I'm not sure how well it works since it gives you some hoops to jump through but Haakon, Stromgald Scourge could give your Changelings... I mean Knights some safety in the form of recursion.

TheMr42: I’m gonna have to test that one out. Will let you know afterwards.

Just something I learned from playing my own version of this deck: Conspiracy overwrites the changeling ability, so it actually isn't great in the deck :/

I know that the mana base for a five-colour commander deck will need all of the coloured mana it can get, but the one utility land that I think is strong enough to be worth considering anyway is Contested Cliffs . Three mana to pick off an opposing creature every turn is no mean feat!

You might also enjoy the usefulness of Descendants' Path and Call to the Kindred as ways to drop creatures for free every turn. So long as you have a single changeling out, every creature in your deck is eligible for sneaking out!

This is a really cool idea and looks pretty mean. May I ask how you did the card links with the colors like that? Its really cool

I love the originality of this deck. +1!

Have you considered swapping out the Signets for the Talismans? I like Talismans better because you're not paying one to use them, and I feel they are just faster ramp.

+1 for using changeling well. A lot of people just put it in their deck for no reason, but you executed it well.

Some lands for you to consider are:

Elephant Graveyard , Swarmyard and Yavimaya Hollow .

Altough they don't protect your lords they can regenerate any morph you swing at the opponent.

Arcane Adaptation does work the way you want it to, because of the text, "in addition to their other types". Hope this helps!

Some extra tribal lands you may want to look at could be Ally Encampment , Flamekin Village , Haven of the Spirit Dragon , Mutavault , Sliver Hive , and Unholy Grotto .

All have some juicy flavor for the "every tribe" theme, you're running.

I feel like Contested Cliffs is sorely missing from this list. Repeatable, cheap removal on a land is quite good, and its only unused in edh due to the lack of beast synergy

Would Distant Melody be worth adding for extra card draw?

I like it, it looks like a fun deck! Alternatively I kind of want to call it "I Can't Believe It's Not Slivers" lol. May just need to consider making a similar kind of deck in the future myself.

seems like the new Arcane Signet is a shoo in for this

xSKINCOLLECTORx - Arcane Signet is a shoo in for pretty much every commander deck ever made lol.

The name is clickbait af, but ya know what... I don't mind. Wild brew, good fellow.

ZendikariWol: That’s exactly what I was going for lol. Glad you enjoyed the deck.

This deck is beauteous. Varchild, Betrayer of Kjeldor could be a fun include since your general can tutor for Shields of Velis Vel ;) You might consider these too: Bishop of Wings, Rattlechains, Crested Sunmare, Risen Reef, Sigarda, Heron's Grace, Drogskol Captain, Hero of Goma Fada, Harabaz Druid, Wirewood Channeler, Midnight Entourage, Whelming Wave.

Also, the changeling champions (Changeling Berserker, Changeling Hero, Changeling Titan) could be neat since your general can tutor for them and if you loop all three of you get an arbitrary number of ETB triggers in any creature type. You could draw your deck with Azami or Risen Reef, blow up opponents' boards with Reaper King, get infinite life with Bishop of Wings!

Sir, you are a genius. Unless you have love for Gatewatch flavors - I suggest the Crystals from Ikoria because, even costing 1 mana more than the signets, it may give you more versatility in your pool. And giving you some space for a nice Coat of Arms. That'd be a blast.

And, 34 lands? I guess a deck like yours would need at least 35 because of the colorpie (I never play decks with more than 2 colors with less than 35 lands), but it's only my view. If it works for you (mainly because you have the Signets), don't bother.

+1 because this is a very interesting concept.
