while it looks nice in paper why would you want champion of the parish when you could drop a shadow apostle?the only thing it does is delay Griselbrand, not only because you will be droping a champion of the parish but also because you will have white mana witch will delay even more your game, because you will drop less shadow apostles since you wont have so much black mana.I think it can work if you have the expensive dual lands, instead of basic plains, but i still think it is better to just have extra shadow apostles :)

It is not banned anymore. https://www.wizards.com/Magic/TCG/Resources.aspx?x=judge/resources/sfrmodernThey changed not to long ago, i remember going on the list and seeing Despaired Ritual and Pyretic Ritual. (not sure about Pyretic Ritual but despaired ritual was still in the list when they changed the legendary and Planeswalker rules)
If i am not mistaken Desperate Ritual is banned in modern.
I know you can just proxy, i just don't like to proxy when i know i am not going to buy the cards. I hate when my friends came up to play with some OP proxy decks that they didn't even made and have no intention of buying the cards. Because they just want to win and not have fun. But i have to say this is not an OP deck and it is a fun deck, maybe i will proxy, will see.
If the deck was so expensive i would love to try it out :)Very original.
Idd Shadowborn Apostlex 28 on a commander deck? sorry but you can't.
The thing is Illusionist's Bracers doesn't work with slivers, because it doesn't work with mana generating abilities, but with Arbor Elf and Greenside Watcher it works. Basically you can get infinity mana if you equip Illusionist's Bracers and souldbound Galvanic Alchemist.Tap Breeding Pool for mana, tap Arbor Elf to untap breeding pool, since you have Illusionist's Bracers equipped you can untap breeding pool 2 times so that is 3 mana. Now with those 3 mana you use the Galvanic Alchemist soulbound ability on Arbor elf so you can untap arbor elf 2 times and untap, breeding pool 4 times so that is 4 mana.Repeat to infinity green/blue mana. You can do the same with Greenside Watcher and Simic Guildgate.
I though about it the problem is if you can't get your infinity mana combo you have an useless card that you wont be playing anytime soon. You may be drawing lots of cards anyways but you can only put 1 land per turn.But i can see running 2 Enter the infinite instead of Simic Charm
