Commander Deck Help forum

I tried making a control deck but it ended miserably and i was told to try an aggressive deck instead and after looking on edhrec i found a commander i really like but my deck got over 100 cards pretty quickly and i would need some help to get it back to 100 and any suggestions will be appreciated
And if you think a certain card would be more appropriated for my deck please tell me which card to take out as well
I would keep 10 sources of land-ramp (i.e. Rampant Growth: getting lands into play is more reliable in the long run as people tend to blow the world up every 2-3 turns in my playgroup). Keep these at most 3 mana to ensure a Xenagos turn 4. After that, I'd look for 7-8 sources of card advantage (Sylvan Library comes to mind, also Harmonize and Mind's Eye). Then get 30-ish anythings that inherently have evasion (like trample: Giant Adephage or flying: Balefire Dragon) or big abilities like Terastodon and Bane of Progress. Fill the gaps with red/green removal such as Beast Within and Chaos Warp, some tutors (Fierce Empath, Worldly Tutor) and other utility (Asceticism). And you will be ready.
Some really nice interactions include Malignus and your cmd, as well as Savage Ventmaw+Aggravated Assault and your cmd.
A nice finisher is Blightsteel Colossus with Chandra's Ignition for when you need a very dead table immediately.
Those are my two cents, hope they were kinda helpful... Getting into single cards and trying to make 20 cuts or so is a bit too tedious for me :(
