You remind me of the babe!

I have been working on some new commander decks that are less focused on winning and more towards casual play so I don't "over do it" with some of my more casual friends. So I landed on a deck inspired by the movie Labyrinth. It is still a work in progress, so feel free to lend me any suggestions. All the cards are meant to be references to characters or places from the movie.

Sara-Karona, False God I picked Karona as the commander since she stretches into five colors and Jareth idolized her for the wrong reasons.

Jareth-Ith, High Arcanist, Goblin King, Baleful Strix Jareth gets three cards, since he is constantly changing forms throughout the movie. We first see him as an owl. He's also the goblin king and master of the labyrinth, which happens to be a maze, which Ith is all about.

The Labyrinth-Maze of Ith, Mystifying Maze, and various... To represent the labyrinth, we go to the most maze-centric cards I know of, the Maze of Ith as well as Mystifying Maze and a series of walls to fill the deck out and help with some fixing and draws.

Hoggle-card:Tresure Nabber Since Hoggle made such a big deal about his treasures.

Ludo-Hunted Phantasm, Rock Slide Ludo was tough. He's a pacifist beast who can control rocks. The Phantasm works since he was found being hunted by goblins, and the Rock Slide is the best representation I can come up with for his ability.

Sir Dydemus-Order of the Golden Cricket, Snow Hound Until we get a hound knight, the little cricket knight is the best I can come up with, and Snow Dog is his faithful mount, Ambrosius.

Toby-Child of Alara What other choice for a baby than Baby?

Crib Swap for when Toby is kidnapped.

Word of Seizing for Sara's chant to summon the goblin king to take Toby away.

Crystal Ball for Jareth's crystal ball.

Faerie Trickery for the fairies that bite Sara and their prank of shifting tiles.

Oubliette, where Sara gets stashed.

Toxic Stench and Bojuka Bog for the Bog of Eternal Stench.

card:Door Keeper for the door knockers.

Cage of Hands for the helping hands.

card:Fact of Fiction and card:Opal Lake Gatekeeper for the shield guardians who always lie/always tell the truth.

Enchanted Evening for the dream Sara has that puts her at a fancy ball while Jareth sings.

Stone Idol Trap to represent the false alarms encouraging Sara to turn back.

card:Junk Troller to represent the crazy garbage lady.

Untethered Express to represent the cleaners.

Darksteel Colossus for the giant suit of armor that guards the gate to the goblin city.

Lure to represent the the peach Jareth gives Hoggle to trap Sara.

Lost Hours to represent the time Jareth takes away from Sara when she taunts him.

Mad Prophet is the old man with the bird for a hat who gives Sara a bit of advice.

card:Dusk Urchin to represent the the Fireys, using -1/-1 counters to represent the Fireys tossing their limbs.

Cryptic Annelid is our little worm who invites Sara in to meet the missus.

The rest of the deck is mostly goblins or walls or cards that have maze like features in the art. I hope you enjoy it. Let me know if you have any other suggestions.
