How about Bothersome Quasit mono-red spellslinger? Goad everything and nothing can block. Sounds like a blast for me!

Another crazy one would be Daring Thief. Load up your deck with tap/untap effects and things to make random junk tokens and just take all the good stuff!

DrukenReaps Best of luck with the Olivia deck : ) I could see it being fun and fast, and it's a really swingy card. Definitely one that could start swinging early and hit hard late.

And yep, the pony is very fun. My main idea was to use Rarity for the B-side ability of protection rather than mainly the cost reducer part. Giving a Mischievous Catgeist  ^Flip evasion with a Reconnaissance Mission or Curious Obsession out is like a repeatable 1 mana draw 2. Or you can use protection to block removal on a biggie like phyrexian dreadnaught or save it for blocks to make Alaborn Zealot into an absolute menace.

One of my favorite pony tricks, and it's a little convoluted, but it's to get Rarity or Mother of Runes to give evasion to Taranika, Akroan Veteran who attacks with Daring Thief and it not only protects the thief but instantly untaps it for pre combat ridiculousness. No one ever expects Daring Thief to be a problem that they need to address : )

Balaam, I saw the Mardu version on MTGGoldfish, and thought i could do better. So I thought about it a little bit, and I remembered Role Reversal. So i looked up cards that exchange permanents, and I saw Daring Thief among others and thought it would do good. If you have any better suggestions, please make them! Thank you!

Depending on competitiveness and mana curve etc. I avoided cards that use the exert mechanic and otherwise required combat phases to trigger their tap effects. All of these cards do something when either tapped/untapped or in some cases both. This is by no means an exhaustive list

Arbiter of the Ideal, Augusta, Dean of Order, Ballynock Trapper, Daring Thief, Fallowsage, Goblin Sharpshooter + Basilisk Collar/Gorgon's Head, Thermo-Alchemist, Wake Thrasher, Mikaeus, the Lunarch, Thraben Doomsayer, Merfolk Looter, Goblin Welder, Merrow Reejerey

Drop Rings of Brighthearth . Most of your abilities are triggered not activated. ("Whenever", "when", "during"). Replace it with something else that works on "triggered" effects or "enters the battlefield".

Jack-in-the-Mox is out of your color identity. Chicken a la King could replace it.

Felhide Spiritbinder , Arbiter of the Ideal , Daring Thief or others with "inspired" could be very good combo'd with your Lobe Lobber

Commander damage is always a good win-con. Blackblade Reforged , Octopus Umbra . Mostly you shouldn't really be trying to win too often with ILLEGAL CARDS.

I like the engine you built here... I don't like King Macar - that's a big mana cost for a dude that doesn't do anything. You're talking about ramp but have no big spells. I mean, if you take out the king and the Skysovereign, and you could be running Lurrus companion - just things to think about. Now, what replaces the king? I don't know... But you need a way to deal a mass amount of damage or have some other large impact on the game after drawing so many cards... So, again, I love the inspired engine, you just need a finisher. Maybe stuff like this:

Servant of Tymaret Disciple of Deceit Daring Thief Oreskos Sun Guide Siren of the Silent Song Glint-Horn Buccaneer Chasm Skulker

This is a really interesting deck idea and a funny way to use a somewhat niche commander.

• Warning: Jank incoming

If you really want to make someone lord of the salamanders, you could Donate an Arcane Adaptation or Xenograft . Even better, you could use something like Puca's Mischief or Daring Thief to swap it for something nice of theirs.

Hello, ForceofWillSmith!

Thank you for the comments and suggestions. I think modifying the deck with them would make it more reliable and consistant. They are certainly options I am going to try out.

True, the whole Daring Thief + Liquimetal Coating combo with the Gold tokens is totally unnecessary but I included it for amusement's sake. I will pull it out, try your suggestions and see how it plays. Thank you, again!
