Dude,There seems to be some serious heartache on the forums over what constitutes part of a commander's color identity, and what cards are restricted due to the coloring. Still, the bioshift is clearly out from what the examples on the format. Thanks for pointing it out. Luckily, this isn't a big part of the deck, and I will probably be building something new for serious play. Until recently, I have only been playing with my son, and a small local group, so mostly fun/theme decks and not anything really competitive.Thanks again.

Thanks for the comment. I was hoping someone would bring up bioshift. I still don't have a consensus on it though. Other decks that have BR decks have included Boros Reckoner, a RW minotaur, stating the either/or mana becomes a red only card. Still, I'm newish to all the formats, so any other perspectives are always welcome....I use Meren for my commander. Her return ability, I think, is better than Liliana, and easier to maintain with the experience counters...plus she's got that sexy, "I'm half-dead" thing going for her.
My son played this deck as it was last night at FNM. Crushed everyone! Even while he was practicing, all the other guys were talking about how worried they were about his deck. I think I even underestimated how much mana all those scions produce, and how quickly they buff vile aggregate, and bring out the higher mana creatures. Still I think we may play with swapping in a couple triple color lands, or basic lands and lands that cycle the deck. Still, he took 2nd place last night...not too shabby for 12 y/o.
True...I guess if you used it as a flash, and had the ability to kill in one turn it would be good. The only thing you sacrifice if the first strike benefit of a double-strike enchantment. Exposes you to instants that give deathtouch.
Nope, I'm not sure about it. Will ask tonight at FNM. The idea was based on endless one as a 0 converted mana creature. I don't know if this will allow him to be cast as at least a 1/1 creature with the mana reduction from herald of Kozilek...definitely not the easiest way for a infinite combo though...just trying to be creative and still keep this deck built purely on Eldrazi. Again, more for fun than anything else...still has been pretty good just as a standard deck.
Love it! I always wondered what I could do with those crazy little bas#@!$.You might think about swapping in a Berserkers' Onslaught for a permanent double strike, or some Aspect of Mongoose for the spell and ability protection...just to add some insult to the injury of badger assault.
