5-color Doom Rattle
Commander Deck Help forum

So I don't have a deck for it yet but I'm looking to put together a control deck which makes my opponents attack or do other things when it is bad for them to do so. Cards like Fumiko the Lowblood to force attacking and cards like Dread to make it costly. Currently looking at making it 5 colors using Cromat or Child of Alara interchangeably as commanders. Basically what I'm looking to get here is ideas for cards and maybe a combo or two that finishes the game in case I have no other way to win. My table is not very competitive nor do we have lots of money so decks tend to be slow and games tend to go an hour or more unless someone gets their one or two good starts and surprises everyone. A few people are even using pre-made decks other than a few cards.
Angel's Trumpet is an oldie but goodie.
Phyrexian Unlife + Delaying Shield/Melira, Sylvok Outcast combo might work here if you go hardcore and find yourself losing life too quick.
Eternity Vessel and Exquisite Archangel help in that regard as well.
Having an indestructible (cough Stuffy Doll) block with stuff like Godsend with cards like Defensive Formation to do epic stuff.
And lastly, stuff like Avatar of Hope + Indestructibility / Darksteel Plate / Spirit Mantle

In case you haven't Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts would be perfect in that deck. Using stuff like Pariah And Pariah's Shield on someone like Palisade Giant Protector of the Crown (or Stuffy Doll) Plus indestructibility is bonkers. Or Guardian of the Gateless with indestructibility. And Colossus of Akros Is a stupid, but fun game ender

Pretty quick responses and useful thanks guys. I heaven't gotten all the way through my collection for things yet but I put up the start of the deck. Just an idea so may change everything. Doom Rattle, I apparently had some cards for this idea already.

Goblin Spymaster, War's Toll, Gideon Jura and Basandra, Battle Seraph are pretty good ways to get them to attack.

My recent deck Game of Thrones (Marchesa Primer) is exactly that, so feel free to use it to find some redundancy!
