Necropolis Regent could be pretty sick in a deck that evades blockers so easily. Satoru Umezawa is excellent for some additional card-advantage whenever you're using Ninjitsu abilities. Though it's a bit pricy to cast, Silent-Blade Oni can also be a lot of fun, as well as bring a heck of a lot of value (depending on the kind of opponent you're facing). I also really like Elbrus, the Binding Blade  ^Flip and Vorpal Sword in decks featuring ninja's, as these can win you games outright when applied to unblockable creatures.

I ran Myr Battlesphere in my playgroup for a couple years as a commander, until Urtet, Remnant of Memnarch and Graaz, Unstoppable Juggernaut came out in the same set. I'd argue the Battleball was still more fun than Urtet, with Graaz being my favorite way to play Myr.

For a new deck, I'd love to build around the haunted butterknife that is Elbrus, the Binding Blade  ^Flip, even though I know it isn't technically a creature.

Unexpected Windfall, Big Score, Deadly Dispute, Malakir Rebirth  ^Flip, Unearth, Door of Destinies, Shadowspear, Phyrexian Arena, Elbrus, the Binding Blade  ^Flip and then way more SWORDS.

Except don't put Sword of Hearth and Home, thats HACKING. Big. Hacking.

If you're deck is all about evasive creatures attacking and making use of the Connive ability I'd consider these:

Bone Miser Discarding becomes rewarding

Elbrus, the Binding Blade  ^Flip= transforms into very strong creature

Vorpal Sword= top end win con

Lazotep Chancellor discard= big creature

Hope this helps, good luck. Feel free to critique my decks.

very very cool deck! My immediate favorite alter is Elbrus, the Binding Blade  ^Flip as Griffith's behelit, already one of my favorite artifacts and very very fitting.

MWAHAHAHAHA

Elbrus, the Binding Blade  ^Flip

YOUR DAY HAS ARRIVED! ♡♡♡

Honestly, have an open discussion with your group before the game about how you want to play, whether it be matching power levels or testing something janky. No one wants to sit down at the table, unpack and then lose turn 1. Have fun, and remember, it never hurts to ask.

Now...to work on the write up for my Phoebe deck....

Rise from the Grave (45 Grave, especially the wonderful scene in The Return of the Living Dead when "Trash" is eaten alive by zombies rising from the grave with Do You Want To Party playing)

Metal theme could include Flaming Sword which I love to flash onto Deathtouch creatures like Marchesa. Elbrus, the Binding Blade  ^Flip also
