about the lands here some ideas:

Otawara, Soaring City -> get artifact frow grave Mirrorpool , Academy Ruins ,.... Tolaria West -> i use to get Inventors' Fair and get what i need in game The Mycosynth Gardens

Basics : Temple of Epiphany, cascade bluffs , scalding tarn , training center , steam vents , fabled passage ....... Izzet Boilerworks -> combos with Teferi temporal archmage + the chain veil + some other mana artifac

I really need to go through and update the deck’s description (lots has changed since ban update) but really liking my new concept of Burning-Rune Demon + Persist tech to get Primeval Titan in hand with a threat on board. Might actually be better than the namesake card against removal, since we don’t need extra mana for Tolaria West shenanigans.

Still playing around with numbers, and I do sort of miss Elvish Reclaimer as well, going to keep playtesting before revamping the entire description.

These are all great suggestions, thanks for the help! The budget isn't great, I'd like a second [Contagion Engine] but it isn't really for now. I think I'm gonna try the Braided Net  ^Flip, Manifold Key and a The Enigma Jewel  ^Flip. Tolaria West looks like a good addition to tutor the lands indeed.

The big question is - what format is this deck trying to be and what is your budget? Obviously this will never be competitive, but if cards from any edition are allowed, you have hundreds of choices:

• Braided Net  ^Flip - This is a Tumble Magnet with multiple advantages. It can stop Planeswalkers what the original magnet could not. It stops other activated abilities. It can draw a lot of cards. Note that once again, the other side can be untapped in reaction to the activation, so you'll have the effect twice.
• Manifold Key - Strictly better than Voltaic Key
• The Enigma Jewel  ^Flip - another mana source for activated abilities. However, it legendary, so play at most one.
• Pithing Needle - stops problematic Planeswalker and can be found by a Trinket Mage
• Relic of Progenitus - stops graveyard strategies without hurting your deck. Even when the opponent doesn't have anything with graveyard, this can draw a card to replace itself. Can be found by a Trinket Mage
• Experimental Augury - reasonably cheap card selection that proliferates.
• Vesuva, Tolaria West - If you ever want more Locus Lands.
• Urza's Tower, Urza's Power Plant, Urza's Tower, Expedition Map - alternative mana base instead of Cloudpost.
• Moonsnare Prototype - One mana accelerator.
• Inventors' Fair is artifact tutor and a life gain on a land.

If you REALLY want to go all in on counters and play older cards:

- Hickory Woodlot, Saprazzan Skerry, Peat Bog, Sandstone Needle, Remote Farm are lands that produce two mana as long as you are able to proliferate each turn. Pentad Prism is an artifact that effectively produces mana when you proliferate.

Tolaria West does not say "converted mana cost" but mana value 0. Does this include cards like Ancestral Vision which have no mana cost?

LynxGoddess First off thank you so much for all of this! My friends and I play with proxies, so price is not an issue for us. You caught me right before I printed the final deck and I am glad I can make some of these edits in time!

Yea can you tell I don't build blue black often? I'll swap one of the diamonds for Dimir Signet, any thoughts on other cheap mana rocks I may have missed? Yes we proxy but I try to avoid crazy expensive/competitive cards like Jeweled Lotus. I have somehow never seen Tolaria West before, excellent suggestion. I don't play black often so it seemed like Cabal/Urborg would be fun if I could get it off, but not necessary for the deck. Appreciate the land suggestions as well, never thought of using all those fetches for UB mana correction, gonna make those changes now.

The mana curve is a lil too high for sure, was definitely just excited to build typal faeries haha. Nymris is an easy cut, and I'll work on lowering the mana curve so there's more room for shenanigans. Cards like Hullbreaker Horror, Kindred Dominance, Tegwyll's Scouring etc are mainly fun pet cards that I'm going to try out, but are first on my to cut list since they're so high CMC wise. My playgroup decided to work away from every deck having power cards like Cyclonic Rift or Toxic Deluge in every deck with those colors, so I've been trying to find fun (if not less efficient) alternatives like Raise the Palisade.

If you ever need any deck suggestions let me know, this was a huge help and I really appreciate the detailed feedback!

JAEK on Shrine on you crazy diamond

Thank you for your comment and suggestions mtgplayer903, I've got an explanation for a few of my choices here:

1. Birds of Paradise over Ornithopter of Paradise is purely a preference of mine. I adore BoP and it finds its way into all multi-colour decks that I make. OoP is a great choice too and budget friendly, but I went with the birds this time round.
2. Eternal Witness is just a much better card than Skullwinder if I don't have to give my opponent the recursion but can get it myself with E-Wit then it's a no brainer for me personally.
3. Riftsweeper is in the deck to retrieve Maze's End for me. I have had people blow up Maze's End a few times on me and then Bojuka Bog my graveyard, so I needed a way to make sure I could get it back from exile. Admittedly, Rift does need some support from tutors to make it properly effective at this.
4. Nature's Claim vs Assassin's Trophy is a great suggestion. I'm not sure I have an A'sT to hand, but I will check and update that.
5. Vindicate is in over Beast Within because I already run Generous Gift and I find that I don't really like giving my opponents a 3/3 beater to come back at me with. The sorc speed hasn't really bothered me yet, but maybe BW will come back eventually after more playtesting.
6. Explore is dirt cheap and Exploration is a little pricey. I know it just got a reprint and I am hoping to get one soon, once I do it will be back in the list. I do use Exploration on MTGO though.
7. Tolaria West is a great tutor for Maze's End, Maze of Ith and Reliquary Tower depending on what I need from it. I find that a card like Ash Barrens is nice, but I don't think it's quite right for my list as it stands.
8. Gatecreeper Vine is out of the list now and Open the Gates is just a neat lil gate tutor so it'll stay in as the Gates theme is key to what I like about this deck.

Highly recommend adding Tolaria West It tutors for Urza's Saga for {U}{U}{1} and Muddle the Mixture and Dimir Infiltrator can fetch you Power Conduit
