Rishkar's Expertise

Sorcery

Draw cards equal to the greatest power among creatures you control.

You may cast a card with mana value 5 or less from your hand without paying its mana cost.

I would drop the lands that aren't allowed in his deck for lands like War Roomfoil, Karn's Bastion, Boseiju, Who Endures, Scavenger Grounds, Opal Palace, Myriad Landscape, and Blighted Woodland. And for the ones that aren't allowed you can drop for just basic forests. Land count is pretty strong. For draw along with war room there is Garruk's Uprising, Guardian Project, Stocking the Pantry, Greater Good, Lifecrafter's Bestiary, Rishkar's Expertise (which feels like a flavor win), Return of the Wildspeaker, Beast Whisperer, and I would say Toski, Bearer of Secrets is surprisingly useful depending on how often you get through.

I'll definitely look into Communal Brewing that seems wild without any "big" drawbacks

I have Legion's Initiative in my maybeboard, but did'nt saw the blink as defensive option, I'm going to switch for Legion's Initiative instead of Another Round

I updated the list to integrate :

Profet93 Thanks for the feedback!

Elixir should absolutely be in the deck. I own a few copies and I still always forget it exists.

Incubator's effect hasn't been needed. The deck can produce such a ludicrous amount of mana that the cost reduction hasn't been necessary.

Price of Earthcraft aside (which I know is a little rich considering I have Gaae's Cradle in the deck, but I've had that thing for years), I think I prefer the creature-based ways to tap my dudes without tap abilities such as Heritage Druid. If it could untap any land, I could easily see it being an auto-include. Probably something I'd proxy up and test out.

Glimpse is absolutely a contender, I think I just need to get some more actual reps in with the deck to figure out if I'd rather have it or something like Rishkar's Expertise in the deck.

Warden is super solid, I just like having access to the ability to shut off certain things that Elvish Hunter provides. Might chalk this one up to "I need more reps" to see if Hunter's ability is super necessary.

This list looks pretty solid. The one thing I wonder is if it could benefit from some creatures with power / toughness equal to the number of lands like Greensleeves, Maro-Sorcerer

Also is there enough Draw? Maybe Rishkar's Expertise or Shamanic Revelation

Profet93 Yup The Magic Mirror gets cheated out with the Commander, the discount is ignored here. It takes a few turns to start really driving the value, but the no max hand size is also nice.

Rishkar's Expertise is an interesting suggestion. It would probably result in discarded cards going over the max hand size. But that doesn't usually matter with 100 card libraries. So having the extra options could definitely be a boon. Not a whole lot of 5 cost things to cheat out, but there is some.

This deck sometimes runs out of steam depending on the draw. So I'll find something to cut for Riahkar's and see if it performs even better from the added draw.

Thanks for the suggestion!

How is The Magic Mirror playing for you? I know having only 11 instants/sorceries isn't too relevant given you're going to cheat it out with your commander. I wonder how impactful it is for draw. Why not add something like Rishkar's Expertise to give you immediate value + tempo?

I understand it is creature reliant, but the payoff is so huge potentially, especially since it doesn't target.

How about Genesis Wave instead of Rishkar's Expertise? The Wave is more beneficial in decks with a lot of permanents like yours, and will trigger a lot of Landfalls.
