How Can I Put Sunhome Guildmage into these Decks?
Commander Deck Help forum

I would like to put Sunhome Guildmage into these two EDH decks, but I am not certain what cards I should remove to make room, for it. For my Gisela, Blade of Goldnight deck, it shall be an easy decision to replace Boros Charm
with the guildmage, but I am less certain about my Numot, the Devastator deck, since replacing the charm with the guildmage would leave that deck with one fewer card that would synergize with Whirlwind of Thought and Wandering Mind, so I could possibly replace another card, with the guildmage, instead.
What does everyone else say, about this? How can I put Sunhome Guildmage into these two decks? I certainly would appreciate any feedback that you are able to offer, on this subject.

RiotRunner789, I consciously avoid infinite combos, and red and white are not typically known for producing great amounts of mana rapidly, but I still feel fairly confident that that guildmage would be very nice in at least one of those decks.

Looking at Gisela,
Combustible Gearhulk and Tectonic Giant both give you card advantage and damage to an opponent. Gearhulk being more of a burst and Tectonic being consistent. Both are less mana intense in the long run.
AEther Flash: Older card that only kills one of your creature cards (and even that creature still gets its ETB) and keeps your opponents from only having creatures with at least 5 toughness with your commander out.
Descent into Avernus, Citadel of Pain, and Burning Earth play well and are on theme with mana barbs. They are also all similarly priced and the only expensive-ish cards I'll recommend.
Having at least one Sulfuric Vortex effect that stops life gain is good in a deck like this.
Rem Karolus, Stalwart Slayer could be put in and even work as a backup commander. Plus side, it costs the same.
My point is, there are a ton of better options and the plus side is there are cheap and nonoppressive options as well.
Edit: Typo correction

RiotRunner789, those are definitely some nice cards, so I shall at least consider some of them, for this deck.

Do you have a way to make infinite mana or do you routinely have 4 to 8 extra mana per turn?
If not, I wouldn't put him in any deck.
