Looks like murderous cut and sedgemoor witch got confirmed into the list, and agent of shadow thieves got blocked. I want to suggest Etali, Primal Storm since that's gonna give us +3 spells every turn on a sizable body.

That leaves;

Stormfist Crusader yay - 0 nay - 0
Price of Fame yay - 0 nay - 0
Etali, Primal Storm yay - 0 nay - 0

I'll think on these through the day.

I don't think we will be casting etali so that's a nay from me. Not a lot of room for haste enablers either.

it's a powerful effect but I'd suggest we stay very light on creatures until we have 20+ Things that trigger commander.

Stormfist Crusader : Nay. Black has plenty of high quality instant/sorcery card advantage.
Price of Fame : Yay. It just makes sense.
Etali, Primal Storm : Yay. Etali is the real deal. And big plays are the best part of commander.

The first thing that came to my mind when I saw the commander (edit: and background) was buyback, but that's already on the list, so I suggest Swiftfoot Boots to protect our most important creature.

Army of the Damned. Pumps the commander, and gives us plenty of blockers and fodder for the background.

Stormfist Crusader - Nay, there's at least three things I can think of that I'd rather have before this.
Price of Fame - Yay.
Etali, Primal Storm - Yay, because I like splashy plays and WotC still refuse to give us Genesis Wave in every colour.
Swiftfoot Boots - Yay, for all the obvious reasons.

Also, I totally missed that Harmonic Prodigy doubles the sac trigger when I suggested it, but I think you can still make it work.

Nay on Etali, Primal Storm; too high MV, doesn't trigger the commander and relies on opponents library. It is a great card, but I don't think it fits.
Yea on Swiftfoot Boots, it just makes sense here.
nay on Army of the Damned, I think that the MV might be a bit too high here in these colors. This one was a toss up for me, I like it, but I feel like it's a bit too slow for the pace I understood for the deck. Can we add a "revisit later" category once the deck curve shakes out? Edit: changing vote to yea, and looking at rituals to drop the high cost bombs.

On the topic of curve, pumping power off of rituals to the drop a massive bomb is a cool idea. Mana Geyser is the largest ritual I can think of, and could enable those high MV bombs.

I'll go nay on Army. As nice as the cmc is in conjunction with our commander, zombies entering tapped and not having an innate way to cheat the cost makes it a tough sell in my mind.

I'm not sure if its 24 hours exactly, but this one came to me and I think its a great add. Baeloth Barrityl. Entertainer.

Its a great outlet for the boost our commander gives, at either sorcery or instant speed and helps make our swings favorable. He's also pseudo-removal which isn't irrelevant, and if or when opposing creatures die he gives uf further fuel for casting noncreature spells. I think he'd be a great way of controlling the board in our favor.

I think I'm gonna nay army of the damned as well, since we're not exactly a ramp deck and this is only a super late play. That's the third nay and it knocks it out.

I'm gonna yay for mana geyser and Baeloth though, and in a similar vein, suggest Disrupt Decorum for today. Four mv is a good pump and it set up for the next turn splendidly.

Yea for Mana Geyser and Disrupt Decorum those are exactly what we want.

My card today is Reiterate. Buyback rates to be great. We will have lots of spells. We can mess with other peoples spells. Good times.

Goes infinite with geyser too.

Mana Geyser Yay. Great for big plays and shenanigans.
Baeloth Barrityl. Entertainer Yay. Seems like effective yet novel fun.
Disrupt Decorum Yay. Could goad be a subtheme?

Kher Keep. Background food.

Yea on Baeloth Barrityl. Entertainer and Disrupt Decorum: I had missed that the commander can buff up opponents creatures, and goad is a cool subtheme. These two fit the other themes well.
Yea on Reiterate for buyback and narrow infinite combos.
Yea on Kher Keep for tokens.

I already voted on etali. I'll throw in another token maker for defense while we encourage attacks: Ophiomancer.

I'll throw one in yea for Decorum, Keep and Reiterate. And because crazy got in before me, yea to Ophiomancer, card is great.

I'm gonna think on my suggestion for today a little, see what else comes up first. I like the goad subtheme idea though. Its stronger than most folk give it credit for.

My suggestion is Valakut Awakening // Valakut Stoneforge. Utility in a land slot is great and this is quality hand filtering at instant speed.

I think I want to yay all three of those cards, Etali is casting three spells for free and can be a house even on it's own. Even though it really really wants haste. I'm also with the Kher Keep and Reiterate suggestions!

Since we want a lot of instants and sorceries, wouldn't that mean we're a great candidate to cast Past in Flames?

Yay on Ophiomancer
Yay on Valukut Stoneforge/Awakening
Yay on Past in Flames

Now, for my suggestion. So many ideas only one card. But I owe it to my boi, the one, the only, Dreadhorde Arcanist. Slapcaster mage is perfect for this deck imho because we're already a spellsinger deck, our commander can pump it's power so we can do crazy things like play mana geyser, pump dreadhorde, replay mana geyser. It of course also has trample, so it might just kill someone too. Seems good to me. Also I figure we will have 1 mana spells such as Village Rites and Faithless Looting so... Anyways that's my suggestion for today.

Stay tuned to see if I ever suggest a non two mana red creature for the deck!

Ok I don't know if I'm doing this right, but...

Yay on Ophiomancer, Past in Flames, Valakut Awakening // Valakut Stoneforge, Dreadhorde Arcanist, and Bitterblossom.

I'd like to boringly suggest Solemn Simulacrum for likely obvious reasons. It ramps us and is more than happy to die to Cultist of the Absolute.

EDIT: 1000 posts boyeeeeee! Y'all can't nay Sad Robot now, lest you sully the magnificence of this, my 1000th post. Get to yayin'.
