Traxos, Scourge of Kroog is a fairly challenging Commander. While everyone's second-favourite dragon engine is cheap and able to take out a player in three hits, the (lack of) colour identity is a big hassle.

This is a first attempt to build a relatively straightforward EDH deck, doing all the things that EDH decks usually do. There's some ramp, some card advantage, some big stuff and some more fun cards. Traxos is essentially a 7/7 with Vigilance for 4, but remember that they can be untapped multiple times per turn, so you can crew that Smuggler's Copter with Traxos.

Mystic Forge is a hugely important card. Combinations like Mystic Forge + Ugin, the Ineffable and Metalworker + Mystic Forge + Voltaic Key let you play through most of your deck in one turn.

I've tried to avoid most of the absurdly expensive cards, but there's really no replacement for Metalworker.
