ClockworkSwordfish on Aura Reanimator

How often do you find the tokens from Occult Epiphany are a big help? They aren't nothing, for sure, but I can't help but wonder if Careful Study would be better in its place. You have to pay four mana for the Epiphany to cycle more cards than the Study, and I assume that getting your graveyard loaded ASAP is a major priority.

Since you're running a ton of huge auras, you might also be interested in Iridescent Drake or even Academy Researchers. The drake is slow and not super efficient, but it is an all-in-one package once your graveyard is stocked. The Researchers don't quite mesh with your stated goal, but... well, with 12 auras to go around, it isn't too hard to imagine dropping one on turn three and immediately going to town. Just some ideas!

have you considered the Iridescent Drake + False Demise or Abduction combo? Sac the drake with either to any sac outlet it returns and you put the aura back on, rinse and repeat infinitely. sac to Altar of Dementia for even more spicyness

Yeah, I got mine too. I might even put the Iridescent Drake back in for the combo.

Heyo, so my Esper Control//Stax deck running Lady Evangela as the commander is neat, but needs considerable work before trying to get it listed here, so here's my mono blue combo deck I made running Iridescent Drake as the commander:

Bitch You Thought - Iridescent Demise Combo

The deck likely works better 1v1, but it is geared towards multiplayer. The stax deck is more of a 1v1 deck due to it's shittiness.

Lazav, Dimir Mastermind - not really stealing, per se, but close

Reins of Power - especically if you have no creatures at the time

Boneyard Parley - politics!

Grim Return - they finally kill their creature to get it away from you and...no. Yours again.

Ink-Eyes, Servant of Oni - repeatable

Iridescent Drake - blue! Also, enchantments!

Djinn of Infinite Deceits - in case they try to escape by playing creatures with downsides or something? Just a fun card in general.

You could also do something like Mirage Mirror for temporary 'stealing' (or to copy your thieves for more stealing)

Sadly you can't use Pygmy Hippo or you could steal their mana too.

It does not target. You may attach it to a creature with Shroud, or a creature with Hexproof your opponents control.

The only part about an Aura that targets is casting it as a spell, which has you specify a legal target based on it's definitions (in this case, simply any creature).

To name a few examples which don't target on shifting auras: Crown of the Ages, Aura Graft, Iridescent Drake
However, aura shifting not being targetted isn't a general rule, as evidenced by Aura Finesse, for example.

Hey, nice deck, love the commander

What you Should take out

Auras Show

I think that The Chain Veil is really bad if you run less than 5-7 planeswaqlkers and you are running only 1

Agoraphobia it looks like a really little effect but I have never tried it so I can't really know, if you feel it helps when you use it then keep it

Cunning You shouldn't play cards wich go to the graveyard immediately and have small effects because it gives card advantage to the opponents

Fishliver Oil This one actually gets point for art and name hahaha. But if you wanna play more competitively you should drop it,

I can't see your flying auras actually helping a lot, I mean, some are good but the ones that cost 1U are really lackluster unless they have another good effect like Ghostly Wings

Viscerid Armor I don't see why to play this, +1+1 is really not enough to guarantee a slot.

Creatures Show

All the creatures except for Silver Myr, Sun Quan, Lord of Wu, Apprentice Wizard and Iridescent Drake

Things you can add.

Instants Show

Capsize this card is crazy once you get enough mana, and it is a wincon if you have infinite mana as can bounce everything you opponents control, combos nicely with Great Whale

Creatures Show

I like to have some fatties in almost any deck in EDH some I recommend for mono blue are :Frost Titan, Lorthos, the Tidemaker and Inkwell Leviathan are some I'd use.

Palinchron is a really good creature for combos as it combos with a lot of cards, some of wich are good by themselves (High Tide, Tolarian Academy, Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx).

Grand Architect can help you power out a lot of mana quickly and combos with Pili-Pala

Sorceries Show

Tunnel Vision this is crazy for this deck, it puts a lot of auras in the GY that you can get back while tutoring for a card

Windfall will help you get rid of dead cards while putting auras in the GY

Artifacts Show

Diviner's Wand might be a fun adittion with your commander

I have more thing to say but it took me like 2 hours to make all of this :P
