Felipix on Making my mono U commander …

(someone can delete the other threads of the theme?)
So I have proxies for my Mono U Nezahal deck, and I don't know if I like the idea of being the archenemy just because of my commander, so I re-note the list and there it is, I need a new commander and 30 synergy cards to play a control creature less deck (It can also go in a polymorph subtheme like running just one big guy) or if not, adding 5~7 creature cards like AEtherling, to win the game

RiotRunner789 I prefer to control the board via removal and counterspell I think self mill is fun but I dont want to play Obvious wincon My second (and favorite) option is to play this big blue guys (AEtherling, Guile etc)
My problem with nezahal is that on my country, and my budget, nezahal is expansive, make me the archenemy, and the one thing that I dont want as a control player is make everyone look at my commander and kill me at turn 3 so they can "have a fun game"

I'm Building this deck too, and I have a few questions.
Why remove AEtherling and the Artifact Lands? Also why use Sword of Truth and Justice? Why do we need proliferate?

Kcin I actually was running Invisible Stalker or True-Name Nemesis with Ring of Evos Isle for a bit originally! Tho, like with AEtherling I found the combination a bit slower than I wanted. I do like the Trepanation Blade idea better than Ring of Evos Isle tho and it's def worth testing! Maybe with True-Name Nemesis?? Not sure what I would swap out for T-Blade tho... Without leaning more towards HARD Mill.
PS: I also realized I made mistakes so, if the deck looks a little different... You're not going crazy!

Mairsil, The Pretender

Thanks for checking out my list! I hadn't updated my decks in a few months so I'm just seeing this now. So I kind of cover why I run so much additional protection in my build in the primer, but the short answer is that my playgroup is very heavy on removal and they know the best way to shut this deck down is to keep Mairsil off the board. AEtherling just doesn't cut it as the only source of protection. It's not meant to be a cEDH build and I doubt it could hang with a cEDH table lol. It's definitely on par with the power level of my playgroup though.
I prefer Spikeshot Elder over Hateflayer because it doesn't require Mairsil to be tapped to activate it, which is helpful outside of the Tree of Perdition combo because I can shoot down planeswalkers and creatures with just the three mana. I did use to run Hateflayer though! I also have a few other untap effects that are cheaper to use mana-wise and allow me to combo off with Quicksilver Elemental and Prismatic Geoscope and the cards they're on also provide a lot of other value.
In terms of the Walking Ballista combo, I use him as a wincon in my elfball deck so I'm not interested in using him again in another deck, although it is a solid wincon!
I used to do a lot of jankier stuff with Mairsil (hence the giant Maybeboard lol) but my group goes super hard on him anymore so he's gotta be a little more cutthroat and bare bones if I want to win with him, which I do!

This looks fine - commander is a more casual format, so there is a lot less pressure on what you must play. I'd look at only spending money on commander staples and filling out the rest from magic history. You've got 25 spots or so left, and some bigger spells and mana rocks will fill most of that.
Sol Ring, Clockspinning, Mind Games and mana rocks is the only thing I look and think 'must include'- being able to clone rocks with Orvar and reuse spells makes them a lot more important in a format they already like. Capsize is a neat option, but here the 1 mana stuff that leaves it on the board is better, so its not essential.
The higher mana curve is important to remember - the expectation to pay 6+ mana creatures and spells means that there are a lot of sweet options - most of them budget.
Its all about what feels best to play with your playgroup. Not everyone likes abrupt mono blue 'I win the game' setups, but orvar lets you mess around with stuff like AEtherling in a far more casual way too. Use judgement.
Its important to remember that while a lot of clone effects revolve around creatures, Orvar can make The Mirari Conjecture or similar enchantments/artifacts/planswalkers/lands go pretty wild. This means if you want to do the silliest of combos, stuff like Arcane Melee,Cowardice or Dismiss into Dream lets you massively misuse a spells-and-permanents matter deck.
