Great analysis of Torpor Orb! I had no idea it neuters so many all stars of the Legacy meta.
Your thoughts on Artificer's Intuition? Great synergy with Welder, the artifact lands and your decks CMC. Blue would open you up to Stifle as well.
Enlightened Tutor should this be main board? It can grab dreadnought, the artifact lands, Urza's Saga and for your new tech Artificer's Intuition ;)
A playset of Eater of Days seems overkill. 1 or 2 at the most.

Target player loses 1 life for each spell they have cast this turn.
Make a black card that either; takes an extra turn, counters a spell, or gains control of a creature

Great to see another Raggadragga fan. I had a Wolverine voltron deck with a bunch of mana dorks, but then I saw Ragga and fell in love.
My deck is Raggadragga Mana Saga and I have done a lot of work in finding the most perfect mana dorks, like Biophagus, Fanatic of Rhonas, Tender Wildguide, and Torgal, A Fine Hound.
But the true insane power you can unlock in Ragga comes from power-scaling mana dorks. Heronblade Elite is one of the best for Ragga, also Kami of Whispered Hopes. I think there are 4 or 5 more. These allow a fantastically enjoyable combo with Ragga's third ability. You can even go infinite with something like Fanning the Flames with one of these guys and Ragga.
I have focused my deck on mana dorks and 7CMC+ cards (and damn I have some doozies). Last March of the Ents is almost too good with a power-scaler.

I think Mayor of Avabruck//Howlpack Alpha should fit. Or, going in the same set, Wolfir Silverheart. Also, if you're having Fog, Moonmist could factor in. Innistrad set has some cool flip-werewolves.

Incorporated Mogis, God of Slaughter and Solphim, Mayhem Dominus along with Kolaghan's Command to streamline progression and achieve an earlier, more viable win. Remaining card counts have been readjusted to reflect a stronger early game with a focus on preemptive removal and targeted erasure of threats. Unsure if Cathartic Pyre or Cathartic Reunion is the stronger spell in ...

The other Doran and another Tree
I managed to come across Doran, the Siege Tower, another source of Toughness damage for 3 cmc. I removed Belligerent Brontodon. It does the same thing as Siege Tower with a higher cmc, and combine it with Doran, Besieged by Time, the Dinosaur would actually deal less damage

Well most standard strats are with UB so it would be quite different.
We'd have the classics of tron, affinity, bloom titan, eldrazi tron, rdw, delver and twin. No pod though. The big decks right now we'd lose are Ruby Storm (relies on a singular card from a horizons set), Dimir Control, Boros Energy and Boros D&T.
I had some fun building this deck in it.

Welcome back to it! I took some time off as well (well, except for the occasional Pre-release and some Cube with a friend) and yeah, it's wild how much catching up there is to do! And it's absolutely hilarious how truly bad my old "good" decks are now!
Sorry, but I don't have any specific suggestions for Mardu Superfiends. We seem to have a TON of flying creatures locally, so keeping Planeswalkers alive has been a bit of a losing proposition for me, and I just haven't had a chance to really dive into the deck yet.
That said, you might check out some of the recent Mardu Superfriends decks here on T/O and Dihada Superfriends decks over on Moxfield.
Cheers!

ALostWanderer -
Saw your help tag so thought I'd reach out. As a disclaimer though: I've never played Tergrid (vs or myself) and I'm still working on my first Bracket 4 deck myself. So please take all this as "brainstorming", not as "recommendations" ! :-D
FIRST THOUGHTS: MANA BASE AND MANA CURVE
- I love Salubrious Snail's manabase tool for analysing my lands, mana rocks, and rituals as I tweak a deck. If we plug your decklist in, it reports "your manabase is struggling, playing your spells 0.99 turns late on average" (with Tergid over 1.3 turns late). For Bracket 4, you'll probably want to aim for something like "... strong playing your spells [~0.2] turns late on average."
- As you tweak the deck, I rec' taking an especially hard look at your 5-drops (which compete directly with Tergrid) and your 7-drops (which compete directly with her re-cast).
MORE B4 STAPLES? Some options to help find the cards we need and play them quickly …
- Card Advantage: Phyrexian Arena, Dark Confidant
- Tutors: Case of the Stashed Skeleton, Demonic Tutor, Diabolic Intent
- Fast Mana: Dark Ritual, Lotus Petal, Mox Amber
MORE DISCARD EFFECTS, MAYBE?
- As I understand it, Tergrid can sometimes be challenging to play because there are fewer and fewer good targets for her sac trigger as the stax effects pile up + token decks can sometimes run away with games. If you encounter that sometimes, leaning harder into her discard trigger may be an answer.
- Some options here, in no particular order: Syphon Mind, Liliana's Triumph, Thoughtseize, The Raven Man, Geth's Grimoire, Elderfang Disciple, Tinybones, Trinket Thief, Virus Beetle, Cunning Lethemancer, Aclazotz, Deepest Betrayal, Bottomless Pit, Desolation, Necrogen Mists, Oppression, Geier Reach Sanitarium, Chain of Smog
MORE PROTECTION, MAYBE? If you find yourself needing just a touch more protection for your Bracket 4 meta: Cavern of Souls, Imp's Mischief, and oc Lightning Greaves and Swiftfoot Boots.
MORE COMBO PIECES, MAYBE?
- As far as I can tell, you only have 2x combos in the deck (any lifegain effect + Exquisite Blood + either Sanguine Bond or Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose) ... increasing the combo potential (and Tutor effects, to find the pieces) is definitely solid approach to make the deck more competitive in Bracket 4.
- The Find my Combos page over at Commander Spellbook is a great tool, if you want to lean into combos more.
MORE STAX EFFECTS, MAYBE?
- It’s hard to go wrong with the namesake card (Smokestack) in a Stax deck :-)
- If you wanted to lean into Mass Land Denial a little more, I like both Contamination and Desolation.
A FEW FINAL THOUGHTS:
- You might consider adding Feed the Swarm and/or Withering Torment ... they're IMO the best tools we have to deal with enchantments in Mono-B.
- Braids, Arisen Nightmare maybe? I play Sephiroth, Fabled SOLDIER and she's amazing there ... I don’t get that many sacs from her (so she may not be as good in your deck), but her card draw is always superb.
- I'm a fan of Malakir Rebirth, as protection when I need it and a Land when I don't.
- I don't see anything that benefits from Reliquary Tower ... it would honestly be my first drop.
- It's a totally small thing, but if you don't already have very distinct deck sleeves, you might consider getting some ... the last time I played vs a steal-your-things Commander everyone at the table had blue matte sleeves, and sorting out the cards afterwards was a bit of a pain :-D
Anyways, I really hope something in there ^^ proves useful, and I’m very sorry for the spam if it doesn't!
Good luck (and good skill) with the deck!
Cheers!

Gold Standard Mono-Green Elf Deck
Commander / EDH
SCORE: 2 | 1 VIEW
I pulled this out of my old collection from a long time ago, I took out about 4-5 cards and replaced them. But, magic has had so much since I last touched this deck that I just don't know what else I could put in and swap out. There is a expensive elf from the newest set but I don't have it yet and not sure what to take out for it if I did. Not sure I wanna use that new banner from the new set since I already have so many in here.
