Just an experiment.

Main objective of this deck is to get to that critical 21 commander damage/10 poison counters ASAP with Tromokratis. The best part about Tromokratis is that as long as one of their creatures remains tapped, then Tromokratis basically gets a free hit. As a result, this deck is filled with cards that tap things like Guardian of Tazeem or Shipbreaker Kraken, with a few mass bounce cards like Whelming Wave or Cyclonic Rift if I have none of the tapping cards at hand. Alongside that, I tossed in Lightning Greaves, Swiftfoot Boots, and Hall of the Bandit Lord so Tromokratis can come in swinging.

I also went for something of a Voltron approach with this deck, sticking in a few equipments like Loxodon Warhammer, Sword of Truth and Justice, or Fireshrieker to boost Tromokratis's damage output. This may be a bit overkill, considering the fact that Tromokratis just needs three turns to get the necessary damage by itself.

Another good thing about Tromokratis is that he has built-in Hexproof when he's not attacking or blocking, so the main thing I have to worry about is countermagic (and him getting killed in combat, but that's not as big a problem as getting countered over and over). That's what Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir, Defense Grid and Cavern of Souls are for, along with a small amount of countermagic. Vanishing, Nim Deathmantle, and Hammer of Nazahn are for if someone decides to be a wiseguy and casts a Damnation on their turn.

I am very open to suggestions/feedback on how to improve this deck, since this was mostly just something that popped into my head and I threw some cards together for.
