TLDR: Deck is made for janky combos that involve everyone drawing a lot of cards so I can mill them, or setting up a Doomsday with Mirror of Fate

My budget for any single card is below $100.

Issue: Card draw and cuts

There are some cards in my deck that I feel can be cut but I don't know what to replace them with. The cards, I see at least, are Spellstutter Sprite, Glen Elendra Archmage, Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver, and Archmage Ascension.

Although I can absolutely see their place in countering spells to keep a steady board, tutoring cards, and possibly reanimating Nightmares, I think there might be cards that synergize better with Forced Fruition and personal card draw.

There are already cards I've considered, one being Font of Mythos but I already use that in my adapted tstorm823 Zedruu deck, and I'd like to not copy too many spells from one deck to another. And if possible, cutting Howling Mine as well for another personal draw card.

I want to make this deck unique, but at the same time, I don't want to sacrifice too much efficiency for it. So if I'm asking too much of both you, my deck, and myself, please say so, cause that'll rein me in.

Thank you so much!

Mind Over Matter is generically good here. Loops with stuff like Temple Bell or Jace's Archivist. Wheels in general are good paired with a mass bounce such as cyclonic rift. End of turn Rift-> Whispering Madness -> cipher onto creature, swing and get another trigger.

Side note: I would highly recommend running 3+ more lands, as without consistent acceleration, and with that curve, 32 lands runs a huge risk of not having enough lands to play your stuff

To piggy back off of the Mind Over Matter i thought id share a fun combo (though not efficient).

Arcanis the Omnipotent + Mind Over Matter + Mystic Redaction + Rise of the Dark Realms
