Deck Description

This is my second attempt at an EDH deck. My commander is Sedris, The Traitor King. However, I can run a few others, including Crosis, Garza Zol, Nicol Bolas, or Sol'Kanar.

I do only very limited land destruction and I do not implement infinite combos. Those rules are etiquette in the groups that I play in,

Cards that share synergies:

Sedris + Teferi's Veil: It bypasses the end of turn trigger, so you keep your unearthed creatures. They still are exiled if they go elsewhere (except phasing).
Protective Bubble + Nicol Bolas -or- Crosis the Purger: They're dropping either part or their whole hand.
Protective Bubble + Steel Hellkite: CMC targeted Disk on demand.
Protective Bubble + Malignus: Massive unblockable. Even without, Protection vs red cant stop.
Sanguine Praetor + Sedris: Unearth creature you need to sac to destroy creatures of CMC. You do this in response during/after combat.
Teferi's realm + spatial binding: Complete control over what phases or not. Can destroy enchant based voltron and can disrupt artifact based voltron.
Teferi's Realm completely takes care of token creatures.
Malfegor + Jace's Archivist: Cast Malfegor, drop hand. Get new hand from Jace's Archivist.
Sedris + Malfegor: Use previous hand drop to drop fatties, whom you unearth for cheap.
Sedris + Spellbound Dragon: Get +X/+0 for dropping a big fattie. Unearth Fattie next turn, and wash rinse repeat with Dragon.
Sedris + Dracoplasm: Unearth biggies, second main phase, sac them to make big dracoplasm.
Army ants + any land you have: All your lands are stripmines now. Have fun.
Magus of the Unseen + somebody else's tapped Nevinrryal's Disk: Take and pop!
Shapesharer + Dracoplasm: Makes a dying draco look like _your_ legendary! Just add unearth for more fun.
Bojuka Bog + bounceland: Aww, poor reanimator decks. If they're faster than you, you can also pop your graveyard as a last resort.
Crypt of Agadeem + Sedris: Tap for a pile of black mana, and then used as activation for a line of unearthed nasties.
Tomorrow Azamis familiar + Jace's Archivist: Draw 7? Take the best 7 of 21!
Shimmer + Copy Enchantment: Completely hose down green and white. Better if you can stagger the phasing effects. Spatial Binding can also be a bargaining chip for temporary allies.
Ink-eyes, servent of Oni + any unearthed creature: I dont exile my critter and I get one in your graveyeard.
Kederekt Leviathan with unearthed creatures: Exiled? Dont think so. They all go to my hand thankyouverymuch.

Friendly spells or plays:
Mourner's Shield: It can stop damage from a source imprinted. I've used this to save a 'picked on' player.
Stormtide Leviathan: Can enforce a temporary no-fight time. Good against those pesky non-flying green mages. Great to have opponents protecting YOUR creature.
Army Ants: Can destroy that Galvony Township that's giving everybody else a fit.
Hoard-smelter Dragon: Similar to above, except for that batterskull or similar.
Spectral Searchlight: Giving mana is really nice to do, especially if you can get them to tap out :D

Thank you much, natzito. My problem now is trying to find what to remove that will give me an equivalent bang for my buck.

I have 4 sol rings, but don't know what to take out for them. Instead, I use sculpting steel and mizzium transreliquat to duplicate them.

I use the fattie Bloodgift demon, who is a targetable Phyrexian arena.

Unfortunately, I cannot afford the good dual lands, Bribery, or damnation.

I would like to get Acquire, which is "Bribery" for artifacts. It was in Fifth Dawn.

Also, note one big weakness are hoser or crazy enchantments that green or white plays. I have 6 cards that can handle enchants: some flat out destroy, some clone, and some take, and one is a tuck.

My next weakness are artifacts. I throw in Vulshok battlemaster to get rid of things like greaves, as well as to disrupt equipment voltron. The idea with artifact removal is so I can just take stuff easier (cause it's no longer bolted down).

I also have to deal with wayward sorceries and instants. I chose not to have explicit answers (counters) for the fact that EDH discourages them via card disadvantage. What would have been counters are a total of 16 cards that copy and/or steal from others. I really want a bribery or acquire, however bribery is a 20$ card. My total deck cost is around $80. Acquire is a dollar rare.

One of my initial ideas was for this to be a weird form of grixis control via phasing and older effects. In that end, I use teferi's cards that control such. I didn't even realize that also could kill tokens outright, along with hosing all sorts of other decks. And noted above, mass land destruction is frowned upon, however shimmer is annoying. However I still maintain control with spatial binding, albeit at 1 life per permanent.

I also chose not to include cards that tutor, aside that I own 4 unlimited demonics. I personally find that tutoring in a 3 or 4 person edh game slows it down to a crawl. So I rely on draw and draw substitution mechanic. I do use perplex occasionally as a transmute. However I only have 3 cards, with 2 being for lands.

I would like a more consistent means of gaining life. Griselband looked great, but alas. A biggie with lifelink would be ideal. The best would be one that costs no more than a dollar or 2. I would also like Lord of Tresserhorn as a possible commander: 4 mana for a 10/4 regenerator is -scary-.

Cards I don't see as the best in this deck are as follows: Crosis and Garza Zol. I would love either a way to gain life on a beatstick or other scary that can live through a disk or o-stone.
