This is nice. I play-tested it a few times and it worked quite well. The only card I would cut, would be Venser's Journal. Reason for this is that you're not profiting much from it, as your hand-size is continuously quite small (due to Kodama's ability).

Decanter of Endless Water potential mana rock upgrade

Triskaidekaphile potential win con.

Body of Knowledge on theme beater.

Venser's Journal this is probably win more but life gain in mono blue is neat.

No prob. I have a Boros equipment list with the commander as Akiri, Fearless Voyager and Wyleth in the 99.

I understand why you are running Diviner's Wand but I kind of hate it because 0% of you creatures fit the tribe.

I don't know what the card draw is like in this list but I saw the Thought Vessel so definitely Reliquary Tower. Possibly Venser's Journal?

Eon Hub this card has anti synergy with a playset of cards in the list. Will my opponents ratio be as low? I doubt it. This deck is centered around Shauku and dealing with her drawbacks is a must. I might be cutting Venser's Journal based off your observation that the deck is lacking in card draw.

You are kind of right. No Mercy does not guarantee an empty board. Should I be filling this deck with all the sorcery speed mass removal?

I've found Venser's Journal to be a solid card in my deck (I Sphinx You'll Find That's Mine) to prolong the game to whilst you control your opponent / get the damage in.

I've found Venser's Journal to be quite useful in my deck (I Sphinx You'll Find That's Mine) for elongating the game through life gain and protecting against unnecessary discard once the card draw gets going
