if we are talking inf mana -> inf activations, you usually keep a card in hand at the end, and just thoracle from hand with empty lib.
But if there is maybe some sort of LED combo or other reason you might be hellbent while comboing, but no actuall self-mill combo (you have plenty of mana whenever you need the "selfmill" wincon) I think from the catacombs is a good option, as it's actually a kind of powerfull grind engine in slower games.
if you have other actual mill combos, like some altar of dementia stuff or breakfast. You probably do narcomeba + fate stitcher + dread return as 0 (or 1) mana win post mill

Hello all, just have maybe a simple question. Im trying to add Boseiju, WhoWhoWho

Ok, lemme try this again... I'm building a commander deck based on the meta of Dungeons & Dragons. It basically functions like a one-shot campaign-in-a-box. A majority of the cards come from the Forgotten Realms and Balder's Gate sets (the major inspiration for building the deck),
... but as I've been building, I've been finding better cards to put in, Rakdos Signet instead of Charcosl Diamond, as example.
Ever since Kamigawa: Neon Dyn came out and I pulled a Boseiju, I've wanted to put it in my deck, but for an issue...
Can you search for Boseiju using something like Terramorphic Expanse, Traverse The Outlands, Jund Panorama, or similar cards?
Boseiju is a Legendary Land and specifically produces Green Mana 
, but I would guess that would exclude it from "Basic Land" status...
I've tried googling this, but my searches come up incessantly with pages about "how good Boseiju is" and "what Boseiju does" and so on

Boseiju is not a basic land and so none of the cards you listed can search for it. There are of course cards that let you search for nonbasic lands in your deck, for example [[exploration map]]

How have the lands felt? It feels a bit light given how expensive the commander is, but you'd know best. Personally, I'd recommend cutting the cards that don't do much unless you happen to be in a winning position already e.g., Smitten Swordmaster and Corpse Knight. If you're putting out enough tokens for these guys to be a threat, then you've already got a threatening board state, they're not adding much.

Correct. However this will NOT work for the card's references having a "full party" since the party mechanic this equip is based off requires 4 unique entities matching the combined total 4 types
If you have multiple creatures that fit into the Full Party typal requirements, each creature can only fulfill one of the 4 required types even if they meet multiples like a changeling does. You do however get all the keywords even with one changeling since it only cares about controlling a creature with the matching type

Sometimes you might get lucky and someone discards a bounceland or something. But it's just very dependent on what kinds of lands people run

If you have any suggestions as to what cards could be removed or added (because I'm missing an important piece in the deck), I would greatly appreciate your help.

Which one?

let me find the name

Hoarding ogre

But the reason for all the impulse is that it’s a pseudo mid range that also wins through just casting a lot of spells from exile into my background, and into other spells that have effects when casting from somewhere other than my hand
soft oriole
yeah but you already have a LOT of impulse
your entire sorcery base and a third of your instants
plus multiple creatures
and enchants
rapid solstice
yeah but you already have a LOT of impulse
13 pieces I’m pretty sure?
Actually some of the creatures prob do multiple
Impulse plus midrange etc
That might be why I’m not seeing as much
I have everything with tags
My original goal with this deck was for it to be a storm deck, so it was loaded with impulse, but I changed it and there might be some pieces dangling somewhere that I don’t see

oh and
since its red and green why not etali primal conq
its a little weaker than other etali due to its enters and not attack change but
the other half is a problem

[[Rattleback apothecary]] is more fragile than lifelink equipment for minimal upside
[[Sin prodder]] is on average .9 damage per opponent per turn cycle which is pretty meh at the cmc, cards like [[thermo alchemist]] deal more damage for less setup
The deck doesnt run enough haste enablers to reliably pop [[heartless hidetsugu]] id consider more protection/recursion for your commander instead to keep the pings going
Never been a fan of [[combustible gearhulk]], here its 6 mana deal ~8 on average, or 6 mana draw 3, both of which are below par rates and your opponent decides
Angraths marauders is just every damage increase enchantment but more fragile cause its a creature
Nice interaction package, might i suggest [[soul shatter]] as a very hard to avoid aoe removal card
Id also encourage big score/unexpected windfall as they synergize with the commanders first spell trigger, on the topic [[double visions]] plays very nicely with the commanders instants synergies

Boros has some cool cards, but I'm not convinced.
Gruul is very good at pushing Niv through blockers.
Simic is mainly fixing my mana, but most green pairs can do a good job of that. Might be a weaker pair in the deck...
Golgari gives the deck some graveyard play
Izzet is decent for evasion, but Niv already has flying. The card draw is decent, but clunky in guild colors. The best card draw is monoblue.
