Actual deck has been built —May 17, 2023

I built the deck in paper format, and removed several combos to make way for necessary tutors and mana rocks. There's only one infinite mana combo now, which is Vizier of Remedies and Devoted Druid. With so many creatures that combo with my commander, I've added tutors instead of regular card draw. This deck needed a concentration of cards that grant lifelink, and I have that in the form of two equipments. I'm considering Quest for the Holy Relic as a turn 1 play that can attach Shadowspear or Basilisk Collar to Shalai and Hallar by the time I need it. Another combo I removed was Vigor with Chain Reaction or Blasphemous Act. While powerful, the combo is slower and I intend to have this deck go off before being able to cast those two cards.

When deckbuilding, I aim for 32 lands, plus 2 for each additional color (36), 10 removal cards, 10 ramp or rocks, 10 tutors or card draw, 10 early creatures, 5 cards for synergy, and 20 cards for strategy.
