DreadKhan on Commander Deckbuilding Advice - A …

I mean there is always Roon of the Hidden Realm that blinks stuff and is in Bant, some of the best blink colours? It used to be a real house of a Commander, but now we have stuff that's just way quicker and with a better top end, so you don't have to be stuck in Bracket 4. If you blink something like Yorion, Sky Nomad you can blink a bunch more stuff. You can also throw in good old Brago, King Eternal as a value piece (every time he sneaks in he blinks all your relevant stuff). A real feature of Roon is that Green can help you tutor up creatures, meaning you can find your Archaeomancer more reliably.

The other option I'd suggest is Grand Arbiter Augustin IV, and you'd be more into using flicker spells and benefiting from the discount to make them better, while slowing down everyone else. This would be a higher power deck potentially, but would also be harder to run.

I'd go with Roon if you want a less pushed deck (Bracket 2 or 3), or something like GAAIV if you want Bracket 4 blink to work.

This discussion reminds me of a deck of mine a bit, if you're in mono-Blue and you have enough mana and tutoring you can easily set up a game state where you can constantly return stuff from your graveyard to your hand (where you can recast), I used Talrand, Sky Summoner and instead of Fogs I used stuff like Aetherspouts and AEtherize (and Polymorphist's Jest haha) to ruin people's days, I used a mix of Proteus Staff and a low creature count (and having those creatures draw extra cards) to set everything up, and then juggled Stream of Thought and Call to Mind to get anything I want back into my library, where Proteus Staff can reorder my library to then draw said card. FWIW if you have infinite mana (I used Dramatic Reversal and Isochron Scepter for infinite mana) I think you can just infinitely replicate your Stream of Thought to mill out everyone but you, not quite winning on the spot but very close.

I guess you could use Valorous Stance and cut one protection spell this offer you more choice, maybe Isochron Scepter you have alot of targets for it

Angus lost another long game to Kykar, Wind's Fury, who killed us with Underworld Breach (baiting away my Perplexing Chimera with Narset, Enlightened Exile) Frantic Searching 20 times into Isochron Scepter imprinting Dramatic Reversal, with a Sol Ring for an infinite storm count and enough Grapeshots to kill us all. I would have been able to kill Harrison with my Uyo, Silent Prophet, which had 10 counters from Jesse's Orzhov Advokist but Jesse sent a sorcery speed Generous Gift at Uyo. Gluntch, the Bestower giveth, and he taketh away.

I had extended the game with a Cyclonic Rift and a Sublime Exhalation into a Faith's Reward but I died holding an Enchanted Evening I never drew a use for.

I decided not to use Cast Through Time I removed Planar Portal and have a new win condition Exsanguinate and an infinite mana generator in Isochron Scepter and Dramatic Reversal with a few mana rocks out.

I made a deck like this one, but I have a few ideas I want to suggest. Fog Bank won't do any damage if it attacks so it really is just a wall for defense. I threw an Isochron Scepter in mine since there are a lot of really good 1/2 drop instants that can be used in this deck or should I say reused. Lastly in mine I put an Approach of the Second Sun with tutors. This deck is super easy to turn into Pillow Fort as well.

Mine is a bit out of date with the changes I made to it recently, but it should give you a general idea.

Isochron Scepter added. Grim Monolith removed. Now I have 2 Null Brooches haha!

If I cut anything for Isochron Scepter, it would be Grim Monolith. I don't want to use those other counterspells you mentioned. You don't have to agree with Deprive either.
