Picked up several cards for a Lavinia of the Tenth deck, but almost all could improve this deck. I have not decided whether I will upgrade this or make a new deck; the additional cards to consider adding include:
Venser, the Sojourner>Jace, the Mind Sculptor would give more blink and improve deck synergy
Flicker +blink
Otherworldly Journey +blink
Flickerform +blink
Galepowder Mage +blink
Deathless Angel +creature protection
Quicken - I am not sure I have enough low-cost sorceries in deck to warrant adding this
Terminus +board wipe
Aura Thief - This card would pair well with enchanted evening
Mystical Tutor - I finally own this commander staple! What to replace with it?
Followed Footsteps
Mimic Vat
Ephara, God of the Polis +card draw / blink procs
Serene Offering
Quiet Purity
Mnemonic Wall +ETB effect
Sunken Hope would pair well with Paradox Haze
Quicksilver Gargantuan - Of this lot this is the least likely candidate to be added.

Above cards mostly went into my Lavinia deck.
Currently cataloguing my collection to make a commander cube. I noticed that I own an Umbral Mantle which may belong in this deck.. it pairs well with infinite mana and Merieke

Temple of the False God replaced with Path of Ancestry not an improvement, Temple is currently in use with Ruric Thar

Check my nonbasic lands; also I am picking up pain lands to add soon!
Owned Tutors
Mystical Tutor (Definitely want to add)
Idyllic Tutor
Diabolic Tutor (probably worth adding to get combos, but slow)
Possible combo cards
Blue Sun's Zenith (not sure if I have the right cards to include this)
Approach of the Second Sun
Torment of Hailfire (works well with infinite colourless mana combo)
Aura Thief and Cleansing Meditation for additional Enchanted Evening combos (Note: Enchanted evening removed 2021-08-07)
Board wipes
Ondu Inversion
Supreme Verdict
Other
Aura of Silence
Confounding Conundrum
Luminarch Ascension
Mistmeadow Witch
Gonti, Lord of Luxury
Solemn Simulacrum
Thieving Skydiver
Notion Thief
Sejiri Glacier
Malakir Mire
Countersquall
Windfall
Reanimate (I have several similar black spells)
Animate Dead
Top priority is putting in the additional win cons, cards tha combo with existing deck, and possibly tutors.
If I were to buy cards I my top picks would be:
Aphetto Alchemist
Ghostly Flicker
Vizier of Tumbling Sands
Fatestitcher
Freed from the real
A few of these are valuable for Cubing and also have good combos in this deck:
Isochron Scepter (combo with dramatic reversal)
Basalt Monolith
2021-08-06
Added:
Lightning Greaves
Narset, Parter of Veils
Deadeye Navigator
Removed
Mask of Avacyn
Enchanted Evening (pairs with some cards mentioned above)
Everflowing Chalice
Other potential cuts:
Soltari Visionary: quite a bit weaker without Enchanted Evening
Trinket Mage: Can only pull Sol ring and expedition map, not sure how much value this is adding atm. (If Everflowing chalice combos return to this deck, maybe this would be worth keeping)
Norritt: I am sure there are better alternatives to him. Gotta drop that CMC!
Future updates:
Shocklands! Watery Grave, Godless Shrine, and Hallowed Fountain should arrive late August.
Trinket Mage is a hold over from voltaic key/everflowing chalice combo I had and should probably be replaced with Tribute Mage
