Omnath, Locus of All

Legendary Creature — Phyrexian Elemental

If you would lose unspent mana, that mana becomes black instead.

At the beginning of your precombat main phase, look at the top card of your library. You may reveal that card if it has three or more coloured mana symbols in its mana cost. If you do, add three mana in any combination of its colours and put it into your hand. If you don't reveal it, put it into your hand.

Omnath, Locus of Purity {3}{G}{G}{W}

Legendary Creature - Elemental

Trample, Lifelink

Whenever you gain life, put that many +1/+1 counters on ~.

If you were to lose life or take damage, if ~ has +1/+1 counters on it, you may instead remove that many +1/+1 counters from ~ equal to the amount of life lost or damage taken.

"The natives to Ondu who regularly sealed it away couldn't imagine the effects of Phyrexia and Halo would have on the once rampaging avatar of Zendikar."

Fun Fact! Me and my play group long since predicted the naming of Omnath, Locus of All! We had a friend of ours who has since passed away, and he loved the ol' Mana Bean. We still call him Om-Nom to this day in his memory. Makes me smile.

MAKE ME ANOTHER MANA BEAN! (Please!) or above!

So as the title, thinking about a Gimmicky theme deck around Battles. Not sure if there's anything worth building there yet though... What I've got so far is as follows-

36 total Battles making a 5 color deck possible but no 5 color commanders really have much if any synergy to me. Maybe Omnath, Locus of All for the flavor and connection to {B} Further comments explain why black is important I think.

Each 3 color combination has 17 or 18 Battles, about the minimum to make it feel like a "Battle" deck imo.

So looking at 3/4/5 colors for the deck. With the following cards I think black is the best possible color for it - Vampire Hexmage, Hex Parasite, Cemetery Desecrator, Aether Snap, Marchesa, Resolute Monarch  ^Flip, and Render Inert. There are some things in other colors but they only removed 1 counter at a time. I'd rather remove all or most of them in one cast. Alternate use on these is killing Planeswalkers and making certain commanders sad.

Glissa Sunslayer exists but as a commander she'd only get 11 Battles currently and only 1 of those dies to her trigger. Others take two triggers to kill at least. Maybe with another few sets she becomes much better? If they keep printing Battles...

So Looking towards

{B}{U}{G}- Sultai

{B}{R}{G}- Jund

{B}{R}{U}- Grixis

{B}{W}{G}- Abzan

{B}{W}{R}- Mardu

{B}{W}{U}- Esper

If there are any commanders you think would work well in those colors let me know. Or other things you think would go well in this sort of idea like Dark Depths. I'm thinking commanders that are hard or difficult to block or can cause non-combat damage to any target have the most synergy.

Signal I could see in Omnath, Locus of All, as he cares about a multitude of colors. There's not a lot else that cares specifically about colors. Maybe Jared Carthalion?

Lux Artillery I would slot in Hamza, Guardian of Arashin or some sort of Yoshimaru, Ever Faithful/Slurrk, All-Ingesting/Reyhan, Last of the Abzan/Ishai, Ojutai Dragonspeaker with Hardened Scales and The Ozolith
