I like it! Verity Circle seems like a powerhouse here, maybe consider more copies to ensure it sees play. Aside from replacing inferior taplands like Tranquil Cove with something like Hallowed Fountain or Flooded Strand, the mana curve and the sources you have available look decent enough. The lands I mentioned are quite pricey though, so if it’s more a budgetary concern then the ones you already have are suitable enough.

Venum,

In regards to your manabase, you still haven't answered what your budget is looking like. A manabase tends to be the most expensive (and important) part of any EDH deck. Does your playgroup allow proxies?

Side tangent - the upcoming set Edge of Eternities has recently teased the return of shock lands. Shock Lands are some of, if not the best lands in modern magic. With this upcoming reprint they will be more accessible than ever so I highly recommend you get them their prices lower, namely: Watery Grave, Breeding Pool, Godless Shrine, Hallowed Fountain, Overgrown Tomb and Temple Garden.

You slightly misunderstood what I meant when I asked about your meta. Do you use the bracket system that was introduced by Wizards? Using that to describe your deck (or the one you wish to build) will make this process go over much more smoothly. Seeing that your Meta includes the infamous likes of Najeela, the Blade-Blossom and Yuriko, the Tiger's ShadowGC you are facing some very strong commanders that would likely have decks that would place them in Bracket 4 (using the aforementioned bracket system as a reference). But, and a very big but here - it depends on what kind of decks these commanders helm. Do they have big expensive manabases with lots of (monetary) expensive interaction cards? e.g. Mana Drain, Force of WillGC, Mana VaultGC

It seems here that you have a misunderstanding of infinite combos. The aforementioned combo of Thassa's OracleGC and Demonic Consultation are used almost exclusively in the alternate format known as Competitive EDH or cEDH. That is an essential combo for the format, and is expected to be part of a deck running {U}{B}. To you that may look like someone who just doesn't want to engage with other players - but to those who wield the combo in a game where other players are using similar strategies this is what everyone signed up for. Infinite combos are a staple of Magic and Commander. I understand that you are a person and you are absolutely entitled to your opinion. But please, have consistent logic here: Infinite Combos may be unpopular to some players, but for the love of Father Yawgmoth Poison is a FAR less popular mechanic in Commander.

Not saying you shouldn't use it - I for one embrace it. But using Poison will give you a distinct political disadvantage at just about every single table you show up to. Once the other players know, they will more than likely work together to tear apart your boardstate and shove you off the table.

Try this:

Replace 2x Hallowed Fountain with 2x Breeding Pool.

Replace 4x Misty Rainforest with 2x Flooded Strand and 2x Windswept Heath.

Replace 1x Island and 1x Plains with 2x Forest.

I know why you did what you did, but give my setup a shot for a few playtests.

The problem with your manabase is that it's quite scattered, even if the numbers seem to check out in the pie chart. You need lots of green pips, and lots of isolated pips in general, so you can't even out on fetches and shocks.

Draw forests more naturally. Get dorks online. Fetch pips you didn't draw. Minimize lands like Hallowed Fountain that can't pay for your multicolored spells in a deck with more than 2 colors. What I mean by that is, those are UW in your deck, so hallowed fountain sucks, since you're gonna need another land anyway to pay for multis, but you need green too. Possibly get rid of the fountains alltogether.

Hope this makes sense. Source: trust me xD

Cheers!

Mainboard Modern format transfer Suggestions:

• 2x Battlefield Forge + 2x Mountain < 4x Arid Mesa

• Battlefield Forge < Hallowed Fountain

• Battlefield Forge < Steam Vents

• Sokenzan, Crucible of Defiance < Ziatora's Proving Ground

• Chained to the Rocks < Leyline Binding

• Play with Fire < Lightning Bolt

maybe cut {X} Showdown of the Skalds for {X} Manamorphose... maybe a 2-2 split?
