No one thought Tetzimoc was commander playable. Im here to prove everyone wrong. The deck is actually much better than people give it credit for. It will never be as efficient as just slamming a sheoldred, but it doesnt mean that you can have some fun building around it. The primary plan is to get command beacon or erratic portal. These allow you to get tetzimoc to your hand and use the prey counter ability. Crucible of words in the deck to get back your command beacon if necessary. Also we have phyrexian reclamation and volraths stronghold so there may be times where its correct to send tetzimoc to the graveyard. The third plan of action is to use the deathtouch ability once Tetzimoc is in play. You'll want to equip or viridian longbow or staff of thornbite which gives you more ways to kill creatures. From there you just control the board and swing with your 6 drops to start taking people out of the game. This deck deck seems to thrive in a slower meta, so if your meta is blazing fast I wouldnt recommend this deck. But if games go a bit longer, Tetzimoc is a solid choice as this deck handles the late game petty well.

I filmed some video of this deck in action. You can check it out here: https://youtu.be/86W0JsWrf5E
