I like every single creature in the deck at this point. I have 5 suggestions: 4 for your land base and 1 for removal. Somewhat expensive suggestions but nothing too crazy.

• Fill in the format. I suspect Vintage, since you are playing Demonic Tutor.
• What is the budget? If there is none, go with Badlands, Mox Ruby instead of 1 Simian Spirit Guide
• You are playing just 1 blue card, and it's not that much relevant - Windfall. Throw it away and you can then go two-color with much more stable and less painful mana-base. Remove 4 Aether Hub and 4 City of Brass. Play instead 1 Blood Crypt, 1 Raucous Theater, 1 Graven Cairns, 1 Sulfurous Springs, 4 Blackcleave Cliffs
• Memory Jar is an insane card in this strategy, since it causes your opponent to discard 7 cards while it gives you more cards to play. I would replace it for 1 Howling Mine. Jar may well be a reason to still play blue - for Tinker. In that case also replace a few swamps for Vault of Whispers.

Stealing things and caging is fun: I've seen a lot of degenerate things with Mairsil. That said, I have a few small suggestions:

• You mention lands are an issue and color-correcting early. Indeed, while this seems to be the case, I can suggest more multi-lands such as Reflecting Pool, Mana Confluence, City of Brass, and the new fetchable surveil lands from MKM (Thundering Falls, Raucous Theater, and Undercity Sewers), or the route of ultimate color-correcting with Chromatic Lantern. There are, of course, also some of the super-fast artifacts like Chrome Mox, Mox Diamond, Mox Amber, Mana Vault, and the like, but not sure what your budget is.
• A theft option I always run in every blue deck is Commandeer. Nobody sees it coming (or maybe they now do, especially when I sit at the table).
• I'm surprised that you don't have the cutest and cuddliest blink card in there: Displacer Kitten. I see it in your maybe list, but I highly recommend it in the main deck: it's incredibly easy to trigger and it enables so many fun shenanigans.
• Other assorted recommendations: Fact or Fiction, Storm the Vault  ^Flip (you have enough artifacts to make it work), Goldspan Dragon (cute and cuddly treasure accelerant), Memory Jar, Lim-Dul's Vault, Patron Wizard...

When adding in "mana produced" for a card, we list out the possible mana it can generate in order that appears on the card using the common lettering scheme for that mana.

Sol Ring has that field as CC . City of Brass has that field as W, U, B, R, G . Temple Garden: G, W . Ketria Triome: G, U, R .

Implements of Sacrifice would then be WW, UU, BB, RR, GG . While I accepted the submission, I have went ahead and added the proper symbols (so that your deck can see it properly), though card changes may take a while to show.

Yeah man, dialing in the landbase is so crucial for consistency, it can't be overstated. Personally, I try to keep the curve on my decks below 2.00 if I can manage it, which allows me to cut down to 30 lands and retain speed along with ~10 mana rocks and perhaps a few rituals depending on the build. Your build's got plenty of rocks, don't be afraid to cut down a bit as you switch things up.

Here's all the applicable lands within the color combo. Even upon refinement, I'd imagine that your deck will include a few that come in tapped under specific conditions like Spirebluff Canal & Training Center, but that's fine. Just be discerning as to how often they'll realistically come on untapped (quite often).

I'd obviously also recommend the 5-color lands like Mana Confluence & City of Brass if you can afford them or are willing to proxy them. Cheaper options like Command Tower, Spire of Industry & Gemstone Mine, Forbidden Orchard & Exotic Orchard aren't to be forgotten either.

The only colorless lands I'd consider on a budget are Crystal Vein & Emergence Zone. If budget/proxy constraints aren't an issue, I'd also consider Ancient Tomb, City of Traitors & Boseiju, Who Shelters All.

Also give Mystical Tutor, Enlightened Tutor & Gamble a shot for sure. They just got reprinted, they're super cheap right now! Speaking of sick reprints, Sapphire Medallion, Ruby Medallion, Pearl Medallion & Smothering Tithe have all seen big price drops lately. Gotta strike while the iron is hot, ya know...

Lastly, I'd recommend testing out fellow all-stars Elsha of the Infinite since you're running Sensei's Divining Top so heavily & Kykar, Wind's Fury, which can be utilized as both a wincon & and absurd value engine here with what you've already got going on.

These cards are great for constantly losing life. I used to play some of those. Unfortunately when I play this deck with friends, they would mainly target me. Therefore my life total goes down very fast. No need to accelerate it even more. Usually I set everything up for one big turn, draw 20-30 cards at once and then win with whatever combo pieces I just drew. For example I used to play even City of Brass just for the life loss, but eventually had to remove it from the deck. I often ended up killing myself.

However, I totally missed that Cruel Tutor exists, I will absolutely add that one, thanks! Also I will consider Devour in Shadow and Ulcerate

thank you!!

*CMDR needs to go after your commander (asterisks before and after CMDR). Just edit your deck to add it and it'll mark your commander. The deck and tribe makes me think Kaalia, but the name heavily implies Isshin.

Exotic Orchard, Reflecting Pool, and Forbidden Orchard are budget friendly options for any color lands. I haven't looked at the price of City of Brass or Mana Confluence recently but they're great options. These will serve your collection better and can be used in anything 2+ colors.

Thanks warwolf831! I swapped in City of Brass for now. Maybe the cycle lands will work in this list.

This deck definitely travels through time with all the cheap take an extra turn spells! It's fun!
