Bounce bouce bounce —July 16, 2019
Added Tribute Mage, Portal of Sanctuary
, Agent of Treachery, Mind Spring, Artisan of Kozilek, Ulamog's Crusher, Prismatic Lens, and Exotic Orchard. Took out Mind Unbound, Well of Ideas, Vanishing, Paradox Haze, Faerie Artisans, Inkwell Leviathan, and Island.
I felt I needed one more bomb. I also felt that, since I'm not going all-in for dropping huge threats with Braids, I didn't need so much upkeep wankery--I almost never had multiple things to drop in my hand so Paradox Haze ( and thus Mind Unbound) wasn't so good. I also want to switch my focus to bouncing Braids back to my hand so I can have more synergy with bouncing other creatures--as in my ETB creatures. I'll add a Erratic Portal soon, I think.
I thought I wanted to add my Snapcaster Mage, which needs a home, but I only have like, ten instants and sorceries. I think bouncing a Snapcaster to my hand and replaying him would be sick, but I may run out of spells to cast. If I had Expropriate, Mass Manipulation, Entrancing Melody, Bribery, and other non-enchantment theft spells it might be worth it. Getting a second Blatant Thievery, Acquire, or Mind Spring might still be sick.
I'd like to put Dominating Licid into the mix. It's repeatable, transferable creature theft that's surprisingly hard to kill.

Words of Wind seems like a really good option to help keep boards manageable. You can get braids off the field before the end of your turn to prevent them from getting value or just mass bounce to stall until a better strategy presents itself.
Really fun build!~
