Scytec on Tiamat

beside tiamat in your edit page, put CMDR in asterisks, that will denote it as your commander.

As for cards, i would start with Farseek, Explosive Vegetation, Rampant Growth, Kodama's Reach, Coldsteel Heart, Mind's Eye, Rhystic Study, Mystic Remora, Fertile Ground, Dawn's Reflection, Sphere of the Suns, Mask of Memory, Swords to Plowshares, Path to Exile, Counterspell, Vanquish the Horde, Wrath of God, Semester's End, Pongify, Beast Within, Chaos Warp, Vandalblast, Merciless Eviction, you need some answers, consitent ramp, and tons of draw. These are a few of the cards/effects i would consider or search for if i were you to start with. Hopefully they give you more ideas as well. You're gonna want to run 37-39 lands in my opinion. I'd probably start with 37-38 if i were you i think. Let me know if you think of anything else you want to know about. I tried to keep these mostly budget. A few are kinda expensive, but most are $5 or less. Silence is another fun one to consider.

Made Updates for testing:

• Replaced Reality Shift with Pongify. Lower CMC on pongify, a little easier to cast.
• Replaced Panharmonicon with Force of Negation. Lower CMC more interaction, one less clunky win more cards
• Replaced Sphinx of the Final Word with Enigma Thief. Final Word's ability rarely comes into play, adds more direct interaction potential, can potentially cast enigma thief for much cheaper.

The philosophy of blue cards like Pongify and Ravenform is that they do not destroy, they merely transform permanently, and destroying and replacing with a token is the mechanically best suited way to do so. Like Turn to Frog, but permanently. They've found flavorfully better ways to do it by auras like Ichthyomorphosis, enchanting the target to change its shape, but that enchantment can be broken, the transformation isn't permanent. When you lay down a Curse of the Swine, you lose the soldiers and gain the pigs, there's no way to get the soldiers back from the pigs. Ever since Polymorph this has been a blue effect, and only recently it is moving into red, with Transmogrify and Lukka, Coppercoat Outcast.

I also was very pleased to see that WotC has decided that blue should not be able to destroy or exile creatures, making cards such as Pongify, Rapid Hybridization, and Ravenform color pie breaks, since destroying any type of permanent is against blue's philosophy.

Just some advice: you don't really have that much interaction. There is only one piece of single target removal and one counterspell in the whole deck and they're both the one Drown in the Loch. The other interaction are all situational (Aether Gale needs 6 targets to resolve) and just bounce things not destroy them. Destroying would get the creatures in the graveyard for you to reanimate. Doom Blade, Go for the Throat, Pongify, Rapid Hybridization, all budget cards to destroy creatures. Also, how do you interact with a problem enchantment or an artifact? Feed the Swarm and Ravenform are both great new cards for UB to have at least one answer to non-creature permanents after they've hit the board. I don't like to use x/10 to discuss a deck but I think you may overestimate with a 5 since there's little to no actual interaction. Otherwise this is a cool list! Thanks for sharing it.
