The main thrust I am going for is to use the transmute ability to search for cards to counter spells and equip my creatures and commander.

Dakkon Blackblade + Whispersilk Cloak is good for a Commander Damage Win. You can also tack on Elbrus, the Binding Blade   for good measure.

Nevermore = no commander for opponent.
