My first commander deck attempt. Using our lovely lad Archelos, Lagoon Mystic, as well as a bunch of artifacts/enchants/spells to be able to summon up a decent amount of mana and keep tapping him as often as needed. I've also built around the "turtle" tribe and have several cards that directly buff turtles, allowing them to stack up some damage and still be tough as nails. Lastly, there are a few niche cards that I have tossed in for general effectiveness in areas where this deck is weak. Shadowspear being a prime example. This desk doesn't have an effective way to pierce Indestructible or Hexproof other than this particular card.

My main worry with this deck is that I don't have enough of a fundamental grasp on the game's mechanics as a whole to be able to put it together well, and that I might be misunderstanding some functions that would be better suited for other decks, if that makes any sense.
