(CAUTION: TL;DR Crap AHEAD; Reason: This is a set of opinions of cards of note for this deck.)

@king-saproling: After all this, I'd like a possible Review on this deck, as well as this:

Take all Text for Yourself w/o needing to Steal!

This is a 1 Damage KO Deck. Utilizing Card Advantage, a Myriad of threats to slow those down, Heck, I actually put the High CMC stuff in as Atemsis Bantha Fodder. just to win a game; so they're not useless at all as this is how Atemsis, All-Seeing Works as a CMDR; high amounnts of unique CMC Costs for use.

But what about these?

1: Hall of Gemstone : (I guess Omnath Reserve works here?) 2: Frontier Siege (Ramp or Kill... I'd rather ramp; not enough powerful creatures to be a "Dragon"...) 3: Silent Arbiter (Is this why you said "No." to a Teferi Killer? ) 4: Angel's Trumpet (But why use this, W/O Hydra-Kitten-chan? 5: Uba Mask (I, uh,,, How good is this? I never understood how these effects are "Good".) 6: Abundance (It's a Random Pick, but at least you get to choose which pick needed. II keep.)
7: Teferi's Puzzle Box ( Mindmoil ? IN MY ?! Permanent Keep.) 8: Meteor Golem If only what this guy can do IRL is safe; as it's not. Awesome effect; almost like a Bramblecrush on legs; Artifice also. Keep.). 9. Cauldron of Souls (This looks good for my Cromat "No Counters Allowed" Deck. But why the recommendation?
10: Colfenor's Urn (Uh... I'd have an opinion as long as I know Exile Stoarge Plus'.) 11: Lifeline (I'd like to make a list of stuff hates, & recursion is one. Since we're in theme, this Pases.) 12: Mimic Vat (This is secret tech for Superfriends; but what to use w/ here) 13: Mirrorworks 14: Not of This World (This wasn't chopped. This was Planet-Cleaved. How many creatures here have 7 Power?) 15: Pariah's Shield (I guess it's for Omnath? I'd like to change this up after this as well as work on my Atemsis Deck for this.)

As well as the Losers of this deck...

1: Wolfhunter's Quiver (There is a combo involving this, Thornbite Staff , something w/ Deathtouch, & It That Betrays to wipe a whole field clean while going to Value Town. Why the cut?) 2: Akroma's Memorial (I re-entered this in as it's Mana-Pricey, but we've Omnath Anyway; so putting this online is proof of Omnath #1 's HUGE Ramp.) 3: Destructor Dragon (I guess we've already enough flying stuff; & this was just a clunker.) 4: Lignify (Why cut this, & not Song of the Dryads also? Is this for turning a creature into a mere blocker?) 5: Eldrazi Conscription (Is this Aura really that bad? Alright, Tuvasa the Sunlit has it now.) 6/7: Noxious Revival / Reclaim (Reclaim is at least, affordable (Quasi-Recursion via Topdecking; Noxious Revival is basically the same, but on Gitaxian Probe level power. Why does everyone think Phyrexian Mana Cards are so good? I'll never know...) 8: Scour from Existence (Do I Other Ways of Destruction? I guess I'll allow the cut.) 9: Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre (Are Eldrazi that Bad here? It's either This, or Kozilek, & It that Betrays. Should I trust my gut on this?) 10: Chrome Mox : Replaced by Nyx Lotus indefinitely unless it gets banned. 11: Key to the City : (I guess The Quasi-Rummage requiring more mana for one to have a creature unblackable, then untap to Draw. I didn't think I'd be better off w/o Discarding...) 12: Ratchet Bomb (Blowing up Mana Rocks; someone said (Kinda...), But you were right about this as a cut; I thought it as sketchy.) 13: Sensei's Divining Top ((?_?) I mean, even Noxious Revival is understandable, but saying Chopp'd to a Big Staple of all Commander/EDH? I'm at a loss...) 14: Harmonize (Should I put Rishkar's Expertise back in?) 15: Gilded Goose ((Looks at Card.) Why say no? It makes food, & ramps. Just imagine the (Weiß)Versatility this can do. 16: It That Betrays (Why say no to this? is it that average? Remember that Value Town Combo...). 17: Kozilek, Butcher of Truth (Does this attract that much hate? Is that why the Eldrazi are veto'd here? 18: Wall of Tanglecord (Actually, good piont; would rather bust defenses, not use them.) 19: Questing Beast (Are you confident to suggest cutting Kitten Hydra-chan? It's one of the best cards in this case, sadly...)
20: Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger (Doubling Land Mana; & more so, while Halfing everyone else? Is the problem w/ big fatties I didn't know of even?) 21: Bow of Nylea (+1/+1 Counter on a Creature? 2 Damage to a flyer? 3 Life? & Retrieve 4 Cards from the Yard to the Bottom of your library in any order? Attackers have Deathtouch? Damn; I'd actually put this in now if I've a way to Untap Freely for this...)

& the underdogs?

1: Gingerbread Cabin (Is this worth keeping? Seems lackluster...) 2: Nissa, Worldwaker (Searching for all Forests? Why not Landfall like mad? Opinions?) 3: Prototype Portal + Ugin's Nexus Extra Turns w/o Seedtime . Good, or not?)
4: Sword of the Animist Is this good for ramp? I'm wondering...) 5: Umbral Mantle (Yeah, this could've been good, if the Shaman Staff 1 Damage Deathtouch Steal via IT THAT BETRAYS is far better even w/o the last piece!) 6: Yeva, Nature's Herald : (Is another Restricted to just Creatures worth it?) 7: Nylea, God of the Hunt : Already got a way to Trample like MAD, & I've other ways to increase both Power & toughness for my creatures anyway. Nylea, Keen-Eyed ? Worse here, but better in Animar, Soul of Elements all-creature builds. Oh, & the latter demands Topdecking, otherwise, you might just wasted a good card.

Sorry for the immense sized comments; I just want to point out my opinions; & I'm sorry if So, that said, I'll revise my Atemsis, All-Seeing Deck later; It's night where I'm at...

Later! :)

DrkNinja on Daretti, the Lord of Artifacts

I'm not Guerte, but here's my opinion on the matter...

Batterskull is great but there are so many other cards that would be better used in that slot for Daretti

Ugin's Nexus is really only good if you do the Prototype Portal + Ugin's Nexus combo

I don't like any of the eldrazi being in there as there is no real way to cheat them out which is why darreti is broken; I do however like the Kozilek... I had to think about it but a counter in red is pretty cool

I'd like to see Scrap Mastery, Ashnod's Altar, Krark-Clan Ironworks.

Also you are missing some really abusable staples like Darksteel Forge + Platinum Angel or Karn, Silver Golem + Mycosynth Lattice targeting lands to destroy them, or (Since it's mono color) Caged Sun/Extraplanar Lens/Gauntlet of Power for the butt ton of mana

Also I can't get behind it but I have to respect the Blood Moon
