Right now this is just a basic shell of what I have, not really a deck yet, just somewhere to post it.

My overall concept on this is a little different from the current Brago builds, I intend to run slightly more instants, and use what I have come to call "The Pauper Trinity" (Mnemonic Wall, Archaeomancer, and Scrivener) to bring back instants, and sometimes sorceries. As a result I will run slightly less creatures and more instants and sorceries.

I also want to try to keep most of my artifacts and enchantments to 3 or less so I can recur with Sun Titan, so 3 keeps popping up.

I checked with my LGS, even went through the wall of commons(literally a 6 foot wall of racks with boxes of commons), but I was not able to find a Reality Acid, so I will have to order it. (another 3 drop)

Other cards I am thinking about:


Cards I should have in this list but don't own(or own an extra):

How can Snapcaster Mage make infinite turns with Time Warp? Archaeomancer sure, not Snapcaster.

Hey!
I'm thinking on a Brago EDH too this days!
Here some cards i want to fit in my version and might be good for yours:

Steel of the Godhead Ghostly sword for a ghostly King, Brago takes both benefits from this card (Make him unblockable is the first choice ofc)

Snapcaster Mage I think this is a must, also can make an inifite-turns combo with Time Warp in the right situation.

Medomai The Ageless Over the Eternal Dragon.

Enter the infinite + Laboratory Maniac + card draw (Wall of Omens re-joining the battlefield for example) would be a nice closure too.

Ghostly Prison More control to keep you safe from attacks.

Enchanted Evening + Brago attacks (Blink all your lands, just keep the mana for a Sunder/Armageddon)

Boseiju, who shelters all Always a good choice.

I would add more counters and maybe an Isochron scepter.

Snapcaster does not make infinite turns with Time Warp because flashback exiles the spell on resolution. Bonestink is right, you need something like Archaeomancer for that.

And Enchanted Evening does not let Brago, King Eternal untap lands, because it doesn't remove the 'land' super type. And even if it did, you couldn't Sunder/Armageddon before your own lands returned to the battlefield. Brago returns them during the resolution of the same effect that exiles them at the same time. And you can't cast spells or activate abilities during the resolution of a spell/ability. Even triggered abilities have to wait to enter the stack until the entire spell/ability has resolved.

I've been considering maybe including an Isochron Scepter. I have about 8 2cc counter spells. And if I include that, then maybe Silence and Orim's Chant would be worth considering as well. (NOTE: Orim's Chant can be kicked when cast off of Isochron Scepter because IC does say to "cast" the imprinted spell without paying its mana cost. Since kicker is an additional cost, it may still be paid.) Right now, though I think it's just too narrow.
