I feel like getting things rolling before too many turns pass is still the weak point. More ramp and/or early game plays would probably help. In terms of budget, I’m not looking to spend a whole lot on making more changes. The high-dollar cards that happen to be in here are mostly just luck from the things I’ve been able to collect while playing for almost 30 years.

Right now the draw is limited to the “impulse draw” effects like Outpost Siege, Chandra, Torch of Defiance, Oracle's Vault and Experimental Frenzy. I agree a wheel or two in here would help. I know I have a couple Wheel of Fortune in a casual goblin deck that doesn’t get much play. For some reason I thought it was banned in Commander. Do you think Elkin Bottle is any good or is it too clunky?

I agree with your suggestions for Mind Stone and Ancient Tomb. I’ll dig around and see if I already have any extras. I think a Fire Diamond might be good as well.

I think I’ll keep Experimental Frenzy. It’s great as a mid to late game Future Sight when I start running out of things to do.

I do not believe it would be a good fit in this deck given it only trigger on like 13% of your deck. That being said, it's definitely worth trying out as it's ability is fun and potentially useful/explosive. If you were to add him, one cut could be Oracle's Vault.

The issue with him is that he costs 6 mana and doesn't do anything upon cast/etb and requires another huge mana spell to get an unknown payoff. I believe he would be good as his own commander. I would build him with a bunch of cheap rocks on the low end of curve, a little bit of middle costed spells (for cascade and curve balancing) and a large amount of costly spells.

FormOverFunction the recent bout of Proliferate cards certainly give Oracle's Vault a few more options to get setup - though I think it's still a far way from being playable. 4 mana to get this into play, and then another 2 to get the first brick counter on it is a massive ask, especially considering that you'll still need to use various helper cards to get it up to the 3 required counters, and then even after all that you additionally need some way to fix your topdeck to reliably cast something big/impactful. Its just sooo many hoops to jump through that I can't imagine any deck using this being consistent or non-fragile.

Oracle's Vault is probably a LITTLE better now that every instant and sorcery has had proliferate stapled to it lol

Some examples of As Foretold decks are here : example 1, example 2, example 3, example 4. You'll note that the common theme is that As Foretold is only useful for cheating out cards like Ancestral Vision, Crashing Footfalls, and Restore Balance. These decks also use stuff like Electrodominance and Finale of Promise to ensure they're able to cast those no-mana spells reliably.

I don't think there are many Oracle's Vault decks out there because the card is just bad, and requires a lot of support to even remotely do anything - on top of that it's super-slow and super-easy to disrupt. I found this deck that plays it, though the deck itself looks pretty janky, and i'm not convinced it would be any good, especially for the amount of $$$ it costs.

There won't be any decks out there that use both of those cards together, as they're both trying to achieve very different goals (and on top of that Oracle's Vault isn't really very playable).

Thanks, wallisface. Are there any example decks out there that use stuff like Oracle's Vault and As Foretold???

Added new Professional Face-Breaker removed Oracle's Vault. Played it once realized with no proliferate, its SLOW as hell!

Uba Mask is the big brain card for this deck. Not only does it allow you to milk triggers from Vega, but it also acts as mill protection.

Urza, Lord High Artificer can act as a mana sink to play from exile.

Oracle's Vault can be a handy cast from exile tool too.

Isochron Scepter/Elite Arcanist can act as a huge engine for this deck. Obviously you can run the combo with Dramatic Reversal, but you can also get value from imprinting other nonbos too.

If you want you can also check out my own list, which is in a more artifact direction, here Vega Finds the Center of the Tootsie-Pop.
