Oh boy, it's been a while since I've done any brewing and this is my first time making a Commander deck - be gentle! Exalted has been one of my favorite mechanics for a while now (I still have my block legal deck from Alara put together, in fact). I know that Mardu is a rather interesting choice to go with for Exalted, but I felt that the traditional Bant Exalted would be too defensive for a decent Commander deck, though I may attempt to build one following...

Anyway! Zurgo Helmsmasher is an absolute BEAST and will wreck face with boosts from Exalted. I've included several other candidates with varying forms of evasion (like Tormented Soul ) and some other creatures that benefit from attacking alone (see Master of Cruelties ). The supporting spells have to do a lot with removing threats or eliminating their ability to block my attacker that's getting the boost or reflecting damage that would be coming at me. Other than that, it's a rather straight forward deck - Pick one of your guys to plow through your enemies, remove your enemies' ability to defend, profit.

One thing that makes me uncomfortable with this deck is the lack of draw and mana acceleration it has. I also feel like this will loose very much to control oriented decks - I'm open to suggestions! There are definitely some cards that I only really included because I couldn't really think of anything better at the time. ^^;
