I love value machines and ETB in particular. My playgroup is typically playing 7.5-8 power. This commander is pretty much what I am looking for. Focus on control-ish, theft/copy, and ETB value.
Terrified of Torpor Orb effects..packing some counterspells and bounce for those, but might not be enough. My main concern is that I'll durdle too much and my win cons are not strong enough. I don't really prefer to combo out, but I have a Time Warp (blinking Archaeomancer) in there just in case there's a 3 hour long game. Debating whether I should put in dramatic scepter..Any suggestions please, on the wincons or the deck as a whole?
Why does everyone run master of waves in this deck? Dont the tokens just die unless you already have something like gauntlet or caged sun in play? If you blink him that is
Your land count seems extremely high given all the cheap artifact mana, you could probably knock it down a few lands for more ways to draw and more ways to deal with torpor orbs

State based effects are not checked in the middle of an ability resolving, only right before any player would receive priority. If you blink Master of Waves with Thassa's ability there is never a time SBEs are checked when MoW is not on the battlefield.
I built Thassa with the same combo line this weekend. Our decks are pretty similar, so there's not much I can add. If you would like to see my list, I can link it. I tried to cut things like Conjurer's Closet since they cost so much mana. Have you played this list much? Where do you struggle? Looking at it, I might suggest more board clears to prevent aggro from wiping you out early. You may also want to consider Slithermuse to quickly refill your hand. Tidespout Tyrant also seems better than the Giant as a win con.
If you run either Palinchron, Great Whale, or Peregrine Drake they make for good ETB choices to blink because that can let you untap a couple of lands.

Oh duh. Thank you
Shes a deck ive been kicking around the idea of a lot
When I tested Thassa I piled in a compliment of artifact tutors and etb value and often times just wanted to keep flickering solemn simulacrum. I also ran tezzeret in my list and all-too-frequently would just -4 him for solemn to set up for late game control.
