Help on commander deck color splashing
Commander Deck Help forum

I have been running a very successful orzhov good stuff commander deck for a few months now at my lgs and have enjoyed it a lot. However things feel stale for me after awhile and I have come to want to modify the deck to add a third color in. I really want to add green and swap one of my partner commanders for Ikra Shidiqi, the Usurper and regain some focus in the play style of aggressive lifegain with hard control elements. Here is the deck I wish to update:
For All Those Who Died -EDH-

Any help or different commanders / color suggestions will be appreciated. Right now I'm just a little stumped and bummed on what to do.
I too am contemplating switching to Oloro from my Karlov deck lol

Yes I know Oloro I just really had hoped for an alternative if possible simply because he is so commonly played. I did tinker with the idea of making it have some more equipment aggression or just more artifact and enchantment focused control as well cause one of my favorite cards period is Hanna, ships navigator and I have the judge foil promo.

I also considered changing to Teysa, Envoy of Ghost for more of a orzhov control.

What about four colors? When I first saw the partners, the two that synergized the most from what I saw were Bruse Tarl, Boorish Herder and Ikra Shidiqi, the Usurper as BOTH are themed with lifegain, and if you Bruse your Ikra who attacks without getting blocked, you gain TWENTY life. Per combat. Holy shillelaghs.
Here's a thrown-together deck illustrating what they can do together: Gaining Life Via Big Butts

You could go Doran, the Siege Tower if Oloro is distasteful. Ghave, Guru of Spores if you want a target on you. Perhaps run the gambit of Extort critters, Soul Sisters with the bonus of Essence Warden can be quite effective with Ghave. There are a plethora of high toughness low CMC guys and lifelink enablers for Doran. I've tinkered with Abzan, you can go in so many directions.

Oloro, Ageless Ascetic for aggressive life gain and control. offers card draw, counters and some nice pillow fort type enchantments like Propaganda to keep your life total high. Paradox Haze gives you 4 life a turn. In no time you can "death star" people using Aetherflux Reservoir.
