i think karn liberatd is better for this job, but i don't mind having a second one for the job. the only problem is what to cut. instant speed removal is always welcome.
Found one gem in this set that needed to be included quickly:
10/04/2015
In: Hedron Archive
Out: Thran Dynamo
Reason: Thran hasn't really been a clutch mana rock in this deck, so I am willing to change it out with the new 4 drop rock. The draw two card function can be very necessary with this deck when I need to reload my hand, so I am excited to see how this plays out long term.
My thoughts on Scour From Existence is definitely a meta call - it can make sense in some lists were people play with a lot of annoying cards that hurt the deck and need to go away, but in other lists it can be meh. I don't see myself including it because I don't think I need it, so if people think it is good I would tell them to trial it out and see.

I'm not entirely too sure on dropping Dynamo for the Hedron. I personally think the extra mana it provides could be useful.
Although, I'd definitely like to find a spot for the foil Russian Hedron I pulled.
How does our deck fight gaDock tee? I am finding a hard time fighting against captain sisal which tutor for it.
My current list really doesn't have a good set of outs to pull it off honestly. Best trick would be to try to rush Daretti into play before Teeg hits the table, that way we can pop those uncastablr artifacts into play.
Figured I'd share an updated visual deck list. Everything is either foil or altered, except for Gauntlet of Might and Mishra's Workshop (hoping to have Klug alter them).
Idk if I'll ever change the mountains. Foil Ice Age Arena promos have been my favorite since I've seen them. Haven't found anything else that has caught my eye.
Well up to your preference. My friends are crazy over unhinged foil mountain and some are suggesting Arabian night mountain. I told them off for being crazy. Not going to sell my organs or body part for a pile of cards lol.
Recently getting a bit frustrated with my edh result in term of 1 vs 1. I still like daretti, but it could well be my build is more suited for multi player and needing tune it for 1 vs 1. Any recommendations for 1 vs 1 build?
It did, but it was worth it. Looks pretty sweet. Lol.
Idk if I'd call it obsessed yet or not, but I am getting a custom art Daretti playmat made. I've received a preview of the outline and it already looks amazing.
He plays Tempt with Vengeance for 8, so I choose to get blockers, and he gets more. He swings at me with all of them, 2 additional 1/1 elementals, Omnath, and 4 Omnath tokens. This swing is lethal if I don't block.
I block Omnath with Myr Battlesphere, Omnath tokens with Myr Tokens, and I eat 8 of his Elementals with mine as they are 2/2s from Caged Sun. This triggers Omnath for exactly lethal again, but I High Market away a token to gain 2 life cuz of Alhammaret's Archive.
My turn, I sequence everything so I get Unwinding Clock and Nevinyrral's Disk. This of course would kill me cuz of Omnath.
His turn, on upkeep, I Chaos Warp Omnath getting a Mountain, then wipe board with Disk. He taps out and casts Omnath again with 0 cards in hand.
My turn I Scrap Mastery, getting back Archive, Disk, Clock, Forge, Duplicant, Battlesphere, bunch of mana rocks, Static Orb, and some other goodies. I exile Omnath with Duplicant. I cast Karn Liberated and exile Dark Depths.
Nice. I find that I need to run 2 version for daretti. For 1 vs 1, MLD mana denial daretti as showcased on MTG top8. another version for multiplayer by doing reanimator and such. I am curious to see sundering titan on the 1 vs 1 list. isn't it banned? or is the French ban list different?

Of my "future upgrades" what should my priority be? Better mana rocks? More value artifacts?
Looks like you've got a lot of good stuff already, but my priority would probably be the mana rocks and Sensei's Top. Top in particular has helped dig me out of a lot of awkward mull situations (although it is annoying to remember to activate every turn cycle). Clock of Omens (which you have) and Rings of Brighthearth are also at the top of my watch list.
Last night, pulled out a win (versus Surrak and Cromat) where I didn't cast Daretti until well after turn 4! Sad Robot + Valakut were key at holding down the fort until I could start unloading a hand full of big spells every turn. The win came from Blightsteel Colossus + Sculpting Steel + Flamekin Village; BSC is quite the card, but can't really be relied on to be useful due to its high mana cost (and anti-reanimation) clause. Still, it's nice to have an out for any pesky lifegain decks that may crop up in my meta, since we can't utilize the commander damage rule without extensive help.
Syou can cheat out blightsteel colossus and darksteel colossus with instant speed reanimation like goblin welder and scarecrow. Gamble only card in hand, look for the colossus, discard, shuffling ability on the stack, reanimate, voila. I won last night with infinite mana, staff of domination and comet storm. Another game won with blightsteel colossus. I played 1 ulamog, the infinite gYre for answer and beat stick as well.

Won't work. Blightsteel/Darksteel have replacement effects. They will never hit the graveyard.
Highly costed for only getting rid of one thing, but could it be viable removal for problematic cards?

Duplicant, Steel Hellkite, Chaos Warp, and Valakut. In other words, not very many. I hate Teeg.

I was Daretti. He was new Omnath.
He plays Tempt with Vengeance for 8, so I choose to get blockers, and he gets more. He swings at me with all of them, 2 additional 1/1 elementals, Omnath, and 4 Omnath tokens. This swing is lethal if I don't block.

He concedes. Talk about close call!
