I guess I could probably leave this this way now; my job for this is pretty much all done.
Apologies to you guys. If I had an excuse, it's that my next deck after this runs Palladia-Mors, the Ruiner (All because she's the weakest of the Elder Dragons; Contrary to her Errata. XP)
@cdkime: Hmph. Alright. I already know what to change already. I'll get rid of such sleazy crap, & work my way there. Thanks though.

The Pr0n references are extinguished, so many changes I believe should be relevant enough; I tried all I can to make it viable on its own. While it still has the crazy, & outlandish parts for the most part, I kept some as it seemed to describe the reality around me in ways others wouldn't normally imagine on their own.
I'm not sure if this works well for you, cdkime, but it's the best I can do for now. I even mentioned Possible War of the Spark (WAR) Planeswalker Teyo Verada where Kaya was mentioned; my (Absolutely Incorrect) Hypothesis is that Teyo, & Kaya came from the same Plane of Existence of unknown name/origin before it was destroyed. How else can you describe them fighting side by side with each other? Maybe they knew each other since youth?
Opinions aside, I plan to make a Palladia-Mors, the Ruiner & a +1/+1 based Deck after pulling out both Breeding Pool , & Simic Ascendancy , but who? Personally, I'm unsure as much, but maybe something BESIDES Kruphix, God of Horizons this time (Making a deck using X spells is harder than it seems.), please?
Also, I myself still wonder what would be good as an alt Lockdown card for the following combo: Maralen of the Mornsong + Mindlock Orb . Not being able to draw, or even search your library is hell on the field enough; even to a point where just those two forces a game to a lockdown impossible to escape for even the user. What could be used to bypass all the Boardwide Stasis that affects even one using this? Oh, wait; Necropotence ; now I just need repeatable life gain; Lone Missionary or some ETB Life Gain effect could do great.
Finally, I was never good with chatrooms, but if you want me to upgrade my account; I have several things clouding me:
-
What's the tab, & is it something one must pay again & again?
-
How high can an upgrade of an account be (I've seen quite the bit of design of the upgraded usernames, but is it really equal?)
-
Why should I even touch the chat link around mere strangers? (This is optional, & a joke question also rhetorical.)
-
Just so were clear, do you think the name & list of things mentioned in the description are good. I just wanted to ask again to be sure...
Alright. All that aside; I just want your opinion on all this...

I think scrubbing the illicit content and some of the politics was an improvement, though I will not pretend to know what you are trying to say. I suppose the important thing is that you understand it, since it seems to be your way of expressing yourself.
For Green/Blue counters, are you trying to make a fun deck or something competitive? For fun, Experiment Kraj might be an interesting option. It was recently reprinted, so I expect it might increase its popularity some, but, as of right now, it seems to be fairly unused.
I think Ezuri, Claw of Progress is the traditional Simic +1/+1 counter commander though.
Aven Mindcensor , Leonin Arbiter , and Stranglehold all place limitations on library searching.
My SO has a pretty fun deck that runs Necropotence alongside Children of Korlis and graveyard recursion, allowing her to burn down to next-to-nothing, then sacrifice Children to recover the lost health. Necropotence ensures she draws into her recursion spells, allowing her to use Children again.
Upgrading your account on this site is a one-time payment of $5.00. Besides supporting this wonderful website, you also (a) get the ability to change your name's design, (b) can enable chat, allowing private one-on-one conversations with other users, and (c) it provides you the ability to edit your posts for a couple minutes after you make them.
There are not different levels to the upgrade--the base upgrade allows you to make as fancy as a username as you want, provided you are able to write the code (or have someone help you with the code) for it.
I presumed that you, being an active member of tappedout, designed this deck because you wanted to share your inner thoughts with other people. Some of these thoughts, however, such as the political ones, really do not belong in open discussion.
I am not sure I know how to comment on the names and things in your description. A whole lot of it is anime references I do not know (I think the only one I did recognize was Puella Magi Madoka Magica), and there is a lot of stream of consciousness that can be a bit hard to follow. I think what is important is (a) making sure you feel it is a good representation of yourself, and (b) that you are not discussing topics which really should not be raised in a public MTG forum.
I know that's not really helpful for your deck and description, but I am really reluctant to critique something you find so personal. It would be a bit silly for me to say how you should define and represent yourself!

@cdkime: All right. Well, now I know what to do in case I do, for whatever reason, devise a Jeskai deck; Can the political trash; as much for all my lists.
Ol' Kraj probably wouldn't mesh that well in a deck w/ a fusion of Weenies that can buff themselves at <=2/* alone. Yeah, Ezuri, Claw of Progress would be good, but I'd personally avoid the Infect idea, unless it's for just one creature... I wonder...
Hmmm... Well, I'm dealing w/ the predictable Eldrazi Displacer idea, Hmm... Well, I guess such Pauper-Friendly craze could work, what to use alongside, I dunno… I'll see though.
Huh. Didn't think of that. I'll probably do just that, though I'm literally in the same status as Sorin Markov when he was trying to find the other 2 members of The Three (One, dead. The other, probably back on Zendikar, & Sorin? Maybe either Dead, or maybe unneeding of oxygen, thus the stone encasing is probably slowing him down; though why he isn't strong enough to break it, truly beyond logic.)
Well, for some more familiar insight; Digimon Tamer is Season 3 of the Original Digimon: Digital Monster series; & the character in question is a high ranking member of the (Quasi-?)Antagonist group Hypnos. If you don't remember the term "Wild Ones", it's just that not many Digimon fans remember Hypnos as an organization in the series that well. As for nearly everything else I mentioned even related to JP media, I wouldn't expect one to even recall such things to begin with; I'm usually not one to delve into conventional media (Ironically, on MTG Salvation Forums, there was a Jeleva, Nephalia's Scourge Vorthos Deck based on Umineko (Seagulls; not to be confused w/ Seacats (???).); which was after the events of Higurashi (Cicadas); both of which fall under the same franchise name: When They Cry; though some titles with the following: Higanabana (On the Night the Red Spider Lily Blooms), & Hotarubi (When the Firefly Lights Burn), & the upcoming Ciconia no Naku Koro ni (Ciconia is actually Latin for Stork). Whoever made that Vorthos deck in the past, & even remembered something so unconventional for JP standards, I give (them?) credit of the Highest praise. ^_^
Alright; you probably read enough of this. Might as well put this in to end the fragging comment; I think I've confused you more than ever. My apologies.:
/rant.

It sounds like you are trying to work out some things in your own life and your personal philosophies and political views through deckbuilding. That's fine and good--expressing oneself through hobbies can be a healthy way to deal with stress and personal discovery.
That said, while it is one thing to express yourself through the deck, what you have written in your description is a bit excessive and somewhat nonsensical, and I am not sure it belongs on a public TappedOut forum.
My recommendation to you would be give the deck a generic, non-political name (let's say, "BMHKain, an Introspective") and change the deck description to something nice and short like "I have built this deck as a reflection of myself, with each card having a certain symbolic value to me." You do not need to go into your personal politics (which is generally frowned upon on this site), and please, for the love of all that is holy, do not give the public into your pornography habits.
Now, I suppose it is possible that you do feel the need to share your thoughts with other people, and (a) do not feel comfortable doing so in the real world, and (b) like TappedOut's community, and believe there are people who would listen.
If that is the case, and you feel an overwhelming need to share with someone, I suggest you upgrade your account and use the chat function to speak with those individuals directly, as opposed to in a public thread. Just be sure to ask for permission before baring your soul, and be respectful (and understanding) if they ask you to stop.
