Glad I could be of assistance. Your commander costs 6 and is expensive to recast, even with coffers + artifact ramp. If you don't mind losing a draw, Volrath's Stronghold can be a backup plan (and slightly helpful against grave hate) for those late games where he inevitably costs too much.

Loving the fetchland synergy with rings. Not to mention with urborg out, u can keep them "as swamps" and use them for top deck manipulation (with top).

Dark Confidant would be so powerful in this deck with 46% zero CMC. Cut Diabolic Intent.

Floodbringer & Oboro Breezecaller > whichever 2 moonfolk you think are the weakest. Uyo seems bad in a deck with 6 spells.

Blossoming Tortoise > Sporemound

Treasure Hunt > Maelstrom Nexus

Ancient TombGC > Sol Ring

This deck would greatly benefit from Academy Ruins, Hall of Heliod's Generosity and Volrath's Stronghold

Suggestions for general good stuff: Whip of Erebos, Bident of Thassa, Hammer of Purphoros, Academy Ruins, Drownyard Temple.

Depending on your budget, Volrath's Stronghold and Crucible of Worlds gets your discarded stuff back.

Necramus I've been looking for a foil Academy Ruins locally (while secretly hoping for a reprint) with no luck so far. I want to complete the trifecta because I already own and run Volrath's Stronghold and the foil Hall of Heliod's Generosity you noticed.

Where's your Volrath's Stronghold?

Titania's Command and Lazotep Quarry are fun options.

Volrath's Stronghold is a good card, but expensive.

Bounce lands with Exploration effects mean you can generate lots of tokens per turn.

You have a lot of options in this deck, many of them extremely powerful. I suggest cutting the clue token stuff.

Grave Titan gives you additional zombies if you wanna go that route.

Edit: I just noticed many of my suggestions are already listed. Sorry about that!

Whip of Erebos is just an amazing card with tokens and self-mill.

Thank you. I would try to focus on draw/drain and protecting and accelerating the combos. Potential cuts: Angel of suffering, grave pact, dictate as they protect only if you do something. The same for grim haruspex and morbid Opportunist. Praetors grasp has no synergy. Leaden myr is too slow without haste. Oversold Cemetery is conditionally slow. Doomed Necromancer and Phyrexian Reclamation could be ok as you tutor things into the graveyard, although I would go for Witch's Cottage and Volrath's Stronghold.

Potential inclusions could be Imp's Mischief for protection, cheap targeted removal and mana rocks like Mana Vault, Grim Monolith, Mana Crypt.

I look forward to seeing two new decklists ;) I think for now I am out of ideas but would be interesting to see how this turns out. The deck would be way out if my budget and for my playgroup Sheoldred is not a suitable commander but I really like her in the 99 for my Braids Arisen Nightmare deck. Hope this works and I really like the deck!
