Listen buddy, I don’t think you understand how important it is that I florp my second cousin’s ex boyfriend’s post on the hot new bug patties at McDonalds on sale for $12.99. If I do I get a free bottle of fresh air and a complimentary upper body rinse in the labor hydration station next to the bathrooms.

I understand where you’re coming from, this kind of thinking led my old pod to power creep into near cedh power levels. It’s totally up to OP how to build decks, but in my experience keeping my auto include list very short leads to more exploration and experimentation and less competitiveness.
I think I just put sol ring and lightning greaves in everything now, but I used to put skullclamp, mimic vat, swiftfoot boots, temple of the false god, homeward path, terramorphic expanse, and a couple others in eeeevery deck. It wasn’t bad, but it did seem to make each game feel similar to the last.
Just thought of more cards!
Lord of extinction - great value late game
Momentous fall - you have some big creatures and you want to sacrifice them. Why not draw a bunch too?
Bonehoard - good for when your graveyards get big
Rite of consumption - there’s probably a better version of this out there now (sorcery speed is bleh) but it’s useful for damaging face if there’s lots of stax or big creatures out.
I had a Vhati il dal deck with Savra in it like 10 years ago. She’s strong once you guys dudes on the field and can keep the board clear of creatures really well.
If you can afford it, I had a bitterblossom that was great combining with Savra.
@SpuncerTV wowowow this guy looks so fun. He’s got a pretty spendy cmc but he might be a good include somewhere else
I’m thinking of upgrading the UB baldurs gate precon captain nghathrod, he’s a lot of fun. I was going to make an Omnath Locus of All but the deck ends up being more about black mana generation than I’d like. On the lookout for cool abzan commanders too!
I like Glaring Spotlight for more interaction control, lightning greaves because lightning greaves, and then for lands I find a spot for thespians stage, cavern of souls, and if you’re playing black or just have a nasty pod bojuka bog for uncounterable graveyard hate.
Buried Alive is a fun card for reanimating or Living Death wipes. I love grabbing Terastodon, Rune-Scarred Demon, and an Avacyn Angel of Hope and just dumping them onto the field when I need them.
Damn I really feel this. I own a game dev studio and the pressure to make the biggest, best selling game is real from all sides (publishers, staff, gamers). However the people who fund games (publishers, platforms, etc.) are starting to understand AAA is too expensive and takes too long to make. There’s some silver lining in that more ‘medium’ experiences are getting a chance and I want to stay at this scale because I know infinite growth is just a recipe for eventual collapse. I may never own a mega yacht but I will happily work with my friends and take care of my family by being content with what risk and reward is available at this scale.

I made a grouphug coin flips, wheel, stax deck that had too few win conditions once. Suffice to say, I was probably the only one at the table having fun and I rarely won with it. I ended up winning with insurrection or politics a lot.
Make sure you have some backup plan for coin flip commander damage. Once people catch on it’ll be harder and harder to protect Okaun from the whole table. I see a goblin sub theme you could lean into or with blue you have reigns of power or spell recursion effects that could help win more games.
