Get it? Instead of living my best life?

Puns aside, I've been working on this deck for a long long time. I've edited it, deleted it, reuploaded it, and even came this close to changing the commander entirely, but I've finally reached the point where I'm satisfied... almost. While I am happy with where this deck is now, I know I have little experience with deck building, and that many of you out there could probably make this deck twice as good as I think it is. So I invite you, fellow planeswalkers: please, go over my choices, give it a few playtests, tell me what you like and don't like about it. I would be grateful for any sort of feedback. I'll list a few things worth noting below.

1) I want Licia to be the commander, hands down. I've always loved lifegain themes, so orzhov is my favorite color pair. There are a lot of orzhov commanders out there that would make great commanders for this deck. However, I was looking for something more, and I found that in Licia, Sanguine Tribune . She brings the aggression that most of my decks seem to lack, and at the rate she can grow, she can easily become a big threat and make winning via commander damage a possible wincon. On top of that, she can get me tons of life, more than I will ever dump into her to activate her ability.

2) Don't hold back on your opinions. Feel free to tear my deck apart down to the bare bones. If its bad, tell me its bad, and tell me why. Tell me why card X is 20 times better than card Y. Though I doubt this deck will ever make it to cEDH levels of power, I do want it to be the strongest it can be, and I'm willing to change it up to get it there.

3)There is no budget. Although I do have a number in mind, assume that I do not have a budget for this deck. This is something I don't mind taking my time putting together. My only stipulation is not to suggest cards that are $80+. I get that there are a ton of amazing cards at that price, but my wallet can't justify that level of spending.

Other than all that, have at it! I hope you enjoy what I've put together, and I hope to hear back from you all. You can leave your comments here, or on the decklist directly.
