Tin Fins? In commander?

This deck is an attempt to build the legacy/canlander Tin Fins deck archetype in commander. Tin Fins is a deck that basically tries to reanimate Griselbrand to win by drawing a million cards. But Griz is banned in commander. Here are our replacements:

Reanimating Scholar of the Lost Trove to cast Peer into the Abyss or Enter the Infinite for free - that's basically the same thing as a Griselbrand

Casting Mizzix's Mastery on a PitA/EtI in your grave - 4 mana Griselbrand

Activate Sneak Attack on Scholar -> cast PitA/EtI - folks, that's a 1 red mana Griselbrand

Reanimate Krrick and Vilis Broker of Blood together at the same time - that's a Griselbrand made up of 2 cards

Cast Reanimate or Death on Vilis to draw 8 cards - that's a dollar store 1 use Griselbrand

You can also use Scholar or Mizzix's Mastery to get a free Emergent Ultimatum -> Ultimatum gets some combination of Dream Halls, Omniscience, PitA, EtI and you win

Shallow Graves and Goryo's Vengeance pair really well with The Ur-Dragon's attack trigger - reanimate Ur-Dragon, swing, put Omniscience into play isn't a Griselbrand but it's still pretty good.

This is a powered down version for my meta - the cards in the sideboard are what I would swap in to power it up. Maybeboard is maybeboard
