Winterblast I might add in Lion's Eye Diamond- Looking at the price tag, it's not that bad-looking anymore haha. Also gives me a reason to keep in Trinket Mage.
Thanks for the suggestions!

Just to note, your "Turn 3 combo" is in fact a turn 2.
T1: island > Sol Ring > Pili-pala
T2: island > Grand architect > attack with Pili-pala > tap Grand architect to make > use it to untap Pili-pala making > use it to make Pili-pala blue and then combo off.

I think Brago, Whir of Invention, and Baral's Expertise Would do wonders in here.

Hockeyguy429 I don't see too much use of Baral's Expertise, since it's not that efficient in this deck. The CMC is kinda off-putting since I do have Cyclonic Rift to deal with boards, and it can double as spot removal. I'm planning on additionally getting Toxic Deluge sometime too to deal with annoying boards. I'd definitely recommend it for a more budget build!
I think Brago is kind of appealing in this deck, untapping mana rocks is very nice. I'll consider him, and probably test him out, as I do have one in my trade binder. Whir of Invention is an amazing card, as any untapped creature with an EtB can be used to pay for it, and it can tutor for any artifact! The only real problem I have with it is the high CMC since usually with 5-6 mana I'm casting Ashnod's Altar or Nim Deathmantle. It is quite high on my consideration list, however!
Thanks for all the suggestions!

The thing I love about baral expertise is that you can use it to save breya bouncing her to your hand and then you get to recast her for free

True, I'll consider it for now. I'll be able to test Brago in the 99 in a couple days when I'm with a friend haha.

Baral's Expertise Is not an instant, so you can't use it to save Breya and replay her. For instant bounce there is Evacuation, which is good for opponents who don't expect non-targeted, non-destroying instant removal. Sometimes, bouncing is even more powerful than destroying.

Addrum It's a pretty good budget option, however I don't think it's too efficient for this deck... Cyclonic Rift is an absolute blowout and is also at instant speed. ;)
With the topic of boardwipes, the only one that's amazingly efficient at what it does is Toxic Deluge. I'll ask around with fellow Breya players.
I personally think this deck could do a bit more with interaction, and as you see with my update, I'm planning on adding/removing some cards in it soon.
Might build a more casual deck with Sharuum at helm at this point sometime haha.

You have a budget listed, but on the thread where you were asking fro help you had it described as "competitive" so here is a list of competitive suggestions that are definitely not budget.
Fast mana:
Truly unfair card advantage:
Bomberman combo:

Gidgetimer I was thinking of around more-so 75% cards, but I'm working towards getting some cards you listed some time that are on the higher end.
Mainly I'm just thinking of dropping the land count down, because the CMC is so low.

Auriok Salvagers and Lion's Eye Diamond would be a great combo to include here. Basically any combo that produces infinite coloured mana will be fine.
