Your main deck looks solid. The Sideboard I'd take out Archon of Valor's Reach and Sigarda, Host of Herons with only 20 lands In your deck the odds of you ever playing them are slim to none. I do like Gift of Immortality as a way to combat boardwipes and I've always been a suckered for Rancor
Gidgetimer on Double-Faced Cards Commander

You needed to continue reading to rule 8 on https://mtgcommander.net/index.php/rules/ and consult 712.8a in the comprehensive rules.
"8. Being a commander is not a characteristic [MTG CR109.3], it is a property of the card and tied directly to the physical card. As such, “commander-ness” cannot be copied or overwritten by continuous effects. The card retains it’s commander-ness through any status changes, and is still a commander even when controlled by another player."
712.8a While a double-faced card is outside the game or in a zone other than the battlefield or stack, it has only the characteristics of its front face.
The physical card that is The Prismatic Bridge Flip is still the same physical card that was Esika, God of the Tree Flip and was chosen as the commander during deck construction when only the characteristics of the front face were considered. The Gatherer ruling you quoted is in reference to casting Revel in Silence Flip or Beyeen Veil Flipat instant speed despite their other sides not being able to be played at instant speed; or playing Tergrid, God of Fright Flip with a Archon of Valor's Reach out naming artifacts.
Caerwyn on How does Najal interact with …

You cannot. "Activate this ability any time you can cast for a sorcery" is a specific term of art that means "Activate this ability only during your turn and only if the stack is empty." It does not actually look at the timing of when you can physically cast a sorcery (thus it is not influenced by cards like Najal, the Storm Runner or Archon of Valor's Reach)--it only checks whether the stack is empty and if it is your turn.
This would be one of my personal nominations for the worst-written phrase in all of Magic's rules, since it consistently misunderstood as having interactions it simply does not have.
golgarigirl on Akroma Keywords First EDH Deck …

I've built Akroma/ Rograkh, Son of Rohgahh before as well. I think Kamahl is probably the overall more powerful option and ramps/fixes/draws better on a budget, but Rograkh can come in early and hard. I've also seen Akroma + Tana, the Bloodsower to allow access to Red and Green for both Rograkh and Kamahl (and some fun things like Samut, Voice of Dissent).
Focus your early game on ramping and you should be able to fill most of your deck with defenses and do well just off your commanders. Other than ramp spells like Farseek, Cultivate etc and defenses like Akroma's Will, there are tons of creatures out there with many keywords. Budget end-game beater options include Baneslayer Angel, End-Raze Forerunners, and Archon of Valor's Reach.

ok i think that you want more than that. go for Filth to add a hidden anthem keyword giving unblockable in some cases
This is if you add and control Necrotic Ooze. Cast Buried Alive and put Pili-Pala, Palladium Myr and Walking Ballista in your graveyard. With the combination of Pili-Pala and Palladium Myr abilities, you can generate infinite mana. Use the mana to activate Walking Ballista's ability, putting infinite counters on Necrotic Ooze. Remove the counters to deal damage to any target.
then you also have Archon of Valor's Reach provides 3 keywords, but if played, or reanimated provides a strong effect
Unburial Rites is just good if you have a massive threat in graveyard, buried for the creature and you can flash it back
Dread Return is even better cuz you get the 2 cards that combo and sac 3 to win
Brisela is good too, just depend on your leaning strat
Survival of the Fittest is crazy good as well.
