Profet93 What I gather from a lot of playtesting was this deck is terrible against aggro, go-wide and flying creatures during early turns. Presenting a lot of mana with nothing to spend to also invites enemies. I found out that a few staxx pieces like Karn, the Great Creator, Cursed Totem, Grafdigger's Cage help drag the game a little bit longer in order for me to get going, so I might update the deck with less ramp and more staxx.
What I like about Scour from Existence is I get to interract at instant speed. But maybe I'll consider Spine of Ish Sah if I ever decided to go to Grinding Station and/or Krark-Clan Ironworks route.
You're right, Eye of Vecna is better than Spare Supplies. Thanks, I'll look for one.

Makes a lot of sense, although do keep in mind some stax might make you a target in a different way. That being said, I agree that it's the right decision. If you're gonna add Cursed Totem, then swap it for Pithing Needle potentially given that they are similar, unless needle is specifically a meta call for a non-creature activated ability. If you're gonna add cursed totem, might as well also add Torpor Orb as you don't have any ETB effects. One potential swap for Torpor Orb is Skittering Invasion given that you want to cut ramp and this seems like your least imapctful piece of ramp.

Glad to see some suggestions went through. Like you said to the prior user, let me know how your games go. Deserted temple is also useful politics!
Have you thought of swapping out Scour of Existence for Spine of Ish Sah? It really comes down to if you need the exile for GY/Indestructible meta and if you consistently can hold up 7 mana. Spine is reuseable, double triggers with Strionic Resonator + Lithiform engine.
Eye of Vecna > Spare Supplies ?
