New Overhaul —Sept. 23, 2012

Added a few new cards to this one. Big addition is Deadeye Navigator who has great interactions with many of the cards listed here especially AEther Adept, Snapcaster Mage, Rune-Scarred Demon, Massacre Wurm, and Mnemonic Wall.

Cards in the maybe will probably be added to the deck to help give access to more combos including infinite mana, infinite turns, the ability to return every permanent on the field to each player's hands, the ability to counter every spell and others.

Some quick things:

-1 Piranha Marsh , +1 swamp or other fancy land, as 1 life isn't worth a tapped land in commander. If you have a tight budget, even something like a Dimir Aqueduct would be better.

As opposed to Lay Bare , maybe something like Last Word or Mindbreak Trap ? Or if budget isn't as much of an issue, Pact of Negation ?

Also, Manalith <<<<<<< Darksteel Ingot . Just find a friend who has one, no reason to be playing strictly worse cards.

Maybe add a Gilded Lotus for mana fixing? Being Commander, you should usually be able to get it out safely.

Also, if you or a friend has any, try for card:Night's Whisper over Sign in Blood , as you'll never really use it on them anyway. Yes, it can be argued that you could use it on them with the Hinder Tunnel Vision wincon, but other than that it's easier on the mana and usually better.

Just some thoughts, but ultimately it's your deck, so do what you will!

Thanks for the feedback. It's really just about figuring out what cards I want in the deck in general, not really about budget. All cards are in consideration within reason. I think I'd probably like to do both manalith and darksteel ingot. I have the ingot, just currently in my kaalia EDH deck. I like the last word and mindbreak trap ideas, though the reason Lay Bare is in there is because of the ability to look at my opponent's hand. I'm considering adding Telepathy thoughts?

And since Gatherer makes it difficult for me to search for dual lands. If there are any that come to mind please make note of them and I'll add them to my acquire list. I want to get a decent number of cards on my acquire list before I make another purchase for this deck to save on shipping.

Underground Sea , Watery Grave , Polluted Delta you probably already know about; Mana Crypt , Mana Vault , most of the monoliths (grim monolith) are extremely good. Thran Dynamo , Drowned Catacomb , Creeping Tar Pit ...

Sorry: Grim Monolith

Be careful using him as a general. Blasphemous Act is a card. And it will ruin your day.

Yea I've come into that a few times. I typically like to have an unsummon or a vapor snag in hand for those cases. Pretty much any direct damage is brutal with dralnu. Which is why I typically only bring him out when I've got the right counters in hand or the aforementioned unsummon effects.

Crystal Shard and Erratic Portal were kind of made for this deck :-)

Also definitely Isochron Scepter . This deck looks more tailored to 1v1 than multi.
