Any Opinions?

For starters, Paradox Engine (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Paradox+Engine) and Sundering Titan (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Sundering+Titan) are both banned in Commander.


Swamps also aren't allowed.  Wastes (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Wastes) are the colorless basic land.  But colorless utility lands seldomly enter the battlefield tapped.  You can run any/all of them.  I would only run about 3 Wastes (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Wastes).  And that is just for when an opponent uses Path to Exile (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Path+to+Exile) or Collective Voyage (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Collective+Voyage) or such that will let you fetch a basic.


You also don't have enough lands.  Only 32.  And one is Maze of Ith (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Maze+of+Ith), so really on 31 that make mana.  You probably want a few more.  I would run 34 not counting Maze of Ith (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Maze+of+Ith) as a land.


Then I would add in some more ramp too.  You've only got 3.  There's all kinds of colorless ramp: Thought Vessel (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Thought+Vessel), Mind Stone (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Mind+Stone), Hedron Archive (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Hedron+Archive), Dreamstone Hedron (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Dreamstone+Hedron), Prismatic Lens (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Prismatic+Lens), Fractured Powerstone (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Fractured+Powerstone), Unstable Obelisk (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Unstable+Obelisk), etc.  There's a very long list of possibilities.  You typically want 6 to 10 pieces of ramp. 



And lastly, What is Isochron Scepter (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Isochron+Scepter) doing here?  You have absolutely zero instants in your deck to imprint onto it.


Don't mean to sound harsh.  You did ask for opinions.

Oops, sorry. I must have mistyped a couple of things. I don’t remember putting isochron scepter (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Isochron+Scepter) in, and i did mean to put in wastes (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Wastes). I will consider more ramps. Ty
