Rielle, the Everwise seems very viable. As does Runechanter's Pike, Glamdring, and Think Twice. Desperate Ravings seems more reliable that you'd think. Crackling Drake gives you a heave hitter. Desolate Lighthouse and Geier Reach Sanitarium seem good too. Anvil of Bogardan is reliable and gives you no max hand size. Oona's Grace lets you filter out mana flood situations. Drownyard Temple is ramp from the graveyard. Burning Inquiry is pseudo mill. Academy Ruins can get stuff back if you discard it. Niv-Mizzet the Parun and his variations seem solid. Reliquary Tower is awkward but viable. Goblin Lore means you have a heavy hitter for a turn. Exalted Flamer of Tzeentch and Charmbreaker Devils gets you stuff back... as does Revolutionist.

Consider cards like: Seasoned Pyromancer, Young Pyromancer, Faithless Looting, Faithless Salvaging, Past in Flames, Lier, Disciple of the Drowned, Dark Confidant, Ripples of Undeath, Goblin Lore, and maybe consider Sensei's Divining Top. CHeers!

Icbrgr on Psychic Frog and Emrakul

If I have Psychic Frog in play and i decide to use Burning Inquiry/Goblin Lore and Emrakul, the Aeons Torn is one of the random cards discarded; could I in response to Emrakul going into the graveyard activate the Frogs ability to exile 3 cards to prevent shuffling my graveyard into my library?

omg I love this! I'm running a hollow one variant but I really like how this list seems to play around Orcish Bowmasters by not playing Burning Inquiry/Goblin Lore! Great call with the LOTR creatures and Persist!

Certainly a fun game... I cant say for certain how many fetch lands I played or how many/combinations of Goblin Lore/Burning Inquiry or Street Wraith were played (or even a good guess as to how many cards were left in the library at the time).. and I know it's not a guarantee but in the moment I felt it was lol.

When your running Goblin Lore and Burning Inquiry why not unironically run Tibalt, the Fiend-Blooded lol... yoooo that frog seems like a great idea! I was using Oona's Prowler as a pressure/discard outlet but the frog seem like it could be great! I'm gonna give it a try over tibalt lol

Saccox, that is a very good suggestion. I suppose splashing red would also provide some very useful discard options like Goblin Lore or other legal substitutes for Faithless Looting. I will definitely give Key to the City some testing when I get the chance. The number of lands is definitely not optimised yet. I will try running 18 lands, but since I am not including fetches in this budget deck, I am always very scared of running too many lands. Especially considering the low mana curve.
Thanks for the suggestions! :)

With Eruth, Tormented Prophet, you'll be playing most of the game without a hand. Cards like Spellbook won't do too much, as there's already no limit to the number of cards you can impulse draw with Eruth. If you're going for the no hand strategy, cards like Goblin Lore, Breakthrough and Faithless Looting are really strong. Cards that benefit from having nothing in your hand like Ensnaring Bridge are fun, and stuff like Lion's Eye Diamond (if you can get your hands on one) and Avaricious Dragon that forces you to discard your hand are fun, too. I'm not sure if Alhammarret's Archive works as you're not technically drawing cards. Bosium Strip is underrated and fun to throw into any spellslinger deck, especially Eruth because you'll be casting a lot each turn, so your graveyard won't have too many creatures and whatnot. Bonus Round is great too. Wild-Magic Sorcerer is pretty stupid with Eruth. Here's a deck I made you might want to check out: https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/eruth-edh-2/
