Venser, Shaper Savant is legendary so if you duplicated it, it would die.

I feel like a playset of Vedalken AEthermage is too much. Maybe cut a couple for some utility wizards that you can tutor up? Malevolent Hermit  ^Flip, Venser, Shaper Savant and Gadwick, the Wizened could all be worth considering as toolbox options.

Its a bit janky but if you wanted you could also run Fool's Demise for an invincible Academy Researchers.

Jaroc249 Now that I think about it Kari Zev, Skyship Raider is pretty good considering the token is legendary too but maybe mono blue could be better. How about Venser, Shaper Savant? BTW I also noticed you should put in Path of Ancestry considering a lot of your creatures are human.

multimedia on Cloudblazer or Inspiring Overseer?

Whitemane Lion and/or Stonecloaker and/or Venser, Shaper Savant to repeatedly trigger Chulane on opponent turns without needing a flash enabler. Venser can also be a wincon with Panharmonicon + Peregrine Drake, you have both.

Aether Channeler, choose from three different modes including draw a card, that's better than Inspiring Overseer. With 40 lands, Tatyova, Benthic Druid is a better 5 drop for draw/life than Cloudblazer. Cloudblazer needs a lot of extra mana/spell/effect to get repeatable value out of it, Tatyova just a land. You have Mulldrifter, don't need Cloudblazer.

Last_Laugh, yeah I imagine I probably will add Chaos Warp back in soon, I just thought that with Venser, Shaper Savant it wouldn't be too bad since i can tutor for him quite easily to bounce it when needed. Although if it comes back down I can't recur him to bounce it again which would be an issue.

yeah Plumb the Forbidden looks really great. I missed that it was an instant when I first saw it lol. I probably will put it in soon.

I used to have Seize the Spotlight in the deck and it was pretty good value wise, however I often drew it when it wouldn't have performed that well like after a boardwipe or when there wasn't really any good creatures to take so my opponents would just choose to let me steal a creature. Perhaps I was just unlucky XD although to be fair I do tend to try and keep opponents boards clear of creatures.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Instant

Wait A Second: As long as this spell is on the stack, all players stop what they are doing. They cannot cast spells or activate abilities until the spell resolves.

You may cast ~ without paying its mana cost if an opponent has casts 6 or more spells in a turn, or if a opponent has spent more than 10 mana during their turn.

End the turn, and exile any number of permanents, spells, or abilities on the stack.

"Ok, Deadeye Navigator resolves. It will Soul-Bond to Peregrine Drake, and then I'll activate the Soul-Bonded ablity. I have (Insert number here) mana. I'll then cast Venser, Shaper Savant, and I can lock out the game. Any responses?"

seems fun! You can add Ugin, the Ineffable (removal and combo, also pretty good janky draw with a sac outlet)/ Foundry Inspector/ Etherium Sculptor and The Reality Chip to draw your deck with Sensei's Divining Top.

You can probably run more cards to protect your commander like more counterspells, Deadeye Navigator + Venser, Shaper Savant, Hullbreaker Horror
