You need to add a Grindstone and Painter's Servant. 2 card combo, 6 total mana and you can instantly mill out your opponents library on turn 3. Turn 2 if you run some ramp cards. I'd just run 4 copies of each and a vampric or demonic tutor. You will mill out your opponents library every time ez pz.

Added a few cards but still trying to stay away from easy infinite combo's which is why Painter's Servant and Darkest Hour is not in here

I was looking for changing around my Yisan cEDH deck a bit and I like your lines of play, it's interesting to see a mono-green not focus Craterhoof (I mean, I still do but I just love that big ol' frog too much). I just thought you might like to know that Painter's Servant was unbanned and would work wonderfully with Lifeforce.

None of the above post makes it faster...

If I were you I'd focus on early control elements. Or a Talisman. Or splash G for Hierarch, Birds.

Maybe add some more legends (Naban, Kami of the Crescent Moon) for Mox Amber Training Grounds and that biomancer? (UG) makes Displacer blinks cost W.

Heartless Summoning makes Augur cost 1U, Displacer cost W. Watcher for Tomorrow costs U four a dig 4 draw.

Ooo.ooO Or Fevered Visions type deck.

And you should be playing Painter's Servant with Visions.

What do you think about Painter's Servant it is a second Darkest hour. It don’t disable your commander sacrifice ability and is more tutor/reanimate able

Mortlocke What's really unfortunate is the RC can drastically change the style of game play, card prices & commander choices at their whim. For example, the Paradox Engine ban wiped out a TON of great EDH decks that are no longer viable.

The other thing, with such drastic bans what about the insider trading? Perfect example is the $ that was made over Painter's Servant becoming legal. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a lot of behind the scenes agendas for profits.

GeminiSpartanX, thanks for the comment. Painter's Servant would turn every permanent I control Blue and speed up the combo by a single turn (T3) since believe it or not this deck is very tight on mana, I can forgo paying to activate Grand Architects ability (efficiency). This is predicated upon playing my creatures with Aether Vial instead of hard casting them though.

wow i didnt even know Painter's Servant was modern legal... coulda swore that was a banned one.!

Maybe adding more cantrips like Opt and Remand with aditional means to achieve an infinite combo could help with speed/consitency? Palladium Myr + 2 Myr Galvanizer.... Retract is also worth considering when relying on artifacts to stave off an Abrade.
