Hello! Working on building my first CEDH deck. I wanted to build one around the mechanic that really got me into the Magic: investigation! As this is the first CEDH deck I've built, any deck critiques and card recommendations/swaps will be much appreciated.

My strategy revolves around an infinite combo with Academy Manufactor + Lonis, Cryptozoologist + Shrieking Drake . When shrieking drake enters, Lonis makes a clue, which causes academy manufactor to add a food and treasure. I return shrieking drake to my hand with its own ability and use the treasure to rinse and repeat, creating infinite clues and food and infinite casting triggers. With this, I can mill my opponents out in 1 of 3 ways. Brain Freeze will mill everyone with the infinite cast triggers from shrieking drake. Grinding Station can mill everyone out if I activate it's ability between each cast of shrieking drake during the infinite combo (grinding station untaps when shrieking drake enters again and more clues/treasure/food are created). Fleeting Memories can mill everyone out if I activate Lonis's ability with X equal to large number of clues after generating infinite clues. If my opponents are running cards like Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre, then lonis's ability can also be used to steal those cards and make it possible to mill my opponents. I added some untap cards like Minamo, School at Water's Edge, Wirewood Lodge, and Kiora's Follower so I could utilize lonis's ability twice in one turn to assist with this.

I also added Doubling Season, Parallel Lives, Panharmonicon, and Adrix and Nev, Twincasters because any of these cards would allow the Academy Manufactor + Lonis, Cryptozoologist + Shrieking Drake combo to also generate infinite treasures. With infinite treasures, I can draw as many cards as I would like from my deck using the infinite clues I have, allowing me to search for the milling cards if needed.

Dream Stalker is a backup to shrieking drake, that can generate the same infinite combos if Doubling Season, Parallel Lives, Panharmonicon, or Adrix and Nev, Twincasters are in play. Or if Inspiring Statuary is in play, as the food or clues can then be utilized with the treasure to recast shrieking drake.

Nexus of Fate gives me slight insurance against mill decks, and can be used in tandem with Mechanized Production as an alternate win condition.

Noxious Revival and Expel from Orazca are included so that I can put any desirable permanents on top of my opponent's library to steal with Lonis.
