Shortcut Seeker

Creature — Human Rogue

Whenever this deals combat damage to a player, venture into the dungeon. (If you aren't venturing through a dungeon, choose one of the dungeon cards you own from outside the game, put it into the command zone and put a venture counter on the first room of that dungeon. All effects of that room trigger. When you venture into the dungeon while you have a dungeon in the command zone, advance to the next room downward of your choice and triggering all effects of that room. When you have resolved the effects of the last room of the dungeon, remove that dungeon from the game. You can only venture through one dungeon at a time.)

Hey, you're welcome. Nice updates.

Omniscience + Acererak the Archlich is a neat combo for repeatable venturing and win condition, but Omniscience is going to be difficult to cast. Consider Resurgent Belief as a way to cheat Omniscience onto the battlefield with reanimation after looting it? Get Omniscience into your graveyard with Entomb , Unmarked Grave and Vile Entomber . These cards can also trigger Sefris if you instead get a creature such as Reassembling Skeleton .

Another direction to consider for Omniscience + Acererak combo is an infinite mana combo of Deadeye Navigator + Peregrine Drake which also can be repeatable venturing with any creature who ventures when it ETB since Deadeye can infinite blink it. Could include a card that draws when it ETB such as Baleful Strix that way you could infinite blink Strix to draw Omniscience + Acererak, to cast them with infinite mana to combo. Strix is a creature that's nice with Tortured Existence to recur to cast/draw again/dies again and has deathtouch defense.

Reanimate the Deadeye + Drake combo with Victimize by sacing Reassembling Skeleton .

One of the advantages Sefris has as Commander is he can be a repeatable source of venturing. Because of this you need less venturing from other cards. Consider cutting some clunky cards that venture and replace them with creatures who loot for more venturing with Sefris?

• Gloom Stalker : even with double strike this guy is lackluster.
• Clattering Skeletons : four drop who has to die to venture is subpar compared to other cards that venture.
• Shortcut Seeker : four drop having only 2 power and no evasion means this guy is going to have trouble doing combat damage to a player.
• Veteran Dungeoneer
• Zombie Ogre

Other cards to consider cutting:

• Temple of the False God : have no land ramp, it will not tap for mana until turn five or six and that's if you make your land drops.
• Calculated Dismissal
• Contact Other Plane
• Martial Coup
• Doom Blade
• Murder

Consider repeatable loot? Can loot on an opponent's turn to potentially venture with Sefris.

• Compulsion : can activate it to loot on each player's turn.
• Geier Reach Sanitarium
• Jace's Archivist : repeatable Windfall .
• Magus of the Bazaar
• Jace, Vryn's Prodigy  ^Flip
• Obsessive Stitcher

Other loot:

• Windfall
• Frantic Search

Master of Death can be repeatable surveil 2 as well as a creature who can return to your hand at your upkeep. Both these abilities can enable Sefris to trigger more venturing. Master is good with looting since he's a creature to discard to trigger Sefris and he returns to your hand to do it again.
