Hey SufferFromEDHD, thanks for the input.

Heartwarming Redemption is a good card but I think I would go for Valakut Awakening  ^Flip if I wanted that effect. Same thing except for the life gain and graveyard synergy, but in exchange it’s one mana cheaper, a land when I need it, and lets me hang onto things I don’t want to pitch. The reasons I’m not running it are really that it’s not card advantage unless I have my commander out to take advantage of the cards I pitch and I’m hesitant about a more etb tapped lands, but it’s great card selection and if my commander is out I can use the artifacts I pitch so I’ve gone back and forth about including it.

Thrilling Discovery is also a good card, but I think I would rather run more Conjurer's Bauble or Chromatic Star effects over it. They are effectively 2 mana draw three with an upside when my commander is out and have more overall synergy with the deck.

As for Mox Tantalite I did run it for a little while, but I ended up cutting it. Once it was in the grabeyard it’s a great target for my commander, but I really never wanted to be suspending it and waiting three turns so it was too slow unless I could pitch it directly to the graveyard and this deck doesn’t have enough self mill/discard to do that super reliably.

I appreciate the ideas though and will consider them more when I’m tinkering with the deck.

BenTim i DONT MIND to have to be the guy to say something negative (because i hate this deck), but you can in fact use a background card in the 99 as its just a enchantment.

I love Thalisse. The flavor of it and the art are just perfect, to me.

Harsh Mercy as a board wipe?

Yesterday: No, Resolute Rejection and Patriar's Humiliation operate in the ability adding/removing layer. They don't change copiable values. Body Double-ing a Corrupted Shapeshifter who's been hit by one of those things will get you a normal Corrupted Shapeshifter with all its abilities. And if you were to reanimate that Shapeshifter, you would still choose P/T as it enters because the copiable values layer is the very first one, so the effect would be applied before the ability gets taken away in the ability adding/removing layer.

For the layer system, first you start with what's printed on the physical object, then apply other continuous effects in this specific order:

1. Rules and effects that modify copiable values

2. Control-changing effects

3. Text-changing effects (e.g. Magical Hack and friends)

4. Type-changing effects (including supertypes and subtypes)

5. Color-changing effects

6. Ability-adding/removing effects (including keyword counters and "can't have [ability]" effects)

7. P/T-changing effects

Layers 1 and 7 also have some sub-layers where certain more specific types of effects are applied in a particular order within those layers but those details aren't important here.

The key thing to understand is that a copy effect only brings over the actual printed characteristics of the original plus anything that is applying to the original in Layer 1. No other effects applying to the original will get copied.

You can use double square brackets around a card's name to create a reference link. It's the best way to help make sure everyone understands what's going on: Case of the Gateway Express, Taii Wakeen, Perfect Shot

You get two cards. Each of your creatures is a separate source of damage in this example, so Taii will affect each of them individually and will trigger for each of them since they're both dealing the right amount of damage.

I can't deny 5 is a pretty steep MV, but I've been pleasantly surprised and even downright enamored with the results I've gotten, perhaps largely because Bloodrush can be used at Instant speed, which means we use it after opponents have declared [zero] blockers, and then it's too late. And if you run any pumps, Wrecking Ogre is actually pretty decent on battlefield in their own right.

I understand you are trying to make this competitive. Tell me, what kind of suggestions/feedback are you looking for? Any particular budget or meta in mind?

First draft at my kenrith commander deck. Lots of focus on enabling ken's 1/1 counters, graveyard play, and healing by maintaining pressure across several potential win conditions at different stages of play. Included Isochron Scepter and 1/2 cost instants for a variety of shenanigans. Next upgrade will prioritize including vampiric tutor for additional combo enablement here and overall consistency.

See that's the cake! Totally agree with Obsidian Charmaw, knew I was overlooking something super obvious.
