First few thoughts:

I will keep Preators, because well...PRAETORS.

Some infect spells will still be around (flavor-wise and as alternative win-con) for ex. Glistening Oil, Triumph of the Hordes, Tainted Strike or Phyresis.

Not sure about Fauna Shaman (I have one from old Meren deck), and whole Meren-recursion idea (involving eldrazi tokens generated with From Beyond and Awakening Zone. They are ok-ish ramp and pump exp on Meren.

Hideaway lands - this idea just bumped into my head today when my friend casted new Emrakul with red one (that was really bad :D)

I will definitely think about the above suggestions as well.

• morning coffee brought me an amazing idea! I remember when I won this guy at LGS - Kiora's Follower can be a powerhouse here! He's cheap and so there will be no problem to cast him early since this deck is UG heavy anyway. He can act like a mana dork (obviously), but can also get bonkers with other cards letting us to activate some stuff additional time per turn. For example:

Gyre Sage - enourmous amount of green mana. Twice.

Mikaeus, the Lunarch - 2 counters on each creature I control IN A SINGLE TURN? Sign me up and the pope too.

Simic Manipulator - stealing 2 cheap dudes to shield myself from attack? Why not.

Yisan, the Wanderer Bard - just LOL.

Contagion Engine - OH WELL. BAD LUCK BRIAN.

Everflowing Chalice - same deal as with Gyre Sage

Hadana's Climb  ^Flip - this duo can kill someone out from nowhere. RKO!

I'm so proud of myself :D

TheErebos I definitely agree Kiora's Follower should be added in the synergy with Yisan IS bonkers!!!

I'm looking forward to see the creation of your deck! Deckbuilding and refining is one of the best joys imo! Going to one of my groups tomorrow to see how my decks fair up against other people, excited since I been tweaking all of my decks xD

I feel like I'm closing this one. Finally.

I need to make a revision of mana base since I changed a lot of things without taking a look into lands. But this won't be a problem.

There are some cards in maybeboard that I feel like I just need to add, but I can't find any space for it. Maybe You can look into it and gimme your opinion about the final concept.

I definitely like Kruphix in the deck as yes you will probably be always drawing cards, and floating dat mana is always going to help and storing them. Zegana I don't usually like in 4C decks as the double green and blue hurts...a lot, maybe Tishana, Voice of Thunder?

Vedalken Orrery can be transitioned into Leyline of Anticipation? I agree with Cathar's Crusade being a bit too slow, Tamiyo is decent but not great in this current build. Now JTMS is great as it does everything you want it to. I just wish Privileged Position was a 3 cmc drop, or even 4 but I still like it. I would add it in if only your permanents get targeted a lot. If not I would try Greater Auramancy first as it protects the enchantments you really want.

It is...

...compleat.

Now u can playtest and tell me whatcha think (playtesting is strange in compare to paper-fishing. I get Retribution 8/10 "games").
