Trying to make Doran do some damage. He is a great commander with good colors and beatdown power, but often vulnerable against control and faster decks. This is my fourth build on Doran. This time my aim is to slow down the opponents and protect my play. Lots of special boardwipes and other cards to make it difficult for my opponents, while I draw and ramp and deal lethal damage. And if Doran still gets pinned down by the opponents, I also run some tutors and Karmic Guide + Reveillark + Blasting Station and Fiend Hunter + Sun Titan + Blasting Station -combos for an alternative win con.

After a week and a few played games it seems to be pretty okay at duels. Sometimes really fast, and often finding a solution for most situations. Could use maybe one more draw card and something to protect my creatures and other permanents in multiplayer games, like Asceticism and maybe some indestructible such as Dauntless Escort, Selfless Spirit or Avacyn, Angel of Hope.

Feedback very welcome!
