Looking for feedback on Melek for multiplayer commander. There is many directions Melek can go. However, I am looking to create an experience that gives me a different experience all the time. For example, right now I am looking for a few ways to win

1) dragon beat down2) Spinx-Bone Wand3) Storm / Spell Slinging (Ignite Memories, DragonStorm)4) Unblockable Pumpable Dudes

I am having a hard time balancing this.

I had Guttersnipe/Talrand in here before, but they are just too big of targets at a multiplayer table.

In the maybeboard i've included cards I've played with, but have recently swapped out.

I don't want to spend a lot of $ to make this deck. Unfortunately I have found that mystical tutor is a must - to give me that 'different' experience since its the only card that can search for sorcery's. (Which give me the artful dodge, etc, combo's).

If you know of different paths other then high tide/turnabout for the spellslinging side of things, it would be great. I'm finding that a bit boring after a while.

Notable Combos/Cards

Acquire Steals Sol Rings and other ramping cards

Epic Experiment and Mind's Desire : Crazyness Occurs

Nivix Cyclops , Wee Dragonauts Charmbreaker Devils: The guys i can pump and make unbloackable when i cast a bunch of spells

Artful Dodge, Shadow Rift : Gives my guys unblockable

High Tide Turn About Past in Flames Insanity happens. If people know another way to use this, it would be great

Dragons: you'll notice some dragons in here. All are interchangeable but i've prioritized ones with haste as after a dragonstorm I need to hit hard. I've tried including the dragons breath / reckless charge, but they never really worked reliably with the other dragons.

Sphinx-Bone Wand I've been trying to find a way to incorporate this card in a deck, and this one seems to be the best at it. The trick is getting it into play, and having enough spells

Rush of Blood : Putting this on top of my deck just makes someone huge after pumping.

Blazing Shoal: I recently hit this with an epic experiment and being able to discard large dragons (multiple times) while making melek unblockable gives me an instant kill too.

Any thoughts on how to recur my own dragons if they hit the graveyard? Time reversal is my only thought as I won't spend the $ on the one that allows you to untap lands.
