Okay, so I have this really crazy idea. There's this combo that I discovered when Conspiracy 2 came out and I've been wanting to abuse it for a really long time now. And that combo is Spy Kit + Remembrance. Here's how the combo works:
When a creature equipped with Spy Kit dies, it triggers Remembrance. Since the creature had the name of every single nonlegendary creature, you can basically tutor for any creature. This combo is essentially Eladamri's Call for nonlegendary creatures.
In order to get the combo online (or at least consistently obtain Spy Kit) I am running Nazahn, Revered Bladesmith as the commander. The deck is by no means an equipment deck nor a cats deck. Nazahn is strictly here to consistently get Spy Kit. This may seem like a glass cannon, but I would like the deck to function in spite of losing the key cards of Spy Kit and Remembrance.
Here's the gameplan so far:
With Nazahn's first casting, fetch for Helm of the Host. With Nazahn's nonlegendary token, fetch for Hammer of Nazahn (gotta protect him). With Nazahn's next nonlegendary token, fetch for Lightning Greaves (gotta protect him). With his next nonlegendary token, fetch for Spy Kit. By this time, unless somebody's seen the deck before, no one's gonna know what's up and what you're doing. It's just jank at this point. Unfortunately, the other key card of the deck is Remembrance, so every possible enchantment tutor is going to have to be included for consistency.
So far the deck is going to run those key cards, ways to tutor for Remembrance, and ways to recover these cards from the graveyard and exile. Here's where I'd like some help from the community. If I want to tutor for any creature, I'd need sacrifice outlets. The obvious choices are Ashnod's Altar, Phyrexian Altar, Greater Good, Birthing Pod, and Demonmail Hauberk (which Nazahn can tutor for). I want to add creatures that I can take advantage of dying. But I also want clutch creatures since the purpose of the deck is to tutor for any creature thanks to the combo. So my question is: how can I abuse this combo in these colors? Is there a better white commander that could provide more consistency to the combo? I was thinking of WB but I'd have to add way too many tutors for consistency's sake and I don't want to play this deck the same exact way time and time again.
Here're the staple cards I have so far (I'm allotting 38 lands for the mana base):
With those 17 cards + 38 lands = 55 total cards so far. That means I have 45 more cards to add between mana rocks, mana dorks, responses, and creatures to abuse the combo with.
Again, any help is greatly appreciated! I feel like I have this great idea but there are so many possibilities that I am a bit overwhelmed with it! I know it's gonna be janky but I do want it to be viable.

It only halves Commander Tax but you don't get to add any of it on as Food Chain Mana
Let us say your Commander is 2 Mana
2 Mana Cast Commander
3 Mana From Food Chain
Commander costs (2 + 2 - 1)
Cast Commander
Food chain commander for 3 mana
Commander costs (2 + 4 - 2)
Ah! That's true! Thanks for pointing that out for me!
