Yup, time to be a scumbag in Expedition since DWD decided to put
Svetya's Sanctum in the format. Sanctum into Speaking Circle has stolen so many games, it's really a ridiculous card in general and Sanctum kicks it into Overdrive.
I'm still unsure on what the exact numbers for the list should be so feel free to tweak it. (running into Grenadins? Put maindeck 4X Storm Spiral. Valks got you down? 4th Bring Down.) Most of the spells are fast speed to take advantage of Svetya's Sanctum which is also the reason for no
Permafrost. So far about 14-4 with this list with losses mainly from mana screw or vs Grenadins before I remembered
Storm Spiral existed.
Realign the Stars gives a neat package with removal with
Fluctuate Reality or card advantage lategame/vs control with
Brilliant Idea.
The market is weakish, but I've liked transpose for fast speed face aegis mostly since you absolutely need Sanctum to stick.
Jennev Merchant is probably fine as well since it has aegis and can block which is nice.
Happy durdling everyone.
UPDATE: Helios was a weak link honestly. Cutting her allows us to run a better manabase (no slow Primal symbols) and Wisdom/Brilliant idea is enough draw (Also, now true unitless mostly!). I also didn't realize that
Vicious Overgrowth has amplify. This gives our
Realign the Stars package a tutorable torch which is great for killing X/3s and relic weapons. Another cool thing is that fluctuate reality often turns most 3/4/5 drops into range to die to overgrowth/Storm Spiral.

View Deck on Shiftstoned
Against flyers there's also Aerial Battle but unfortunately it costs 3. And is too situational for main deck.
But for real, it's definitely worth a consideration since it fits into the realign toolbox. Being able to buy tempo against aggro and later make a big body seems fine, but I'm feeling the effect might be too inefficient (we're not locking board sweeps like a tempo deck nor removal spells to push damage).
I guess I would cut either Bring Down or Equalize, but be careful; the deck is weak to flyers (which Bring Down has saved me from) and Equalize has saved me games (but it's absolute garbage with Sanctum out).
You can check it if you're interested.
I also added Time for ramp and better Market access.
