Welp, no more Mr Nice Sky Summoner, I'm digging out Jin baby! This is now a straight up 'dig to combo' deck, not especially lean but reasonably so. I literally added 5 U counters, this deck is much more prepared to deal with instants and sorceries, but a bit worse with creatures. In terms of power, the deck is suited to more competitive play, where doing this deck's various things (tutor up Proteus Staff, use that to tutor up Sphinx of the Second Sun and Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur, then use all three to arrange for a timely Sunder (with Jin out) to make it very hard for other people to do anything, at which point Proteus Staff can then dig out Dramatic Reversal + Isochron Scepter to then win via Altar of the Brood or maybe just Capsize and drakes. The deck has a few still extent clunky cards that serve as back up plans, if I decide to proxy some bigger name mana rocks I'll pull those I expect, but Shark Typhoon and Metallurgic Summonings are both fairly strong cards.

I suspect if I upgraded the mana more this wouldn't be a terrible cEDH premise, but being Poteus Staff based does limit your ability to run other key creatures, a very annoying thing in cEDH. Since this deck is getting more competitive, I just did custom headings to help make it easier to read at a glance, hope it helps!
