Does this deck have sufficient lifegain for me to replace Temple Bell with Staff of Compleation?

I have replaced Temple Bell with Folio of Fancies, which reduced the average converted mana cost of this deck from 3.65 to 3.63, since the folio better fits the theme of this deck than does the bell.

I have replaced Mortality Spear with Drag to the Roots, since this deck has no way to gain life, apart from Ravenous Squirrel, but does actively encourage me to put cards into my own graveyard, so it should be easy to cast the latter card for its reduced cost.

I also am contemplating replacing Temple Bell with Folio of Fancies, as the latter card, there, would work very well, with this deck, so I shall ask everyone else here how they feel, about that.

I would cut Font of Mythos, Howling Mine, Master of the Feast and Temple Bell - not one of those cards does enough to win you the game. Forced Fruition is a trap also - it usually reads "let them combo off by giving them every card they need to win on a single turn, without being able to do enough damage to stop them."

Nekusar works best when he is hyper explosive, tossing mass damage on the field through wheels. Instead of wasting your time with these small, incremental damage, you really should be looking to add Dark Deal, Windfall, Winds of Changefoil. Whispering Madness, etc. Teferi's Puzzle Box is another high impact card that should be a must-include. Phyresis, Glistening Oil, and other ways to confer Infect will drastically will increase your odds of winning. Cards like Curiosity add huge card advantage. And auras like Helm of the Ghastlord and Sigil of Sleep can use Nekusar to help lock out opponents.

Cut the lifegain cards like Ivory Tower and Elixir of Immortality, as well as combat-focused cards like Akroma's Memorial. None of those do anything for your actual gameplan.

You also could stand to get your average mana cost down. Seizan, Perverter of Truth, for example, is synergistic, but five mana is steep and the card slot would be better off as a wheel.

If you can get copies I feel like Exquisite Blood and Bloodchief Ascension would generate a ton of life with your Goading stuff, the risk of these cards is that you get targeted early, Goad helps offset this nicely I'd wager. It's a bit janky, but Elemental Mastery would be a nifty way to technically swing at each opponent while your Commander is out without risking anything of any value. Baeloth Barrityl, Entertainerfoil seems interesting if you can count on having lots of stuff Goaded, he also makes it hard for someone to stockpile weenies to Craterhoof you later (I checked and you can get other versions for cheaper, I just can't seem to link to them!). Professional Face-Breaker is a nice option if you think you can get in for damage.

I absolutely love Ghoulish Impetus in a deck that wants to see people swinging, makes a whole bunch of dead stuff surprisingly quickly if you pick your creatures well.

I think if you really want to run something like Spiteful Visions I'd consider something like Fate Unraveler or even Underworld Dreams, these reinforce the effect. Another card that'd be amazing with it would be Exquisite Blood that I mentioned earlier. Temple Bell or Humble Defector are some draw effects that might synergize with what you're doing, adding political draw effects.

Oh yeah, if you like to sow Chaos, I love how much you can do with Dauthi Embrace. If you like Varchild, maybe Varchild's War-Riders? I remember finding one of these in a store's binder and picking it up, it worked well in 1v1, but if you can goad them all they won't be a problem until late (when you're 1v1), at which point the card lets you sacrifice it.

I bet this deck is a blast to play!

DemonDragonJ on Pursuit of Happiness

I have replaced Temple Bell with Chandra, Acolyte of Flame, since she better fits the theme of this deck, with how she can increase the loyalty of my other planeswalkers, since they are in this deck specifically for their emblems, with how she can generate tokens to trigger the second ability of Warleader's Call, and with how she allows me to cast instant and sorcery spells from my graveyard. It is unfortunate that her abilities cannot be activated as instants, but I was willing to make that sacrifice for greater utility.

DemonDragonJ on All Creatures Great and Small

I have replaced Temple Bell with Baylen, the Haymaker, because he (is Baylen male or female?) has amazing synegry with this deck.

Temple Bell is a bad card. There are reasons to play bad cards and playing a bad card (with a good reason) doesn't make you a bad player, especially in EDH. Most of the cards in my Jodah, the Unifier deck are bad, but they are cheap legendary creatures. So they just turn into insanely large beaters, which is what the deck wants to do. Shrieking Drake is an objectively bad card. It is a Flying Men with downside. But that doesn't stop it from being played in a cEDH deck.
