Not sure of the dates and times of these changes but here's how the thought process went down at those times
Initial deck idea -> actually having a goal. This included the addition of extra turns, control, and MLD. The original deck list had just a bunch of big creatures, big enchantments, janky interactions (see Thran Turbine) and only won games when I got super lucky
Deck with a purpose -> Added better counterspells and rocks. Pretty straight forward, did research and found some rocks I liked and I thought would help me pump out big spells if commander didn't stick around. This included things like Sol Ring, Izzet Signet, Gilded Lotus, and Thran Dynamo.
Deck that actually won a good amount of games -> Deck that didn't fold to actually good opponents. This is where things got tricky, because for the longest time I was struggling in match ups where my opponents also had a clear goal and ran enough answers to stop me. So I had to cut more cards that were less useful like Bribery and cut some other cards that were just win-more type cards. I cut a bunch of eldrazi, cut planeswalkers like Tamiyo, the Moon Sage and Ral Zarek. I had to cut cards that weren't actually doing enough for me like Jhoira's Timebug and Clockspinning. I also took a serious look at my tutor suite, given that I had only run Mystical Tutor at the time. I got Fabricate, Personal Tutor, Muddle the Mixture, Gamble, and Merchant Scroll somewhere around this time.
Around now was nothing super important but I cut Blightsteel Colossus and Isochron Scepter which were kind of difficult calls to make. There was just minor tweaking other than that.
The deck as it was -> The deck as it is now. I took out all the MLD over a long period of testing, and I also lowered the cmc of a fair portion of my spells, and I added Intuition. This is when I cut most extra turn spells, under the premise that they only do above and beyond when I have a bomb in suspend, other than that they are just an Explore for a ton of mana and if they get countered it's a waste of a turn. So instead I've focused on doing more things with each turn than trying to take more turns. Also I turned Gilded Lotus and Thran Dynamo into Fellwar Stone and Mind Stone due to reduction in mana cost and they also just don't put such a big target on themselves. Was a great change wouldn't go back.
More minor tweaking, I have been testing most of the cEDH cards they have for Jhoira and I've been deciding which cards I like and don't like. And so a good portion of my now superfluous extra turns were used as testing slots for a bunch of different builds and I've come up with my next iteration of the deck as it is currently. Also added a changelog (lol)
->A whole host of changes, I've been trying out new packages including a crazy Intuition package that resulted in a guaranteed cast of Enter the Infinite using Mizzix's Mastery. I've been trying blue moon packages. (Blood Moon,Magus of the Moon, and Back to Basics) I have also added Blightsteel Colossus back into the deck, as well as my land destruction package. Because MLD is bae. The description is also getting an overhaul to more accurately reflect present day thought process.
Alright, I've brought the deck up to my current paper list, and I'm currently testing a couple new packages in place of 4-5 cards in this list. I will as always extensively test against multiple groups over a long period of time and decide whether or not I like the changes. Til then have fun killing people with what was my current list. Also fixed the sideboard.
Spruced up the description a little bit, brought it all up to date again.
Had a four month hiatus and came back to some heat for my colors. Obviously went straight to testing. Of course adding the new fetch, new Narset, Flood of Tears, and Dockside Extortionist, which in turn lead me to put Tidespout Tyrant back in.
20230814: Adding dates to the changelog to make it actually a log. Today I'll be updating the description to be more helpful. I ended up getting a new phone so my decklist got deleted and there have been quite a few sets since the last time I updated this so I will be adding some cards and adding my thoughts on some other includes in the deck. I will also be changing the art choices on a few of the cards, I know it may not matter at all but I do like to include my favorite copy of all these cards in the list. The only problem is that the Narset doesn't seem to have the JP alt art version I run in paper. I also wasn't seeing my decklist at first so I will have to delete a duplicate I made because I thought this one had been deleted somehow. Yeah lots of stuff this update but it won't be extremely obvious unless you read this change.
