Tainted Pact
Instant
Exile the top card of your library. You may put that card into your hand unless it has the same name as another card exiled this way. Repeat this process until you put a card into your hand or you exile two cards with the same name, whichever comes first.

Goldberserkerdragon, the combo still works. You’re thinking of Tainted Pact which isn’t included in the deck precisely because of the number of basics in the deck. I’d still think it’s worth it to run Tainted Pact and change the land base, though.

For redundancy, complete the playset of Forks by adding Twincast. You could add a combo potential by running Burning Inquiry with your Underworld Breach and Storm-Kiln Artist. It looks like you need to fix your land base to work with Tainted Pact. In my experience Wheel of Misfortune and Primal Amulet Flip are overrated, consider taking them out to lower the mana curve. Otherworldly Gaze is a cool pick, I might try that in my Kess deck Pox Diamond.

TINY PUNISHER - Discard/Stax [cEDH Primer]

Hey Awdiehl7, Praetor's Grasp is definitely situational, it depends on your playgroup. The higher the power level of the group, the more relevant Grasp becomes. It also helps if you play against the same decks or archetypes frequently, so you know how they work and what you can utilize with Grasp. I’ve also considered dropping the Swamps and running 1 of each card to enable Tainted Pact, that way I can steal Thassa's Oracle and win by exiling my library with Pact. I’m weighing whether the occasional extra mana potential with Cabal Coffers is worth running over Pact.
Profet93, yes, Castle Locthwain is rarely used, but it can come in handy in a tight spot. At least there is the option to draw a card at instant speed, even if I take some minimal life-loss. Plus I can use it in conjunction with Words of Waste on an opponent’s turn.
And yes, the stax pieces are always being targeted by other players, so the trick is layering them as the game progresses to overwhelm the other players, and eventually lock their hands down before they can kill you. If your meta is super creature-heavy, consider adding additional removal like I mentioned earlier. I don’t remember if I mentioned it, but Tainted AEther is very effective as well.
Also, I’d love to see pics of the deck. I’ve been meaning to post picks of mine, but I haven’t gotten around to it!

Daveslab2022 if I were playing all 5 colors it would be a different story, but in my three color deck I just don't personally feel like it's fun to use the dual lands as they fix my mana almost too well. I like the diversity of lands in my deck. Though I may end up slotting them back in for casual play so that my Tainted Pact always works.

You are right about Tainted Pact being too aggressive in this glass cannon. I will redact and revamp my suggestion to the missing link to this strategy: Crop Rotation!

Boseiju, Who Endures/Otawara, Soaring City much needed spot removal.
Slaughter Pact is not as clutch as that Pact of Negation but the power creep is real and there are many creatures that can thwart this strategy.

Hey, you can add these spells : Culling the Weak ; Jeska's Will to accelerate your mana, and all tutors : Scheming Symmetry ; Wishclaw Talisman ; Tinker ; Diabolic Intent ; Imperial Seal ; Gamble ; Grim Tutor ; Personal Tutor ; Planar Bridge ; Demonic Consultation ; Tainted Pact (with the combo Thassa's Oracle if don't play a lot of lands), you can add Divining Witch same thing, and the master piece for these tutors is Laboratory Maniac. Nowday there is a lot of mana rock : Arcane Signet ; Mox Amber ; Thran Dynamo ; Thought Vessel

Update 10/13/22
Thinking of trimming back the fat a bit after some play testing.
Regarding the creature sub-theme - Grenzo, Dungeon Warden was a cool add, but it was a heavy mana cost off the bat to put a relevant one into play, plus its hit rate was somewhat low when I was goldfishing.
I also want to work in the Hermit Druid + Sevinne's Reclamation + Thassa's Oracle combo. The lands base is pretty much all non basic now, and Thassa’s can be swapped out for Jace, Wielder of Mysteries. Reclamation can still recur a lot of things in the deck, and Oracle is still compatible with Tainted Pact.
A lot of the legends in the deck already were added as silver bullets (e.g Anafenza, the Foremost. I think some of these should be cut in favor of more value-grinding legends. (While keeping the legendary count and overall curve intact.
OUT: - Grenzo, Dungeon Warden - Jace, Wielder of Mysteries - The 5 basic lands
IN: - Hermit Druid - Sevinne's Reclamation - Thassa's Oracle - 5 non basic lands - Anafenza, the Foremost
(I’ll update the ins/outs in another comment, These are not yet fleshed out.)
