This deck is not legal : Warping Wurm is of Simic Identity, Tsunami is of Green Identity, Spatial Binding is of Dimmir Identity and that deck is of Jeskai Identity.
That being said, the core mecanic of it seems to be a waiting game toying with phasing while stuff goes boom (Armageddon Clock, Time Bomb...), pushing opponents to forfeit by ruining their manabase or to voltron-ish out with Ishai, Ojutai Dragonspeaker (Also, since phasing is neither a cast nor an ETB trigger, Commander's Insignia seems of poor value here).
There is a bunch of stuff that seems to have no interest whatsoever to further this deck agenda (such as Thran Lens, the Sphere of Duty and the other spheres, etc...) which could hold fairly more interesting cards instead. There is no particular synergy between the commander(s) and the deck in itself, questioning why those in specific.
It feels like the deck hopes to be annoying enough to get you to victory... I mean it's not illegal... (some even jackoff on that)... but then if that's the flavor of it, there is fairly better way to achieve that goal, so I'm wondering what's the core mecanic you intended ?
On a building note, I have a hard time believing a 3 colors deck working well with basic lands only, but I'm a heavy user of none basic, so... this deck feels like it never has been built, feels really theorical and not actually functional.
There is a bunch of stample of the phasing mecanic you missed, such as Teferi's Protection, Teferi's Isle, Out of Time... that could get great value... the combo from Hexi180 with Balancing Act if a clear finisher, since it doesn't exclude lands...
I don't comment often, I hope this will be taken in a way that helps you to possibly improve it, this has no intention to seems harsh but I know how written wordings can be. I've a good list of worked on deck and I wanted to help, I tend to try to give some "flavor" to them rather than just piling on powerful card... If you wanna chat about it and discuss more feel free to.

@casual_competitive Necropotence hasn't been included for a handful of reasons. Beyond it being outside the accepted power level which I built this deck to play at (high-mid power), it sucks in this build for a lot of other reasons as well.
- It disables my ability to discard to the grave. This kills Land Tax, Oreskos Explorer, Attunement, Magus of the Bazaar & guts a synergies with cards I generate value with.
- Life is used to great effect already with Spatial Binding & Doom Whisperer, another outlet is unnecessary
- BBB is near impossible to cast from the hand, and Necropotence will -always- be dead there, forcing me to turbo it out early to get any value of it -- which, of course, shuts off a main way the deck generates value and... you get the idea
- It paints an extremely large target on my already very targeted head, causes the whole table to groan, and usually leaves me and everyone else with a bad taste in the mouth
- My deck isn't built to even require a hand (I run 1 counterspell), so the upside is hardly worth it
Great card in more competitive, non-reanimator Zur lists for sure, just.. not here.
That said, I'll always be happy to include necro, granted that necro is Necromancy ^^
