I don't know how you feel about infinite combos but you have chain veil, you have Rings of Brighthearth...an easy add here is Basalt Monolith. Basalt Monolith + Rings of Brighthearth make infinite colorless mana. Basalt Monolith is just an easy card for this deck because it makes a lot of mana off one rock which can be easily untapped with Teferi, Who Slows the Sunset or Teferi, Temporal Archmage. Speaking of planeswalkers who untap - consider Ral Zarek and Tezzeret the Seeker. Ral and Tezzeret untaps your rocks and can go infinite with chain veil. Tezzeret is also an excellent tutor for those key artifacts when you need them. He can fetch Ichormoon Gauntlet and The Chain Veil the turn he comes into play, both artifacts can be game winning.

Much appreciated! That's what I assumed would happen. Makes sense that you can only respond to the activated ability on the stack, at which point Ral is gone, no different than sacrificing a creature to pay an activated ability. Looking into building a Ral Zarek oathbreaker deck, reusing the [-7] ability as often as possible, so every little bit matters. Thanks again!

If a planeswalker has 0 loyalty, it is put to the graveyard as a state-based action. This happens before a player would gain priority.
In this case, if you used Ral Zarek's -7 ability and put him at 0 loyalty, he will be put into the graveyard for having 0 loyalty before you could target him with a bounce spell such as Alchemist's Retrieval. Do note that if Ral Zarek still had 1 loyalty after using his -7, he will not be put to the graveyard since he does not have 0 loyatly.
Relevant Comprehensive Rules:
704.3. Whenever a player would get priority (see rule 117, “Timing and Priority”), the game checks for any of the listed conditions for state-based actions, then performs all applicable state-based actions simultaneously as a single event. If any state-based actions are performed as a result of a check, the check is repeated; otherwise all triggered abilities that are waiting to be put on the stack are put on the stack, then the check is repeated. Once no more state-based actions have been performed as the result of a check and no triggered abilities are waiting to be put on the stack, the appropriate player gets priority.
and
704.5i If a planeswalker has loyalty 0, it’s put into its owner’s graveyard.

If Ral Zarek has seven loyalty on it and I [-7] it to flip five coins for extra turns, can I respond to the ultimate ability with Alchemist's Retrieval targeting Ral Zarek and return it to my hand before it dies, or is the [-7] going to remove it as an SBA tied to the payment to put it on the stack? My assumption is that it will be gone before I can respond, but I'm crossing my fingers I'm wrong. Thanks in advance!

Ral Zarek and Magewright's Stone are two more ways to untap your commander to have extra effects. Ral Zarek's ultimate isn't too bad either just really slow.

wallisface I disagree with with the every chaos effect need to 7+ mana as if that was a thing even i would play chaos as it just to unrealistic to a deck that every needs at lest 7 or more. As for cheaper chaos card affecting competitive magic (which seems to what you focus on exclusively) I've never herd of Chaos Warp make any splash and disrupting competitive even though it less than 7 mana nor any other "chaos" card (which is more like gambling than actual chaos since it based on coin flips) being played in competitive with the exception being and i not 100% sure on this Ral Zarek and Stitch in Time for the extra turns gained. So cheaper chaos effect are completely fine.
But you like the sacrifice heavy devils that's fine im not say your right or wrong

Narset Says "My Turn" *Primer*

Strionic Resonator allows you to flip 8 with Narset. Ral Zarek is handy for untapping mana rocks, Strionic Resonator (when you get extra combats in here.), or it untaps Narset when a blocker is absolutely needed. His ult is VERY easy to hit also and typically nets 2-3 extra turns.

Just some u/r cards that I really like. None of them are expensive or need reprints but I would like them with a cool border or new art.
