A Wizard Fueled Nightmare

Commander / EDH*

Messing around with Stax. I might make this 1v1 since stax isn't what most people, myself included, consider fun for multi-player

The strategy I'm thinking of is once I have enough useful pieces go as far into my turn as it takes to get a few soot counters on Smokestack and end my turn with Sundial of the Infinite or just skip my turn entirely with cards like Eater of Days or Chronatog and then flash/cheat in cards on my opponents turns and use either or all cards like Gilder Bairn, Inexorable Tide, Vorel of the Hull Clade and/or something similar to ramp up the counters on Smokestack.

I don't know if Damia is really the right choice of commander for this idea. I picked her because she's green, giving me access to Burgeoning and other similar cards and for the card draw which, obviously, is completely useless if I manage to skip a whole bunch of consecutive turns while she's in play. Worst case scenario if I stick with her is I never cast her, I don't like the idea but if the deck as a whole works out the oh well.

I may change commanders later if I see this through to the end so if anyone has a better commander for a deck that wants to skip turns frequently, flash in cards on opponent's turns, and just mercilessly wreck opposing board states I'm open to suggestions.

Also, if I stick with Damia I might go tribal wizards since I noticed that Prophet of Kruphix is a wizard and there's a metric butt ton of awesome wizards which might work out really good in this deck. I'm looking at you Azami, Lady of Scrolls, Barrin, Master Wizard, Patron Wizard and Supreme Inquisitor!

I feel like I could use some tutors. I'm running black and NO tutors (except Chord of Calling)?! BLASPHEMY!! So I have a few things I'm considering dropping for at least Demonic Tutor and Insidious Dreams and maybe Rune-Scarred Demon. After that, if more can be cut, I'll add in Diabolic Intent and possibly Liliana Vess and/or Vampiric Tutor although I'd like to avoid vamp tutor only because as the deck is and after any changes it's still legal in 1v1, but I won't rule it out.
