there are a few cards that would help Seraph Sanctuary, Lyra Dawnbringer, Kaalia, Zenith Seeker, Bishop of Wings, Angel of Vitality, Speaker of the Heavens, Resplendent Angel

if you wanted to go more reanimation then, Angel of Despair, Angel of Serenity and maybe Angel of Sanctions, should be the main core of the deck, with spells like Unburial Rites, Collective Brutality and maybe mid rangey cards like The Eldest Reborn, Elspeth Conquers Death, Liliana, Death's Majesty

Thanks for looking at the mana. I'm not sure about it since I haven't played yet (and next get together is probably in a month or so), but I think you make a valid case with the tapped lands. I want to try out the new MDFCs and I found out i have the U/R and U/B duals lying around. I've swapped them and Interplanar Beacon for Temple of Deceit, Vivid Crag and Creeping Tar Pit. What others would you recommend cutting for more basics?

Perhaps you're right on the 3cmc artifacts too, even though I'd say commander's sphere is decent because it cycles for free when you don't need it anymore. I might add Rakdos Signet and cut Chromatic Lantern.

Crux of Fate is already in the list, Vandalblast or By Force might be nice instead of the 5th boardwipe though

@RNR_Gaming

True that's a combo. I don't think I'll run it beause I don't have the cards currently interesting loop for sure though!

I cut Fuel for the Cause for Daretti, Scrap Savant

@Daveslab2022

That play pattern appeals, so maybe I'll find room for it later. A bit of randomness like that can make games more fun

@Nightblad3

Beacon is in now :)

In Bolas's Clutches is more of a flavorcard, so are The Eldest Reborn and Cruel Ultimatum. Some or all will probably go after the first couple games, but I like the idea for now.

My idea about Pentad Prism is that it's a nice 2 mana ramp spell that can be proliferated onto for ramp. Throne of Geth is another way to proliferate because i do make some artifacts here and there

The idea with most artifacts is that they either ramp, proliferate or benefit from proliferation (see the section Card by Card). Which other cards do you feel are part of the subtheme but don't contribute?

If you're talking about Saheeli, Tezzeret and (now x2) Daretti: I think the Business Artifacts in the list (the chain veil, contagion clasp/engine and lithoform engine) are worth fetching / copying even just on their own, but maybe your idea is they don't do enough?

Let me know because I'm curious what you think on the topic, if you have suggestions to spice up the artifact theme I'd gladly hear them!

Archetype sucks, it's too slow -- Supreme Verdict is all you need, really.

Basri really does nothing unless you already have a board of creatures.

Blind Obedience, while interesting in EDH, does nothing here. It literally does nothing. Trust me, I've tried to use it and I always end up cutting it.

Other than that, this can probably win games -- I'd personally put more removal in, though.

In my Sultai superfriends deck(I might splash white eventually tho for Elspeth, Sun's Champion) i have two main halves - black removal, and green/blue draw all the things. The digging engines are Narset, Parter of Veils and Oath of Nissa, which when combined can shift your deck at absurd rates. I also have 2x each Dig Through Time and Tamiyo, Collector of Tales. Combined, those two can dig quite a lot deeper than Oath/Narset but they're more mana intensive. One of my main win cons is looping my 1x The Eldest Reborn with Tammy, and you could do that with Elspeth Conquers Death or another saga.

Pull from the deep does cost more but you get an instant and a sorcery from the graveyard. This card though also The Eldest Reborn is what I was referring too. I also run Palace Siege in my current wrexial it helps out

I just put this list together. It is a little different than what you have as it doesn't run Karn or a companion; however, I think it should be really consistent. Might be something you would be interested in? I personally don't think Karn would be that good. There just isn't enough good artifact sb cards that you would really want to grab. The main deck can deal with pretty much anything you need.

The Eldest Reborn might be more useful than some of your removal spells. Another option would be Kiora Bests the Sea God

multimedia on Nicol Bolas, Deck of Nightmares

Hey, I agree Nicol Bolas can be devastating repeatable discard in multiplayer Commander. It's a more powerful Grixis Commander then Crosis.

No matter the Commander choice here's some budget cards $2 or less each to consider adding. Several of these suggestions are in the maybeboard. When you're playing a high CMC Commander then more low CMC ramp helps.

• Talisman of Creativity
• Dark Ritual
• Izzet Signet
• Rakdos Signet

Crosis has flying and most Specters also have flying which makes Dragon Tempest a two drop haste enabler for the majority of your creatures. Consider cutting the other Dragons and high CMC creatures for more Specters or creature that can give you more value?

• Thief of Sanity: amazing in multiplayer Commander since you have more opponents to steal cards from.
• Kess, Dissident Mage: get more value out of draw spells and discard spells, she's a very good Grixis flying creature.
• Sedraxis Specter
• Needle Specter
• Blizzard Specter
• Scythe Specter
• Fell Specter

Whispering Madness is a wheel and it can be repeatable with cipher which can be powerful with flying creatures. Read the Bones, Painful Truths, Brainstorm are mana efficient draw spells. In multiplayer Commander the versatility of Mirrormade is great, especially on a budget. With all the discard from multiple opponents The Eldest Reborn can do a lot and have many targets to choose from to reanimate.

Mask of Memory and Mask of Riddles is low CMC equipment that can be repeatable draw with flying creatures. Sunken Hollow, Dragonskull Summit, Grixis Panorama, Ash Barrens are lands to consider adding.

Cards to consider cutting:

• Hideous Visage
• Slate Street Ruffian
• Fill with Fright
• Traveler's Amulet
• Phantasmal Dragon
• Territorial Hellkite
• Boltwing Marauder
• Hypersonic Dragon
• Kolaghan, the Storm's Fury
• Arcanis the Omnipotent
• Moltensteel Dragon
• Tyrant's Familiar
• Gruesome Deformity
• Fear
• Foresee
• Ambition's Cost
• Mind Rot

Good luck with your deck.
