Commander Deck Help forum

I just finished my first competitive Riku EDH deck, Riku of Advantageous Deckbuilding, and I need some help to finish it out before I buy the missing pieces.

Currently it is a toolbox deck with a fair amount of combos, and though online playtesting has brought great success, it was never anything challenging.

Cards I'm considering:

• Omniscience Pros: Riku breaks the game with this card, you win once it hits the field. Cons: highly expensive and win more.

• Phantasmal Image and Clone Pros: getting 2 of any of the best creatures on the battlefield is great. Cons: is only there for utility, doesn't help any of the combos.

Cards I'm considering cutting:

• Terastodon and Avenger of Zendikar Pros: epic board advantage, esp. w/ Riku. Cons: fairly win more, can't be cast for a while.

• Fabricate Pros: tutors Birthing Pod and Phyrexian Metamorph. Cons: not much else.

Anyways, I would gladly appreciate any feedback people have, as I want this to be my next EDH project.
