A Stax oriented Brago deck.

There are a few cards not in the list that I think could either be used to make it better, or could be used to improve it in certain cases. I've listed them below in no particular order.

Starting with the land base, obviously the full assortment of fetches would be beneficial, as would the ABUR duals. Wasteland would also be helpful.

Not much can be added for Planeswalkers, but I don't dislike Teferi, Temporal Archmage and had it in my list for quite a while.

For Artifacts, Mana Crypt would be great and Grafdigger's Cage could be very strong, but is probably a meta call. I've seen some lists run Goblin Cannon as a win-con by stacking the triggers with infinite mana to kill the table.

For Enchantments, there's a wide range of situationally useful cards like Rest in Peace, as well as strong tax effects in Kismet / Frozen AEther, Land Equilibrium and Mana Vortex .

Good Creatures include either Thalia variant, Thalia, Guardian of Thraben / Thalia, Heretic Cathar, although I probably wouldn't run both at the same time and Weathered Wayfarer is a card I've seen in lists of people I highly respect. Ethersworn Canonist is another potential addition that can really hose opponents while impacting you minimally as you will be casting a large number of artifacts. Reflector Mage is an incredibly solid option and is something I'm also considering.

For Sorceries and Instants you could add more land destruction in Ravages of War but that card is silly expensive for how little you get out of it. In the same vein, Timetwister is amazing but again very expensive. Cheaper ways to improve the deck would be Transmute Artifact and Time Spiral if you're looking for more wheel effects. Mana Drain is always good, but again rather expensive.

There's probably good cards I missed and plenty more that are very strong in certain metas that I overlooked. Either way, I hope you found thinks helpful.
