Sideboard

So this is another slow build my play group did this with the C15 set. we draft the commanders (usually who calls dibs on colors/commander spoiler/theme). I called dibs on Yidris deck when the chaos theme was revealed. So the rules of this slow build use card price as the metric for card strength. So after each play session using these decks we get 4 points the points are used for card swaps using the following system:

If price of new card minus price of replaced card is <$1 - 1 point
If price of new card minus price of replaced card is >=$1 but <$2 - 2 points
If price of new card minus price of replaced card is >=$2 but <$4 - 3 points
If price of new card minus price of replaced card is >=$4 but <$6 - 4 points
If price of new card minus price of replaced card is >=$6 but <$10 - 6 points
If price of new card minus price of replaced card is >=$10 - 8 points

Unused points accumulate and undoing changes returns points to your pool. So if you want the Jace, the Mind Sculptor instead of that mountain wait 2 sessions or rebuild. In general I think these rules will result in 4 card adds each session and an occasional rebuild to work in those high cost bombs.

Here are my goals with Yidris:

  1. Fun/Chaos
  2. Get into the red zone
  3. Win through Chaos (aka Combo/Synergy)

I will comment before and after each play session for my thoughts and why I am making the changes. Thanks for viewing and Upvote if you like it!

Session 2, Game 1, 5 player: First dead

Session 2, Game 1, 4 player (no atraxa): Winner!

So here are how the games went:

Game 1:

As usual Yidris, Maelstrom Wielderfoil hit the ground ahead of all my opponents decks (turn 3) because the base deck has nice rocks and mana base. swing on turn 4 for player damage woot! Cast Waste Not cascade into Wheel of Fate. Cast Reforge the Soul cascade into Windfall, get 23 zombies 30 black mana and 15 cards. Cast all rocks and equip Whispersilk Cloak onto Yidris, Maelstrom Wielderfoil, cast Worm Harvest 3 times for 21 worms. This is turn 4... So archenemy again Whispersilk Cloak dead, Yidris, Maelstrom Wielderfoil dead, Waste Not dead. My turn 5, I zombie and worm stampede spread between Atraxa, Praetors' Voice, Breya, Etherium Shaper, and Saskia the Unyieldingfoil. The bros Kynaios and Tiro of Meletisfoil had a pillow fort up. I was being nice next time I just kill 1-2 players instead of bringing 3 players to <17 life. Next players turn 26/26 Managorger Hydra with me named by Saskia the Unyieldingfoil plus chaos cast from Order / Chaos I die. my misplay that led to this was i should have cast Waste Not before yidris cascade then cast Chain of Vapor targeting Managorger Hydra and cascade into Wheel of Fate. Oh well deck worked protection package died but I am cool with it that means it did it's job.

Game 2:

Similar start equiped Yidris, Maelstrom Wielderfoil into Nath of the Gilt-Leaf a few everybody megaloots and cascades later I have 25 elves, 14 damage dealt by Underworld Dreams and 74 life from Sangromancer. I lose everything to archenemy again Swiftfoot Boots, whispersilk, Yidris, Maelstrom Wielderfoil, Underworld Dreams, Kydele, Chosen of Kruphix *f-etch*, Sangromancer. But my elves and Lightning Greaves survived! A few board clears later nobody has anything I cast Consuming Aberration attach the Lightning Greaves kill Breya, Etherium Shaper she is annoying she deals 12 damage to my face in salty response I don't care I have a 100/100+ with shroud out. I eventually mill out my opponents with a Devastation Tide recast Consuming Aberration followed by every rock I own. I would like to thank the bros Kynaios and Tiro of Meletisfoil for putting everyone's lands out of their decks and into play.

Summary: Overall I am happy with my adds all my equipment got destroyed and Underworld Dreams and Nekusar, the Mindrazer got removed. So in my book they were good adds. In general my deck performed well and would have done better without my noobish pilot errors. The issues I run into every game is archenemy and the bros Kynaios and Tiro of Meletisfoil pillow fort. Archenemy can't be helped the bros pillow fort might need some enchantment removal added into my deck as answers. Also some lifegain (Tainted Remedy) and artifact/yard hate cards to deal with Breya, Etherium Shaper. But for now I am going to add more win cons!

In: Liliana's Caress Out: Glint-Eye Nephilim cost: 2pts ($1.92)

In: Megrim Out: whim of the fates cost: 1pts ($0.14)

In: Psychosis Crawler Out: Treasure Cruise cost: 1pt ($0.08)

So I am still going for chaos and victory approach. leego5502 suggested notion theif awesomeness, I like where that could go so I am keeping that on the back burner if I need to do a rebuild. Thanks for all the advice!
