@Yesterday: Thanks for the suggestions! Right now, after implementing a Landbase, I just want to cleave the fat to 100 cards. As for Doomsday & Worldgorger Dragon , The Doomsday Package sounds crazy; especially for a deck not even intended for cEDH (One of my own is. But it's still WIP, & after Paradox Engine 's ban, made it even slower.). That said, What exactly can Worldgorger Dragon do besides exile all your other permanents? This is interesting as it was responsible for many wincons; many of which make no sense. & yes, I too believe I went AWOL on this; but to do this moreso, my current mission is to cut to 1oo cards. Not much easier when you realize this deck is an exile machine of Death-Beyond-Death; or DBD.
Now, if you don't mind, I got other decks to cut too 100 cards as well (& improve their statistics...)

I'm afraid there's nothing that causes only your opponents' ETBs not to trigger. At least that I know of. If you wanted, you could use some effects like Roon or Eerie Interlude that exile your Hushwing Gryff until end of turn. There are somewhat fewer of these effects for non-creatures though.
Recurring from exile isn't super common. I'm not sure I have much to help you with there, sorry. I can suggest a few cards that otherwise fit the theme and are decent value.
The new Apostle of Purifying Light is kinda basically a better Withered Wretch.
Myr Welder plays with exile a bit and can help recur some abilities from your graveyard while exiling them. It can also grab pieces that help it combo from opponents' graveyards if the stars align. There's also Mairsil, the Pretender .
It's not exile-related, but Phyrexian Dreadnought is one of the best classic examples of amazing value except for ETB.
I don't... know exacty what you're planning on doing with Mirror of Fate, but you might want to consider Doomsday too.
A few other cards that do things with exile include Mana Severance for thinning out your deck, and Yawgmoth's Will and Magus of the Will because I am seeing a decent bit of graveyard recursion in here too. You probably already know Necropotence exists. Bag of Holding just loots and plays with exile... sort of, but you can put the cards you discard under it even if Necropotence is on the battlefield. Worldgorger Dragon is... a card. But I'm probably just delving into territory you already know about from searches now.
Also, it doesn't really do anything especially for the deck, and it's silver-bordered but I feel obliged to mention AWOL .
I love the idea for the deck. How has it been performing for you?

The way AWOL is currently worded (it got a long needed oracle update, but that update made it even weirder) it exiles the attacking creature (you can replace that with putting the commander in the command zone). Then it removes the creature from the game, regardless of what zone it's currently in (I guess put it in your sideboard even though you don't have a sideboard). Then it finds that creature outside the game and returns it to the game, but in the absolutely-removed-from-the-freaking-game-forever zone. This is where we get in some real hot water. In the spirit of commander and how silver boarder is supposed to make the game fun I would say you can replace this with putting the commander back in the command zone, for the second time in resolving this spell. However, according to rule 13 of commander:
"Abilities which refer to other cards owned outside the game (Wishes, Spawnsire, Research, Ring of Ma'ruf) do not function in Commander without prior agreement on their scope from the playgroup."
So AWOL shouldn't be able to do it's third zone change of bringing the commander back from outside the game. So either leave it outside the game never to return, return it but in a zone that's functionally never to return, or return it to the command zone. You have justification for any of those three answers.

AWOL's first sentence causes the commander to be exiled. You can replace that event by putting it in the command zone, like any other exile event. The second sentence can't remove it from exile so it bricks.
