Profet93 thanks for the feedback and valued suggestions!

Sensei's Divining Top, Voltaic Key and Liberator, Urza's Battlethopter were actually the last cuts I made before publishing this edition.

Just for me - and any readers - sanity, I'll summarize here.

I already have the following pieces in the deck

You are suggesting I add

  1. Sensei's Divining Top (+2 powerful combos).
    1. combo 1: Mystic Forge + Sensei's Divining Top + Ugin, the Ineffable : As much draw as I want
    2. combo 2: Basalt Monolith + Rings of Brighthearth + Sensei's Divining Top : As much draw as I want
    3. combo 3: Great for finding the right CMC card to sink into Kozilek, the Great Distortion's counter ability. This was my initial thought for short-listing it
  2. Voltaic Key (+2 combos).
    1. combo 1: Everflowing Chalice + Rings of Brighthearth + Voltaic Key (4 counters required) : Infinite mana
    2. combo 2: Doubling Cube + Rings of Brighthearth + Voltaic Key (Use extra trigger to untap Voltaic Key) : Infinite mana
    3. combo 3: It's also carries it weight with some of the 2+ rocks.
  3. Blinkmoth Well to turn off Blinkmoth Urn on my opponents turns
  4. Liberator, Urza's Battlethopter as redundancy for Vedalken Orrery

  1. Since it ends up being useful in at least 3 case, and is useful on it's own, this would be a nice addition.
  2. It's fine. On top of my head, I'm more worried about consistent mana rocks than infinite.
  3. Not too important, but not an annoyance either. Would just need to cut another land (not Wastes, need those for fetching basics)
  4. Would be nice, but again, what to cut?! :)

I'm keen on adding Sensei's Divining Top and Voltaic Key but have a hard time coming up with cuts.

I want a reasonable chance to have a starting hand with enough mana and enough rocks to go off in round 4 or 5. Generally infinite mana only does so much for me. Once I get past the first cast of Kozilek, the Great Distortion I'll most likely have enough value to keep it going.

What would you cut?

Cheers
