Ultima, Origin of Oblivion is such a rude dude. Why are more people not playing this guy? Since you are already playing cards like Basalt Monolith, along with Voltaic Key, and Forsaken Monument and Grim Monolith why are you not playing Rings of Brighthearth. It gives you infinite all the things off of a lot of the cards you are already running.

Also Static Orb and Winter Orb power combo with Icy Manipulator because the actual ruling of Icy Manipulator is that you can tap those permanent right before your turn allowing you to play all the things, untapping Static Orb and Winter Orb last during the untap step.

Nice, lots of flavor in the deck. I like it :) Here's some more flavor one could add:

Should you be looking for more ideas on what to do with Hylda, you can check out my own Hylda deck. Have fun with this brew.

Hylda is one of my favourite decks, as well. Your deck looks fine, but let me suggest some nice tools I have in my deck:

Opposition is obviously powerful. But have you ever seen Flood? Junk Winder and Court Street Denizen don't go infinite with Hylda by themselves, but you don't need much mana to get a lot of value out of them. Ballynock Trapper untaps easily and taps stuff for free. Fine card for the deck. Sunblast Angel is a great boardwipe, and if you don't need the body, Don't Move does the same. Icy Manipulator is a classic. Finally, Dreamshackle Geist is basically a second Timin.

Thoughts?

If you're dead set on Celestial Convergence, Axis of Mortality, Mirror Universe, or the much worse Soul Conduit are probably entirely essential to your gameplan. They are also searchable with your signature spell

Moat, Magus of the Moat, and Blazing Archon, Mystic Barrier and Ensnaring Bridge are also good ideas for your pillow fort. Ghostly Prison is nice, but these effects are always better when multiplied. Windborn Muse and Norn's Annex are also good ones.

Cosmic Intervention and similar spells are probably good ideas too.

Relic Barrier and Icy Manipulator are best friends with Winter Orb and Static Orb

Solemnity instakills

Ferropede?

Nyx-Fleece Ram is better than some of your walls, Daxos, Blessed by the Sun probably is too.

Dusk / Dawn is your best board wipe in my opinion. Also reanimates almost every card in your deck.

Renounce and Zuran Orb are good ideas to dodge mass removal or suddenly gain the life you need to win.

Add Reprieve. it is temporary, but it will allow you to dodge a counter, or you could use it to bounce your own about-to-be-countered spell back to your hand before the counter resolves.

Elixir of Immortality? might help against mill. not great though.

The One Ring costs life if you need it to draw, but pro everything is probably more than worth it, and the extra cards are likely to be as well.

This deck looks quite fun! Icy Manipulator Is basically another crown in the deck if you desire more of that effect. Dismiss into Dream also seems like a fun way to turn your tap effects into "murder mode". Teferi, Who Slows the Sunset also seems quite versatile. Citadel Siege also might be nuts depending on what you're up against. Good luck & happy brewing!

Color denial on its own isn't a win condition, it's just disruption, and you need something else going on to make the single-land deniers playable. Blood Moon shuts off multiple lands and Spreading Seas replaces itself, so that's why those are the ones that get play.

But that said... Contaminated Ground and Pooling Venom can be win conditions, if you use them as repeatable shocks in combination with Hidden Strings, Fatestitcher, or Icy Manipulator to force your opponents to use them even when they don't want to. There's a brew from about 5 years ago I have bookmarked that does that: For Assholes Only

Another idea I've had is a mostly-blue deck that denies the first few lands until resolving an Isochron Scepter with Boomerang imprinted to keep them stuck at 2 Islands forever. The final win condition is just Cephalid Constable and Venser, Shaper Savant beatdown.

Lodestone Golem, Cursed Totem, Sphere of Resistance, Chalice of the Void, Thorn of Amethyst, Trinisphere (the Totem does shut down Lord High Artificer just fyi)

Icy Manipulator, Relic Barrier, and Pacification Array can tap your orbs and spheres to make sure you aren't locked down by them as well (this is really only relevant if you aren't running Lord High Artificer as your commander).

There's a reason why there aren't more creatures with vigilance besides the angel, it's because there's no need for them. I'll use the creatures you suggested as an example. Let's say I play either Alert Heedbonder or Tajuru Pathwarden. What do any of the these do to help develop my strategy? Nothing, especially the Heedbonder. The Pathwarden at the very least is big, but that's about it. Nether of them help to keep my opponent's creatures tapped. Taranika, Akroan Veteran I actually stopped to think about a little bit. However, it basically works the same way as the others. Sure she can untap my creatures and maybe grow some of them a little bit, which is important to know as a lot of the creatures wouldn't receive that big of a buff, but there's someone else that can also "untap" while also being an Engine. Soulherder. It doesn't technically untap but effectively is the same thing. To wrap up this point about vigilance, the only creatures that would benefit from having it would be the Bounding Krasis and Icefall Regent. Another thing to mention is Evolutionary Leap, which can turn useless tapped creatures into something more useful.

Icy Manipulator is an interesting one, but is kinda mana intensive due to the mana cost. Thankfully, I found other cards with similar effects, like Pacification Array. While I think the deck has sufficient tapping effects, this is something that caught my attention enough to make me want to playtest it.

Thanks for the opinion and suggestions!
