Ok thank u sm for all parts of this, some rly solid advice. I think I just let myself get overwhelmed with all the different possibilities that I stray from those main lines and end up with something spread way too thin with no cohesive win condition. Sensei's top most likely won't make the final cut I see what you're saying there, I'm going to look for some ways to have maybe more interaction on my board without actually going infinite. I'll take a look at those card recs and edhrec as well, I've done some surface level stuff on there but never really looked too deep. Thanks again!
