The basic idea for this deck is to mess with combat and force our opponents to play aggro without becoming the target ourselves. Thantris effectively enables us for both with her abilities and the fact that she has vigilance to block each turn.

This strategy should disrupt our opponents not only by draining their life totals but also by forcing small value creatures into combat, allowing others to remove them with blockers or at least force them to be activated in our opponents first main phase.

Of course the deck is built to make it very unattractive for opponents to attack us, with Thantris herself, Dread, Kazuul, Tyrant of the Cliffs and a lot of deathtouch creatures. Cards like Varchild, Betrayer of Kjeldor or Rite of the Raging Storm even give our opponents more creatures, to blast each other.

Having a three color, 6 CMC mana commander, we are running quite a lot of ramp and fixing options. Luckily we have green available, which makes it extremely effective. We should be able to play Thantris at least by turn 6 regularly.

We only play two wrath effects with Ezuri's Predation and Pernicious Deed, as we generally want our opponents to have creatures, that they "can" throw at each other and definitely don't want to loose our own creatures. Golgari Charm, Warp in Vigor and Heroic Intervention let us protect our board from most traget removal and wrath effects our opponents might cast to break out of the constant attacks.
