Blessing of Leeches maybe? Daybreak Coronet? Spirit Loop to double your life gain.

Virtus the Veiled could be a secondary target for all those enchantments, especially the evasion cards.

Benevolent Blessing could replace Pentarch Ward. That Flash is as good as a counterspell sometimes.

I'd take out Angelic Gift (drawing a card is nice but you NEED to draw a card to make it equivalent to almost any other enchantment you're running). Same with Grisly Transformation.

There has got to be better card draw than Tome of Legends.

If your commanders are attacking with deathtouch and indestructible you might want something like Lure or Nemesis Mask .

Virtus the Veiled and Raving Dead are scarier than most deathtouch creatures and are hilarious with Blessing of Leeches

Thanks king-saproling. It's been playing well.

Temporal Isolation as removal? Perhaps to replace Blood Curdle , which is only good if I've switched to a heroic creature.

Soul Channeling to replace Blessing of Leeches is a coin flip. I admittedly have a soft spot for Kamigawa and Rebecca Guay. I also enjoy the flash as a response to combat or removal.

Skeletal Grimace to replace Strands of Undeath is also a coin flip. I like the card advantage it offers.

If you want a theme you could go for Shaman Tribal. There are tons, with many useful abilities. Throw in a Thornbite Staff . You could go with counters and get a few Proliferate cards (you can proliferate experience counters). You could go Infect if you hate people.

I think you may need something to protect your boss. Meren brings back everything except Meren. Aspect of Mongoose , Blessing of Leeches , any hexproof etc.

Grothama, All-Devouring comes in for only 5 CMC and could be fun.

Helm of Possession would definitely be funny with Meren.

I would replace the Obsidian Battle-Axe with something that provides First Strike on your deathtouchers.

Wrap in Vigor and Vigor , maybe Vhati il-Dal to keep your guys alive

Blessing of Leeches on Virtus is terrifying

Thanks for the suggestions Tr_iHard! Nice to see someone approaching this commander from a similar angle. Cannibalize is just awesome, I'll have a look at how I can fit it in here.

As far as Rime Transfusion and Skeletal Grimace go, they were both in the early drafts of this deck but eventually I realized that they don't quite work the way I wanted them to. They both grant an activated ability to the creature itself, meaning the creature's controller would get to choose whether to activate, not me. Disappointing as it is, sticking with cards like Blessing of Leeches, Strands of Undeath, etc. where the ability is attached to the aura itself (leaving me as the one who decides to activate it) will have to do.

Hey,

you could also add enchantmentbased protection for your commander: Blessing of Leeches or Benevolent Blessing both offer protection at instant speed and low budget.

And Blessing of Leeches could help protect Maralen of the Mornsong and you wouldn't take any damage due to Eon Hub
