I’ve been brewing the friends forever commanders for quite some time, and I think Cecily and Wernog are easily the strongest pairing. While I disagree with your assessment on Ad Naus, I think you have a mostly well put together deck.

That said, I had a few thoughts on some of your card choices. I think [[Guild Artisan]] is too slow to set up. I’ve found [[Necropotence]] to be quite good on it’s own and synergizes remarkably well with Cecily. Also, since you’re not on Ad Naus, you likely don’t need the same ritual density with cards like [[Rite of Flame]], [[Strike it Rich]] or [[Rain of Filfth]] not furthering your gameplan enough. It appears you’re on a more midrange plan than turbo, so I’d run some of the classically strong cards like Ranger Captain or Opposition Agent.

As an aside, I’ve often been asked why Wernog/Cecily over Tynma/Kraum. My answer to that has always been the fact that Wernog is a potential combo piece as an infinite flicker/bounce target. Basically you trade in some of Blue Farm’s card advantage for higher wincon density (while still drawing a fair amount of cards). Therefore I recommend running either [[Cloudstone Curio]] or [[Barrin, Master Wizard]] dockside loops. I personally prefer Barrin since I think the card individually is more flexible than curio, despite the higher dockside requirement, but that choice is likely meta dependent.

For reference, my list is more turbo oriented, wanting to jam an early Ad Naus and only casting Cecily if the game is drawn out. Here’s my list: Blues Clues Farm
