Thanks everyone! This is really valuable. Like I said earlier, this idea did come as a reaction (maybe an overreaction...) to control decks 1v1 and wanting to make them suffer like they've made me suffer. I see that it's difficult to pull off in a multiplayer format, but then, with only a handful of games in the format under my belt, EDH seems to be less about control and more about getting off to the races to get your wincon out as quickly as possible. I'll have me a rethink.

Squee_Spirit_Guide Dingus Egg is interesting! Down the line I'd like to add a few sources of Proliferate to the deck and see if I can bust out Liliana, Dreadhorde General's -9 consistently. Right now she's there as a draw engine and a token generator, but I think she'd be a fun wincon!

Epicurus I definitely see what you mean. In both those decks, at least a quarter of your cards are about destroying lands, and many of them destroy multiple lands. Then you have 10 cards dedicated to bringing lands back. I just have 10 cards that remove a single land at a time, and that's not going to do anything quickly enough to be of impact. Unless I pick on one player and decide to bully them, but that only sounds fun if that one player is playing blue control and I need to make it personal.

SO, my decision now is either to go all in on mana removal (including rocks, dorks, and lands) or to save that for another deck since this one is already so specific.

As others have said, I think it would be really hard to pull off as a main strategy. I think the big struggle would be using it as a defensive strategy. With other removal you can use it as needed on permanents that are disrupting you or attacking you, which usually won't make you more of a target than anyone else.

With land destruction, destroying a land after someone has cast a spell targeting you won't stop that spell so it's not good at being reactive. And using your land destruction proactively or as retribution would likely make you a pretty big target since people seem to like their lands.

However, there's a lot of land destruction out there so you could probably build something decent. I think to be viable it would have to be an all-in aggressive strategy. And, like Niko9 pointed out it would probably be best to be all in on mana denial and land destruction together since other decks will ultimately overcome land destruction alone.

Now, if you can build that deck with Dingus Egg as a win condition... That would be pretty sweet :)

Dingus Egg for extra value when you destroy a land

Deus of Calamity for a beefy boy that destroys lands

Meekstone since you only have 2 creatures with power 3 or more it won't really affect you though one is your commander

Ward of Bones if your behind stops your opponent from getting even farther ahead

Maybe Damping Sphere ik it's not really for commander but it does do staxs and stops from casting too many spells pre turn but I would understand if you skip over this one

God-Pharaoh's Statue staxs and drains though it does cost 6 mana which is a lot for a card like this

And if you have the money to shell out The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale would be very useful

I just remembered: Dingus Egg, Dingus Staff, and Ankh of Mishra could be fun as well, especially since they don’t get much attention any more :( They could help move things along, as the game is maybe (likely?) going to end up being kind of a slog.

Important note: none of this matters if you’re running a bunch of Dingus Egg s. That’s where the spectrum becomes a ring and you’ve reached peak performance. Blessings to you, Acolyte of the Dingus Egg .
