Not much going on in AFR for Feather, but there is one notable swap.

I cut Pyroblast for Kick in the Door. Pyroblast is the most niche removal spell in the deck, and while it has other utility with cast triggers and things like Birgi, it just isn't worth the slot anymore. Kick in the Door is only at it's peak with Mirrorwing or Zada, but trust me, when you complete Dungeon of the Mad Mage three times in one turn, you'll see the utility.

With the addition of strixhaven's "cast OR COPY" creatures such as Leonin Lightscribe and Lorehold Pledgemage I have slotted several copy spells and a Double Vision The dream is to create a loop by copying a copy spell to make infinitely large creatures and then Soul's Fire or Chandra's Ignition them at my opponent's faces. Wish me luck lol.

Hey, long time lurker and commenter with my own Feather brew? What are your thoughts on Esper Sentinel in this deck? I have 2 and was considering clearing a spot for it.

DadHumanPraetor - I'm not sure you'd easily be able to go infinite unless you went with something like Dualcaster Mage becasue Double Vision only copies the first spell you cast once, but if you're going to go the Chandra's Ignition route then I would run Clever Lumimancer because it gets more power per spell/copy. Thanks for the comment!

carlmoores - I think it's a fine card that will definitely draw you a fair amount of cards in EDH, especially if you get this turn one. If you've got ways to put counters on it that's even better, so I think it's completely passable. I definitely think it's a powerful card for non blue decks in the format. Thanks for the comment!

KayneMarco - I don't think this really has a place for me, or any commander deck really, except maybe the new Rakdos legends. While it is good with Storm-Kiln, it's basically only good with that card. Using an entire slot in the 99 for something that, on it's own, is an overpriced vanilla 3/2 does not make the cut for me, and I don't see a deck where it does unless you have 10 or more cards that makes treasures one at a time, because even something like Dockside Extortionist, the difference between 6 and 7 treasures isn't as significant as the difference between 1 and 2 every time you Magecraft, for example. Also, Storm-Kiln takes over the game for me just fine on it's own; I don't know if I've ever untapped with Storm-Kiln and and a cantrip and lost, seriously. Even with something like Smothering Tithe, Tithe is a powerhouse on it's own, the extra treasures there feel like overkill more than a strong synergy. Unless you're leaning really hard into treasures or trying to use some big mana X spell as your win con, I don't see this making the cut in the format as a whole.
