I had an idea to play this commander and hope my opponents swing at each other; but in my meta, players don't swing big creatures unless they're ready to win -no one wants to make enemies. Players will swing at Planeswalkers or they'll swing at players when a creature has an attack or damage effect, like having a 1/1 equipped with a Sword of the Animist. So when someone goes to attack with the incentive to draw, and the defender declares no blocks, stating "I'll go down to 38", I'll be like, "Wait a sec... I cast Might of Oaks and then Berserk."

I thought I was going to go the route of Tribal Rogues, but I actually just wanted to have unblockable creatures.

Then I decided to stir in some of my own planeswalkers to protect my life total and I get the added bonus of an activation or two, while still manipulating my opponents into combat.

And so to not have simply a trolling deck, I threw in a few win-cons by way of combos.

I went through my collection to pull out relevant cards to fit my theme; I sorted the cards into piles according to their type. Unfortunately, all my ideas culminated in having a total of 480 cards. Maybe one day WoTC will add a rule to Battle of Wits, so that a commander deck running such card is not burdened by the 100 card rule.

Eventually, I whittled it down to a casual infect deck. There are unblockable creatures, a splash of infect, some proliferation, and very little negative interactions (like that of Beast Within, Cyclonic Rift, or even Rhystic Study); to further drive the point of "casual", you will see that I have elected to neglect adding tutors.

Wait a sec... Is Cultivate considered a tutor?
