OH dont I know it :-D
I do have a few in the deck for countering the life lost, mainly Drain Life and a few functional reprints as well as Exsanguinate for a table effect mixed with Feast of Sanity. so it would play like this.

~~If the Commander is out on the field~~ I make sure that there is a bunch of cards in exile (say half the deck) ie. I would have till the end of my turn to gain life.

I would discard enough cards to feed Skirge Familiar then cast Exsanguinate each opponent would lose 40 life, and I would gain 40x amount of players (Friday it was 3) and since Feast of Sanity is a triggered effect I would be able to distribute 1 point of damage per card discarded to any target giving myself 40 additional life.

~~if the Commander were to be in the graveyard~~ Necrotic Ooze would be in play as well as Skirge Familiar (in or out of the graveyard) I would do the same thing however since the commander is in the graveyard the binding contract is not effected I would draw the cards with out the penalty of losing life from Asmodeus the Archfiends second ability. (correct me if I am wrong on this).. then I would cast Exsanguinate or Drain Life or a functional.

one fall back would be to add in Crypt Rats or Pestilence and have out Darksteel Myr and have Magebane Armor on the Necrotic Ooze for a repeatable effect... this plan would be a last ditch effort.

you know I like playing glass cannons :-D

Robe of Stars, Mask of Avacyn, Kite Shield, Slagwurm Armor, Accorder's Shield, Mirror Shield, Vanguard's Shield, Cathar's Shield, Magebane Armor, Healer's Headdress, Screaming Shield, Mirror Shield, Ensouled Scimitar, and Spidersilk Net.

I think that's all of the ones that care about toughness

Magebane Armor would protect your boss from her own board wipe.

Have you considered cheap cantrip like spells to give protection instead of investing in heavy resources to get your protection from, specifically, Magebane Armor , or even like a Mother of Runes for recursion. If you lean towards cantrips I’d suggest Feather, the Redeemed . Together your protection element can be covered for turn after turn.

Magebane Armor is a cool equipment for a fight-heavy deck. Vigor would be another cool inclusion.

Thanks for the suggestions JoJosMagic. If you look under wincons I already have most of those cards. I do like Magebane Armor, and may see if I can test that out. Thanks for the suggestions!

When I saw this I immediately thought of the "switch power and toughness" cards...which are funny with defenders but downright hysterical with this guy: Crookclaw Transmuter, Merfolk Thaumaturgist, and Twisted Image..add a Crenellated Wall or Magebane Armor and you have a One Hit Wonder that'll definitely make opponents Crabby..Sincere apologies for the puns..But seriously They may be good additions without messing up synergies
