Instant

Exile two target artifacts, creatures and/or lands you control, then return those cards to the battlefield under your control.

+1 for the comic strips, those are great!!

For commander synergy, have you considered insant Blink cards? You could set the number to whatever the opponent just cast, Blink onto the stack, it resolves first, and triggers the commanders ability.

Things like Ghostly Flicker, Essence Flux, Blur, Planar Incision, Displace etc

So since you asked, here's my stupid idea: Mill yourself. a ton. I know, that doesnt really work with the zubera's but there's more. Once you have 6 or more creatures in your graveyard you can profit. With Archaeomancer, Ardent Elementalist, any mana filterer like Prismite and any sac outlet like Makeshift Munitions in play you can win with the red zubera. Cast Ghostly Flicker and return the flicker + Songs of the Damned to your hand. Cast songs, filter 2 black into a blue, cast flicker, repeat. accrue infinite mana. Cast Exhumefoil or some reanimation spell to return Ember-Fist Zubera to play, sac it, and cast flicker again this time returning the flicker and exhume to hand. Repeat. The zubera don't care how many are in your graveyard, just how many went there this turn. It's like going to an arcade and just pushing a baskteball in and out of the hoop to get a ton of points. This is stupid, and a horrible infinite combo, but its a thing.

These creatures are just horrendously bad. For advice otherwise I can just say play control, maybe some fogs, lots of card draw and ramp. Try to sac your board and maybe do some Songs of the Damned shenanigans to recur one or two but really don't stress about making the strategy good. It's jank, and is quite funny, and holds a special place on the more casual wincons of decks

Flarhoon13 on Unleashing the Maelstrom: Yidris' Controlled Chaos

Played a couple games. Yidris sputtered out, again, probably should have mulliganed.

Second try, Yidris kept hitting land drops. Suspended Wheel of Fate, Turn 3 Waste Not. Turn 4 Primal Amulet  Flip, Turn 5 Dark Petition. Taylor on Henzie "Toolbox" Torre, mostly, had hit me down to 3, the other players could have killed me. Taylor destroyed my Waste Not in response to the Wheel of Fate being cast; he channeled Boseiju, Who Endures. No matter. That gave me the Island I needed to cast the Turnabout that I would not have been able to cast otherwise. Main phase, cast Seething Song to flip into Primal Wellspring  Flip, allowing me to copy Emergent Ultimatum. Got to cast Time Warp, and Ghostly Flicker while Dualcaster Mage got shuffled back. No matter. Used Increasing Vengeance to copy the original Emergent Ultimatum, again! Will and Thomas had already conceded but Taylor started arguing about the stack before angrily leaving, repeating, "I'm done! I'm done!" Would have had infinite mana with some extra turns, probably an Aetherflux Reservoir to boot.

Yidris: Controlled Chaos, budget power won a long, kind of crazy game. Darryl cast Jokulhaups via Discord, Lord of Disharmony, which looked like it was handing Nolan the game, since he was able to make his Rakdos, the Muscle commander indestructible. I drew well and cast the greatest thief in the multiverse, Dack Fayden, to steal Darryl's Sol Ring. I cast an Aetherflux Reservoir, and a Sunbird's Invocation. The next turn, I cast a Berserkers' Onslaught, Sunbird's Invocation revealed an Inevitable Betrayal, which I used to get Nolan's Molten Primordial. That stole the Rakdos, the Muscle, a Professional Face-Breaker and an OG Jodah, Archmage Eternal. I attacked Nolan with his own commander and Darryl's Tainted Strike made it lethal, even as I attacked him with Jodah, Archmage Eternal, also for lethal (he was at three life). Doug had enough on board to kill me but I untapped and played Karn's Temporal Sundering, bouncing my Dualcaster Mage. In my extra turn, I had the Dark Petition to grab Ghostly Flicker. Ghostly Flicker copied by Dualcaster Mage does go infinite. Infinite mana, then Seasons Past meant I was totally infinite. I could recur the Dark Petition for Seasons Past and cast them infinitely plus so many more, Aetherflux Reservoir was a win condition

Thanks for the suggestions! I really like Winding Way especially. Ghostly Flicker I'm not as sure on, but you're absolutely right it would work really well with Coiling Oracle and Archaeomancer, but if I added both I'd turn this into a more familiars type of list with your suggestions and cut back on the lands.

In testing on modo I've found that I almost have too many additional land effects in the deck, so I guess I could start there when looking to fit in Winding Way at least. Do you have any suggestions on cards to cut? It feels tight even though I'm still brewing around with it. While I said earlier that I may have too many additional land effects in the deck, Arboreal Grazer gives me great ground game against red.

Hi!

This is a neat idea, have you considered adding Winding Way? It might be a good way to dig for more lands or your creatures. Something else to consider might also be flicker effects such as Ghostly Flicker which could allow you to flicker your creature etbs and allow you to add multiple additional lands to the field (it would also work if you decided to add the Coiling Oracle in your maybe board). Maybe add in Archaeomancer while you're at it if that's a style you might want to play.

Again it's a very neat idea, good luck brewing!
