You have no maximum hand size.

bronze canyon
Is the plan to go Voltron?

Is the plan to go Voltron?
no
its clues
could be an alternative win con tho
i mainly wanna focus on clues
bronze canyon
Ok, bant clues. And do you intend to draw cards with them, or use them as artifact tokens for other purposes.
fathom swan
kinda both
draw cards and able to get a load of them and use somehting like [[cyberdrive awakener]] to overwhelm
gaunt pollenBOT
bronze canyon
If you want to sacrifice them, it can make sense to run some cards that make it more efficient (reduce activation cost and such)
fathom swan
ye i have seen some
bronze canyon
Ah, then you might prefer keeping them, and cards like [[Five Hundred Year Diary]] become relevant
gaunt pollenBOT
Legendary Artifact — Clue
Five Hundred Year Diary enters tapped.
: Add 
for each Clue you control.
, Sacrifice Five Hundred Year Diary: Draw a card.

also is it worth having back up no maximum hand size cards just in case my commander gets killed whilst i have lots of cards in my hand?
https://moxfield.com/decks/GDG9TydTTk-gR6mKeBixQg this is what i have so far
oh yeah should prolly say i want the deck to be like 75 dollar budget
bronze canyon
Nah, typically, if you have more than 7 cards, you can just discard to your best 7 and still be good.
fathom swan
alr
bronze canyon
Ok, I think there is a lot you can find in bant colors regarding clues.
fathom swan
yeah i think i need more help structuring it finding cards shouldnt be hard i just dont really know what things to put in and what not or if i have too much or too little of a certain thing
bronze canyon
Ok, so there is [[Rise and Shine]] to act as a secondary Cyberdrive Awakener.

Target noncreature artifact you control becomes a 0/0 artifact creature. Put four +1/+1 counters on each artifact that became a creature this way.
Overload 
(You may cast this spell for its overload cost. If you do, change "target" in its text to "each.")
fathom swan
i have that in my list
bronze canyon
Sweet
Now, these are ways to go wide with your clues. There are also some ways to go tall, with creatures that have a power/toughness related to the number of artifacts/clues/cards in hand. Or cards that provide such a buff.
fathom swan
i have academy manufactor in my list aswell also peregrine took so tons of token making and then i can animate them into creatures with rise and shine or cyberdrive like you said
bronze canyon
[[Nyssa of Traken]] and [[Senator Peacock]] are two cards that could help your creatures push through for damage.

Legendary Creature — Human Advisor
Artifacts you control are Clues in addition to their other types and have ", Sacrifice this artifact: Draw a card."
Whenever you sacrifice a Clue, target creature can't be blocked this turn.

basically free use of my clues aswell as tapping

In case you go tall with something like a [[Broodstar]] or [[Thousand Moons Smithy]]

Affinity for artifacts (This spell costs 
less to cast for each artifact you control.)
Flying
Broodstar's power and toughness are each equal to the number of artifacts you control.

: Add 
.
Whenever you cast an artifact or creature spell using mana produced by Barracks of the Thousand, create a white Gnome Soldier artifact creature token with "This token's power and toughness are each equal to the number of artifacts and/or creatures you control."
bronze canyon
[[Inspired Statuary]] could make your clues tap for mana

Artifact
Nonartifact spells you cast have improvise. (Your artifacts can help cast those spells. Each artifact you tap after you're done activating mana abilities pays for .)

[[Shimmer Dragon]] would allow you to tap your clues for cards without sacrificing them

Usually not, but if you have artifact synergies, you might

You can also use on-theme cards like [[Kellan, Inquisitive Prodigy]], and the slightly expensive [[Academy Manufactor]] for ramp

Sorcery — Adventure
Investigate. You may play an additional land this turn. (Then exile this card. You may cast the creature later from exile.)
bronze canyon
Well, I do have a list of lands you can browse, best sort by cost. : https://archidekt.com/decks/19327300/nonbasic_lands_per_color_combination
There are also other commander options for this theme. But maybe you really like the fish?
fathom swan
im up for other recommendations
the fish man is the best ive seen and i like his abilities
of at upkeep investigating aswell as no max hand size and being able to become really big

[[Sophia, Dogged Detective]], [[The Third Doctor]]/[[The Seventh Doctor]] with either [[Susan Foreman]] (is immediately your ramp)
gaunt pollenBOT
Legendary Creature — Human Detective
When Sophia enters, create Tiny, a legendary 2/2 green Dog Detective creature token with trample.
, Sacrifice an artifact token: Put a +1/+1 counter on each Dog you control.
Whenever a Dog you control deals combat damage to a player, create a Food token, then investigate.
3/4
Legendary Creature — Time Lord Doctor
Whenever The Seventh Doctor attacks, choose a card in your hand. Defending player guesses whether that card's mana value is greater than the number of artifacts you control. If they guessed wrong, you may cast it without paying its mana cost. If you don't cast a spell this way, investigate. (Create a Clue token. It's an artifact with ", Sacrifice this token: Draw a card.")

If you would planeswalk, instead look at the top two cards of your planar deck, put one on the bottom of your planar deck and the other on top, then planeswalk.

bronze canyon
Well, I looked them up as alternative options for the commander you've picked. Not necessarily better, but different.
