Thank you for all the feedback! Really appreciate it!

I'm actually banking on my commander staying in its zone until I need it, so that's not an issue here. Also, the deck I based this on sucked ass in 1v1 but was a shining fucking star in multiplayer matches (2HG and free-for-all). As for all the cards you said I forgot, I either glossed over them or missed them entirely, but I'm going to move things around and try and find places for all of them if I can, ESPECIALLY Black Vise, which I didn't even know existed! I already have a Misdirection so that's an easy fix, and I don't think I will need Sol Ring because the deck is fairly cheap on casting cost considering the usual commander decks go upwards of CMC 7+ for the best spells, whereas I'm content in the neighborhood of 3-4 for my average mana cost. Also, Celestial Dawn will be finding a home in this deck at some point.

Now for replacing stuff, I completely agree with Mind's Eye for Howling Mine. As for the two counter-creatures, they're more for the annoyance and to fuck with the opponent's mana management if need be. Plus with all those big spells out there, sometimes people get excited and use all their mana to cast a spell without thinking it out and waiting a turn or two to be safe. Beyond that though, they could be replaced if necessary. Wand of Ith just fits the deck flavor, so that's the only reason I added it, but it can be a problem if someone is low on life and is in a bad spot. Again though, it can be replaced if needed. Umbilicus (and Blood Clock) are both kinda nice if I can get them out early on since they can bounce lands too, but things like Acidic Slime do concern me a great deal. I need to play the deck first and see how those end up going over. Ill-Gotten Gains I'm probably going to drop just because it can hurt me just as much as help me. Fascination I'm on the fence with, since I could possibly use its mill to my advantage, but it's a big if. With Whispering Madness, I'm banking on using it to empty hands of things people need right then and possibly giving them a crappy replacement hand. It won't always work like that, but it could be fun either way. I probably won't ever use the Cipher ability either. Syphon Flesh is definitely a better option here, so that will be going in to replace Reign of the Pit. As for Soul Ransom, it may not allow me to keep the creature I take, but it does net me two more cards and drops another player two cards. I'm not playing it for the creature advantage at all, but it can be useful for a short while.

Again, I really do appreciate your feedback. Let me know what you think about my reply and we can debate what changes should be made. Only thing I want is for the deck to be better, so discussion will really help.

Let me know how it goes. This looks like it could have done excellent potential

Actually with all the cards in here that hit your life if you choose to ignore them, it's rather easy to kill someone off if they aren't paying attention. Add in the fact that even though I'm being passive, they still have to worry about active players besides me. It's true that the one goal here is to try and get the sen lighthouse lock going, because once that happens, everyone will only get one last turn before I ruin their entire strategy. Think of this deck as the Adolf Hitler of commander. Seems harmless at first, until it suddenly becomes a complete tyrant who controls everything

Looks like of could be interesting. Have you considered 4 blisterpod main? I feel like that would play nicely into what you're doing here, because if they survive until you decide to wipe then you will get the tokens for extra ramp

Goyf is as easy to ruin as popping tormod's crypt or relic of progenitus, and yeah no one will see it coming in game 1, but game two they are gong to know exactly what you're trying to pull, and depending on what you're matched against, you might be screwed regardless. Control will laugh off a goyf and infect will just glide right past the little shit. Burn doesn't care about it because it's only one creature and it will just burn you instead, and tron laughs at it because most of its big players are much larger without buffs. Zoo, which is where you usually see goyf, knows exactly how to deal with it because mirror matches, and twin just combos until you die.

It's a good card in the right deck. This isn't it. Original, yes. Props for that. Nothing but love! Effective? Not really.

I would swap Scourge of Valkas in for Spawn of Thraxes, and Slumbering Dragon in for the Archwing Dragon. Also I would say swap Regent in for Thundermaw, since flying in mass numbers is rare

Ok so this is an older deck mine, but I wanted to get some feedback on it since I just ordered the last few cards I needed to complete it. It's my second commander deck I've actually built, and the deck it's based off of works insanely well in multiplayer formats like two headed giant. Drop me a line on one of your decks as well and I'll give it a look, or another deck that isn't yours but you feel needs attention.

So other than adding goyf, it's just affinity? Doesn't really fit into a deck like this top be honest

Done! Also thanks for the comment. I'm a big fan rakdos myself usually, but I couldn't see it being that strong on it's own, and since green has some very interesting utility to add here, I went with that. I was heavily debating a grixis build, but it just didn't feel like it would hold up.

Toying with the idea of using Bottomless Put in place of Chainer's Edict. A good alternative to Lily as well I think

You might also look at the new temple from bfz. That with the posts could be nice

Dude I was just thinking about making a deck for that the other day! It looks great, but you might look at maybe some cheap counters to prevent someone from countering your donate. Negate would be a good choice. As for a deck of mine, I'm always looking for input on my crazy 8s deck. I just built it and I'm testing it out to see what works and doesn't

See the only reason I have conspiracy in there is because then I can use homing sliver to look for Eldrazi and phyrexian creatures. That fact alone makes this deck ridiculous

You should find a spot for ugin in the main deck. He is insanely good in tron. I have a friend who runs gr tron and an early ugin can wreck

I can't believe it either. I want to build this and test it, even if it's only a proxy, just to see my opponents face when all my phyrexian Eldrazi slivers all become colorless and I nuke the field with all is dust
