Teferi's Protection
Instant
Until your next turn, your life total can't change, and you have protection from everything. All permanents you control phase out. (While they're phased out, they're treated as though they don't exist. They phase in before you untap during your untap step.)
Exile this.

Last post here. This will be a list of suggestions. If I place an "***" next to one I strongly reccomend you try to find room for it. Regardless, all of these suggestions should be considered as I think they're all good. I wouldn't be suggesting them otherwise.
LANDS
MDFC's:
Fell the Profane Flip*** (highly suggest cutting a basic swamp)
Branchloft Pathway Flip (swap with a basic if you get this)
Brightclimb Pathway Flip (swap with a basic if you get this)
Darkbore Pathway Flip (swap with a basic if you get this)
Normal lands:
Wasteland*** (I suggested this as a swap actually but I wanna relist it here so you don't forget)
Dust Bowl*** (Strip mine, wasteland, and dust bowl are the best lands that kill lands in the game, period. Run these 3 and you do not need any others.
Path of Ancestry (3+ color decks are gonna want any-color lands. You'd be surprised)
Mana Confluence (3+ color decks are gonna want any-color lands. You'd be surprised)
City of Brass (3+ color decks are gonna want any-color lands. You'd be surprised)
Horizon of Progress*** (3+ color decks are gonna want any-color lands. You'd be suprised) (The reason I added asterisks here and not the other 5 color lands is its ramp ability. You are running 40 lands so that ability will do work AND it's sac/draw ability will also be nuts in your deck. Did I mention it also taps for all 5 colors AND colorless too? Lol such a good land for you and in general)
Underground Mortuary*** (helps with graveyard, is fetchable)
Lush Portico*** (helps with graveyard, is fetchable)
Shadowy Backstreet*** (helps with graveyard, is fetchable)
CREATURES
(You want several more "play additional land'' effects in this deck. Believe me the deck will be way more powerful with a critical mass of these effects.)
ENCHANTMENTS
Necropotence***
Attrition*** (you have tokens out the wazoo to sac. this is also repeatable, reusable removal on a stick. even if your opponent has black creatures, its still a sac outlet.)
Grave Pact (double value if you have this AND attrition out. I would've put asterisks here too, but idk if you have enough sac outlets. Its good without sac outlets obviously, but with more it would be an auto-inlcude as opposed to a very solid suggestion)
Survival of the Fittest (would've put asterisks here too but you need roughly 25+ creatures before this is really worth running. This appears to be the case with most cedh decks that run this and it's also been my personal experience. This is a suggestion that you could include or ignore tbh.
ARTIFACTS
(RUN BOTH OF THESE!!! VERY IMPORTANT)
Conduit of Worlds*** (also gives you general recursion for every card in your deck except instants and sorceries)
SORCERIES
Ravages of War
****** (extra asterisks lol. This is a functional reprint of Armageddon. Doubles your chances of MLD!)
INSTANTS
Teferi's Protection (reason for this suggestion is it's heroic intervention #2 for the purposes of comboing with Armageddon/ravages of war. You'll destroy all lands on the board except your own. Be prepared for people to ragequit lmao.)

- Cheaper than greater auramancy Sterling Grove
- Jukai Naturalist
- If you wanna spend some big $$$ Hei Bai, Forest Guardian, Smothering Tithe, Rhystic Study, Teferi's Protection
- For more card draw Enchantress's Presence, Eidolon of Blossoms, Setessan Champion, Sythis, Harvest's Hand, Satyr Enchanter
- cheap tutor Shrine Steward
- board wipe Extinguish All Hope
- color fixing Leyline of the Guildpact
- good enchantment planeswalker Calix, Destiny's Hand
DarkKiridon on Why Does White Not Need …

White has its own "fogs" on top of the actual fogs they have from years ago which is what Maro already answered so they stopped and just made them strictly green.
Angelsong, Holy Day, and Riot Control come to mind.
There's also Dawn Charm.
Does white have other other effects that have a similar funtion?
Yeah, like Teferi's Protection & Everybody Lives!
I feel like you already answered your own question though on top of Rosewater also answering it.

41 lands is way too many. You probably don't need 2 of every basic land type but I would recommend some instants. Even just a Teferi's Protection or a Counterspell to keep your board state around for a turn cycle could do wonders for a deck like this.

I can absolutely relate on the wife front. I've been married for 8 years - just celebrated an anniversary and we'll likely be together for many more. She's already accepted my addicti-er...hobby. Just gotta make responsible budgets each month for entertainment. Also, I highly suggest you chat up a local game store (LGS) and feel out the management and staff - if they are trustworthy and amicable to their customers you should build a financial relationship with them - try to do as much business as possible there. Then when it comes time for you to want to get a BIG purchase for a birthday (like that aforementioned Sliver Queen *oversized*) you can make an arrangement where you give some trades as a down payment, and every paycheck you make small payments until the card is purchased. Yes, it's effectively layaway - but obviously you can't do that with all stores. This is more of a long term suggestion if you ever felt so inclined to collect some more expensive pieces. If you know you're never going to want to then I suggest you proxy to your heart's content. Few players seem to care as long as you're not playing in big tournaments with cash prizes.
As for card suggestions I think all of your swaps are spot on, except your filterland choices. Don't go with the Odyssey cycle lands like the aforementioned Skycloud Expanse. When they enter the battlefield they literally do nothing unless you have another mana source already on the field - including these limit your early game options. Pay the few dollars more and get the Shadowmoor filterlands e.g. Flooded Grove and Mystic Gate. The key differences here is that they all can produce mana - specifically - but their filtering option takes things one step further and can give you a two of one color as opposed to one of each.
Mox Diamond is tough to replace. It's a card with ridiculous power that just can't really be replicated. Considering price though, i'd go with a utility spell like the aforementioned Teferi's Protection, Heroic Intervention, or Sylvan Tutor. MindStone is also a very okay option as well because in the late game it can get you a card when in a pinch. This slot is reserved for low cost spells that help establish or maintain your boardstate. Go with what you think your deck needs.

Thanks for the detailed response! I have always loved strategy games and been aware of Magic but never really dove in. I'm throughly enjoying searching around for cards and seeing how different cards can work together. Sadly I just can't afford cards over say $100 right now. I think my wife would burn me at a stake if she knew I splurged for the Sliver Queen *oversized*!
I am definitely going to use Windfall to replace Wheel of Fortune. That just makes sense to me, basically the same effect with the only variable being drawing less than 7 cards.
Three Tree City also seems like a 1 for 1 for Gaea's Cradle. Yes, slightly less efficient but much more manageable budget wise. I wasn't aware of this card! Thank you!
I actually, settled on the Pain Lands after my last post. However, it's not a 1 for 1 swap for the original 10 duals because your list already included Adarkar Wastes and Yavimaya Coast. So, I just need to find replacements for Tropical Island and Tundra. Which I think will be Overflowing Basin and Skycloud Expanse. Sadly, the Sack lands will only be able to find the Shocks but it is what it is. I can't imagine having a Triome and it coming in tapped and not being able to play a card because of it. I again wasn't aware of the Filter Lands! Thank you x2!
So the only replacement card I need to think more about is Mox Diamond. Do you think I should stick with a mana rock? Or can I get away with another utility Sliver or interaction? Diffusion Sliver, Morophon, the Boundless, Teferi's Protection, Heroic Intervention, Mystical Tutor where the cards I've been eyeing.
Thank you x3!
TheoryCrafter on Beta Brackets Update Today

Personally, if we're going to have a whole bracket system, we may as well just unban everything that isn't an ante, conspiracy or is racist and set a minimum bracket for specific cards. Such as all cards currently banned means you can only play it in Bracket five while a card like Teferi's Protection can only be played in perhaps(?) no lower than bracket 3.
With that said I don't think there was a bad call the whole announcement. I know Y'all aren't happy about Coalition Victory. However, it's a spell with a mana cost of 8 and every color except Green has at least one counter spell with a mana value of 2 or less that can handle it. Not to mention the countless spells that cost one black mana to force a discard and there's cards like Naturalize to destroy Dryad of the Ilysian Grove or Leyline of the Guildpact(which some players won't be able to afford purchasing, anyways) as soon as Coalition Victory is cast.
While I don't ever see myself building a deck around Braids, Cabal Minion I can definitely see someday putting her in the Juri, Master of the Revue Deck I am currently building.
Because Sway of the Stars is now unbanned, it's not that difficult to win a game of Commander with Battle of Wits in it. One just needs to activate Spawnsire of Ulamog's 2nd activated ability to put a lotta Eldrazi on the battlefield, target Battle of Wits with Oblivion Ring or Detention Sphere, then cast Sway of the Stars for the win. Provided you can find a playgroup willing to tolerate a wish board of 103 or more cards.
May you draw well.

CommanderNeyo. Right now I actually have four game changers because Teferi's Protection was added the the list of Game Changers yesterday. The One Ring wasn't part of my list because of cost and availability. I'm having trouble keeping my Ugin's in play so I may have to breakdown and get one. My Game Changers would then be Teferi's Protection, The One Ring and one other. Enlightened Tutor will be one of the cuts. Not sure about the other.
