Foundation for this deck came from user Jeff2302's Kaalia commander deck.

However, after playing with it many times I found there to be not enough land (36) and too few mana ramps. To address this, I lowered the creature count from 32, which I thought was too high, added in 4 lands and a couple ramp artifacts, then added some miscellaneous spells for card draw. I also changed the Wheel of Fortune to Wild Guess, keeping the card draw one-sided so as to not let the opponent back into the game. Last but not least, I swapped out some of the creatures that had too many negatives about them, or were much too hard to cast by themselves for creatures that could stand on their own and had more beneficial effects.

Neberus also had some good suggestions and I made most of those corrections as well.

So far, I love playing the deck. It's both casual (no infinite combos or completely broken play) yet also competitive in that it has huge potential and really puts the pressure on. In 1v1 play it is very explosive in the beginning as long as you hit your land on time. In group play, it has enough steam to take out several players but might not always win ... but it's really FUN!

Thus far, it's one of my favorite decks in terms of power and fun, which is such a great combination.
