This is the current list I was originally working towards, but lately I have felt that something was a little wrong with it: it feels both underpowered and inconsistent (while I realize that Sedris can never be as broken as some generals, I would love to make it a little more competitive than it currently is).
Note: like I said, I do not own all of the cards yet, thus my current substitutes are included. The *'ed cards are the ones I am feeling really unsure of.

Some quick questions (I have quite a few that I will ask later): is Gifts Ungiven better than Intuition in this deck? Not sure which is preferable. 2: Should I get rid of the equipment? The equipment is good, but I almost feel that my creatures should be scary enough that the equipment isn't necessary. I was thinking of replacing it with more tutors (mystical tutor) and more artifact mana (gilded lotus, maybe the signets?). 3: I wanted at least one infinite combo (as a fail safe). Would Kikki Jiki+pestermite be the best in this deck, or is there something better out there? My final question (for now), is whether or not I should play synod sanctum to take advantage of Sedris' ability? Would it be better as a Teferi's Veil?
Any and all advice is welcome
