Hello, im wanting to make a deck revolving around a Thanos situation recasting Fraying Omnipotence
Im thinking Jodah, Archmage Eternal would make as the best commander flavorwise but im needing to find a way to recast Fraying Omnipotence each turn. whether its each of my turn or each players turn idk. i like running combo decks so i thought this flavor would make a fun deck.
If people can give me some ideas and maybe find this combo to be a 5 card combo to symbolize the infinity stones but idk. wishful thinking.

Panoptic Mirror is banned in Commander, don't use that.

Would you want to put Havoc Festival in there too..? That would involve red, which may (or may not) help...

Wrenn and Six is an interesting idea but i feel like it too vulnerable to get up to her ult.
Panoptic Mirror would on bee perfect too, sad.
Havoc Festival is an option but it doesnt have the blip half of the population like the 3 spells im wanting to use. plus im wanting to try to make a combo out of it as opposed to just using one spell.

I found maybe some sort of jank. Morophon, the Boundless, Archaeomancer, Omnispell Adept, Tradewind Rider, and Intruder Alarm.
Use Jodah and morophon to free cast Archaeomancer and omnispell. use omnispell to cheat cast Curse of the Cabal or Vona's Hunger. If you have something that makes your bois into mana dorks, you can use tradewind and intruder alarm to return archaeomancer to hand and something else then then recast them for free. when you play them, you can untap your board with the intruder alert and recast your spells again.
Sadly, you cant do recasts with Fraying Omnipotence as you lose your creatures. if there was a card similar to the mirror that can allow you to recast it, that would be chill but this combo seems like it has the right idea.

I usually just make token copies/clones of Archaeomancer - type cards if I want to recur the heck out of instants/sorceries. Add any red and blue fork effects that duplicate spells like Reiterate and green for all the mana ever and you got it. Jodah lets you drop things like Nyxbloom Ancient faster, but I think Kenrith, the Returned King also gets a nod as a way to do something with your mana in absence of your 'secret commander'. He even draws cards to find it!

I assume you have Fist of Suns in there?
On flavor cards I'll chuck in Curse of the Cabal, Vona's Hunger.
Anyways, Soulfire Grand Master might be interesting.

With Jodah, Demonic Tutor or Solve the Equation or Conflux + Seasons Past. Equation and Conflux are budget tutor options. The tutor keeps tutoring for Past, Past then recurs the tutor and Fraying as well as other cards you discarded because of Fraying.
I use this combo in my Jodah Dragons deck not with Fraying, but for Dragonstorm to assemble Dragon combos and Klauth, Unrivaled Ancient
makes the mana.

Seasons Past would've been my suggestion, as well. Jodah seems a fine commander.
You could go for a BIG MANA SORCERY theme with some of the Ultimatums that don't exile themselves on resolution, Apex of Power and Double Vision. Maelstrom Nexus and Maelstrom Archangel would be pretty busted in there, as well. Eerie Ultimatum would be especiall especially nasty when combined with Fraying Omnipotence
Solve the Equation is indeed awesome for that, but Diabolic Tutor, Dark Petition, Mastermind's Acquisition and especially Final Parting are powerful tutors that don't cost much.

If you have Wrenn and Six and a way to ult him quickly on entry you can give all your instants and sorceries retrace.
A much less expenpsive option would be Panoptic Mirror.
Happy Hunting!
