be able to stick an extra turn of our own in the midst of our opponents' turns is a huge upgrade.

Devastation Tide OUT Flood of Tears IN

With Mizzix these cards will usually cost the same, but the Miracle cost of Tide is rarely a boon to us, whereas flood's ability to immediately put Mizzix back on the battlefield is a huge boon.
