Silver border Commander deck starring X. Trying to make the funnest deck, not necessarily the strongest.

There aren't a whole lot of cards that directly synergize with X (in this deck just Dragon's Eye Savants, Gitaxian Probe, Lantern of Insight, Peek, Psychic Network, Seer's Vision, Telepathy, Wandering Eye, and Wizened Snitches) so I went for more of a theme deck around using your opponent's stuff against them. This tends to require a lot of mana, as does X's last ability, which is why there are so many mana rocks. Very Cryptic Command is supposed to be this version: https://shop.tcgplayer.com/magic/unstable/very-cryptic-command-c

Specific card interactions I find especially interesting: Arcanum Wings - Most permanent control comes in the form of Auras. Arcanum Wings lets you cheat out a 3-mana Enslave, Spirit Away, or Treachery. Clocknapper - You can steal the precombat main phase from the person whose hand X is in. This way they draw, but then you get to play what they drew, even if it's not an instant. Rags seems like a non-starter with the 2/2 X, but remember, most of X's action doesn't actually have him on the battlefield. Jump into a hand and leave everyone else to die.
