Can you please explain the throne of geth combo more.
If mana vault adds 3 and sol ring adds 2.. but chain veil required 4 I don't see how this goes infinite.
Aminatou + Tezzeret the Seeker
I have set up a instant win combo package with Tezzeret the Seeker and Aminatou, the Fateshifter.
Tezzeret the Seeker [-2] getting Throne of Geth.
Aminatou [-1] on Tezzeret. Use Throne of Geth (can just sacrifice to itself if need be) to put Tezzeret on 5 loyalty. You can now get the The Chain Veil and still have Tezzeret remain in play. As long as you have the 4 to activate it, you can look to go infinite.
Activate the The Chain Veil with 4. Aminatou [-1] Tezzeret, and now he'll have two activation's. Tezzeret [-X] to search for Mana Vault/Sol Ring/Mana Crypt/Grim Monolith and tap for mana. Tezzeret [+1] to untap The Chain Veil and Mana Vault/Sol Ring/Mana Crypt/Grim Monolith to activate The Chain Veil again. Now you can Aminatou [-1] Tezzeret and he'll have 3 activation's. At this stage you can activate The Chain Veil infinite times.
I found them a little expensive but well worth it.
Another thing is you can easily abuse Draco
Sure you are never casting it but it's so easy to tutor him to top and then use a brainstorm, scroll rack, or jace to put him back for more abuse.
I haven't updated the list in a while, but I do have Insidious Dreams and I remember throwing a Draco in there for memes (not listed).
The list needs a lot of updates (and I have no time to do the rigorous testing necessary for it), but I'm a little curious as to how stax works with something like this...
Yuriko isn't effected by a lot of stax effects so it's been promising so far. Best ones so far being cursed totem, chains of mep*****oples, damping sphere, and winter orb
I found them a little expensive but well worth it.

Hello again. Recently I've kinda did a wipe on my decks (kept one) and am starting over from scratch. This means I can finally play all those decks I've been wanting to play but just never had the resources for. At the tippy top of that list was Astral slide.dec
Zur fetches it. And then synergy and stuff happens.
I've played against Brian Weissman a few times for 1vs1 commander online and he always brings a strong deck to the table. You know how some people just always seem to have the perfect draws
I've played against him hundreds of times and still learn from games.
Whether it's Cube, commander, Vintage, or whatever I learn a lot from those games.
I am a bit unsure on how something works, can you explain it for me?
You posted:
Find Tezzeret, the seeker , minus him to find throne of geth. Bounce Tezz then sac throne to bring him to 5 and Aminatou to 3. Use Tezz to find The Chain veil and Activate. Now bounce tezz again and get Mana vault and tap it. Use tezz to untap vault and chain veil and repeat for infinite planeswalker activations. Find Sensei's divining top and check top 3. If a combo is on top take it, otherwise activate tezz and shuffle. Repeat
How does this make infinite activations? it looks like you would not have enough mana unless you are getting an extra 1 mana from a source I don't see.
I took apart the deck recently but here's how it works:
Tezzeret the Seeker [-2] getting Throne of Geth.
Aminatou [-1] on Tezzeret. Use Throne of Geth (can just sacrifice to itself if need be) to put Tezzeret on 5 loyalty. You can now get the The Chain Veil and still have Tezzeret remain in play. As long as you have the 4 to activate it, you can look to go infinite.
Activate the The Chain Veil with 4. Aminatou [-1] Tezzeret, and now he'll have two activation's. Tezzeret [-X] to search for Mana Vault/Sol Ring/Mana Crypt/Grim Monolith and tap for mana. Tezzeret [+1] to untap The Chain Veil and Mana Vault/Sol Ring/Mana Crypt/Grim Monolith to activate The Chain Veil again. Now you can Aminatou [-1] Tezzeret and he'll have 3 activation's. You just need to make sure you start searching for colored artifact sources so that you can recast Aminatou from the commander zone.
Once I figure out the cuts I can work on adding lands or mana rocks as well. I don't think it needs too much of a change but likely at least some talismans as well. As far as twitch or youtube goes, I don't know, I started less than a week ago
What's your audience like for your YouTube and Twitch channels?
Yeah, Niv is even more busted than I thought. I underestimated how much raw card advantage he can accrue over the course of a game, much less a turn cycle. He's awesome.
The audience will be very relaxed. Just joking and messing around while building for the random general. Then I edit it down for a smaller youtube video
Yeah I've had a lot of good interaction with Niv, personal favorites include a brainstorm and bazaar to kill someone's daretti in response to an obliterate
I think those are a good start. I really want to try Thousand year elixer, treasonous ogre, and bloodcheif as well on top of those.
I have really enjoyed Niv in the deck so far. It's actually castable and the biggest threat (Notion theif) dies right away when I draw for the turn so that's also a perk. I know that as far as cuts go the combo pieces would be first to go and possible 1 reanimation spell since I would be more able to hard cast now thanks to Kydele. I can Niv "Bad Nezahal" but that still makes it pretty damn solid, especially since we can abuse it more than Nezahal with our own spells.
Also some self promotion:
I started a twitch channel in which I will brew EVERY commander in edh and post that on my youtube channel as well. If you love brewing as much as I do then I would love to see you there.

I haven't played this deck in a while now
http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/21-12-18-yuriko-control/
This is what I'm running. So far has had a lot of promise and resilient. I will need changes because it is heavily based off another list
Almost forgot Arcane lab, orb of dreams, and dumb things like massacre and submerge.
I also like a small reanimator package but honestly that could be cut since I am debating on grafdiggers cage and planar void
Yuriko isn't effected by a lot of stax effects so it's been promising so far. Best ones so far being cursed totem, chains of mep*****oples, damping sphere, and winter orb
I highly suggest Insidious dreams and Sakashima the Impostor
I found them a little expensive but well worth it.

Ideas on things I should cut because clearly there are too many cards.
I think I should reduce the cards above 4 cmc
I've played against him hundreds of times and still learn from games.
Whether it's Cube, commander, Vintage, or whatever I learn a lot from those games.
Cobblepott, Gaka, and Razzilox also all come to mind.
Mostly lost interest in it. Just found it similar to my Breya deck but worse. Plus without the general it doesn't work well
I took apart the deck recently but here's how it works:
Tezzeret the Seeker [-2] getting Throne of Geth.
Aminatou [-1] on Tezzeret. Use Throne of Geth (can just sacrifice to itself if need be) to put Tezzeret on 5 loyalty. You can now get the The Chain Veil and still have Tezzeret remain in play. As long as you have the 4 to activate it, you can look to go infinite.

Kydele (Duh)
Wheel of fortune (1st Priority)
Timetwister (1st Priority)
Windfall (1st Priority)
Notion Theif (1st Priority)
Waste not (Also really good)
Teferi's puzzle box (Probably not)
Gilded lotus (Midrange goodness)
Emrakul, the promised end (Amazing finisher)
Bloodcheif ascension (Good with everything added)
Cut/Ribbons (Finisher)
Treasonous ogre (Great midrange and combo)
Kruphix, god of horizons (Ramp storage?)
Bring to light (Finds thief, reanimation, or wheels
Mana vault (Eh)
Villanous Wealth (It's cute)
Staff of domination (Combo piece)
Umbral mantle ( Combo piece)
Lightning greaves (Probably not)
Bloom Tender (Ramp)
Ulamog, the ceaseless hunger (Good when cast)
Regrowth (Eldrazi synergy)
Eternal witness (Same)
Treasure cruise (Weeee)
Sword of the paruns (Probably not)
Thousand-year elixer (Seems ideal with Kydele combo)
