#Commander for a weird UB combo deck

I found a fun combo I've been trying to build a deck around involving Scaretiller and the New Capena fetchlands (since they don't need to tap to fetch), and various other pieces to repeatedly tap and untap the Scaretiller to fetch every basic land out of my library and gain a lot (or depending on the other combo pieces, infinite) life. I chose UB for the colors because it gives access to the transmute cards for extra tutors to find the pieces, but haven't found a commander that really feels right at the lead. Here's the basic framework I have for the combo pieces and transmute cards so far:
https://www.moxfield.com/decks/Amk9pCuUz0GkWgY3d2pBPQ
The actual combos involve Scaretiller, either of the New Capena fetchlands that fetch both islands and swamps, and then any the following additions:
Retreat to Coralhelm
Paradise Mantle, (Freed from the Reel or Tideforce Elemental)
Paradise Mantle, Voltaic Construct, (Illusionist's Bracers or Tiller Engine)

I know it seems like a lot of work to pull of a combo that doesn't just win you the game, but I just love the idea of being able to ramp out all my lands in one go and do it outside of green. So anyone have any suggestions for a commander (or partner/background pairing) that would either synergize with this somehow, or otherwise provide good general value?

I'd say you definitely want something like Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth in here so you can tap and float for a manab every time one of the Capenna fetches enters, but before its sacrificed. Don't really have a specific goal or commander for you in UB, but getting a lot of extra mana alongside all those lands seems like a very explosive turn.

That doesn't work because scaretiller puts the fetchland on the battlefield tapped. Would only work if I have tiller Engine or an amulet of vigor out so then I could tap it for mana before the sac

Was thinking maybe [[Tormod,]] because would also generate a ton/infinite zombies that way but not sure what blue partner to use in that mix

Multiple cards match “Tormod,”, can you be more specific?

[[Tormod the desecrator]]

[[opposition]] is a great tap-outlet in blue
