Endless Cockroaches
Creature — Insect
When Endless Cockroaches is put into to a graveyard from play, return Endless Cockroaches to its owner's hand.

Tenacious Underdog & Endless Cockroaches are both great value here! As far as dorks go, there's of course things like Birds of Paradise, Ignoble Hierarch & Bloom Tender, but also Llanowar Elves, Fyndhorn Elves, Elvish Mystic, Elves of Deep Shadow for less dollars lol.
Theft effects could work if you incorporate more sac outlets, I honestly don't know if I'd go that route with this one, though. The Commander itself doesn't naturally synergize with that strategy imo, it's essentially trying to generate and kill it's own tokens/creatures to draw cards.
I'm not sure what I'd replace from this particular list, but consider starting a new list with a new approach! That's what I do, anyway.
Oh man, also consider Sneak Attack! It essentially reduces the casting cost of your creatures to , gives them Flash, makes them uncounterable and is also a pseudo-sac outlet. Pretty nice!

Aggravated Assault Breath of Fury and Seize the Day were all on my radar, I was going to play it a bit and see what cards just didnt feel right and trying some extra combat effects were at the top of my list.
I feel like had enough theft effects and just I kind of threw Act of Treason in or similarly Eternal Witness kinda got thrown even though I feel pretty comfortable with the amount of recursion I added like Tenacious Underdog(I didnt realize I like in the Deck so much because it can sac itself so maybe I should look into that) or Endless Cockroaches.
I just really wanted to something aristocrats but I feel like I could used any commander and use the aristocrat staples so I started leaning into the theft effects now I’m just worried I’m spread a little too much between the 2.
What mana dorks are there? Like Sakura-Tribe Elder & Birds of Paradise
What are you thinking you would remove?

Cut Suggestions=
- Ichor Wellspring, great rate for drawing but you have plenty of draw spells + commander.
- Gravecrawler, Nether Traitor, Bloodghast, Endless Cockroaches since you are adding a level of recursion into the deck, these guys are obsolete, since we would rather have cards that have ETB or dies triggers. We can re-evaluate if you are having problems finding creatures to sac.
- Darkness, hopefully with your lifegain this card would be dead.
- Dauthi Voidwalker, while an awesome card it doesn't really fit the mold, and we need to make cuts.
- Swiftfoot Boots, I would find out how often your commander gets hated off the board before deciding if you need this.
- Demonic Pact, I love the fact that you can get around the negative of this card, but it is slow and we need to cut cards.
- Weatherlight Compleated, slow.
Add Suggestions=
- Black Market Connections, draw, ramp, and fodder all in one.
- Yahenni, Undying Partisan, one of the best sac outlet ever.
- Great Unclean One, both drain and fodder. I think he would be better than Sengir Autocrat
- Phyrexian Tower, sac outlet and ramp.
Edit= - Bolas's Citadel can also be considered card draw.

I have a similar deck featuring Contamination as the centerpiece. I’ve found Endless Cockroaches a solid addition, especially considering that cheap removal abounds in the format and you don’t want to be caught unable to pay the upkeep cost. Bitterblossom is great but pings you to death and is subject to removal, and the other two token generating creatures can likewise be removed quite easily. Endless Cockroaches really only fears exile spells. Otherwise you’re able to sacrifice it, return it to hand and recast it for a great lock loop.

Also I don't know if this counts for your purposes, but it might give you some additional effects/options even if it's not exactly your thing...how about Rebound spells like Faithless Salvaging ? If this is something that seriously interests you, Taigam, Ojutai Master will give it to all your instants/sorceries.

Well, a good classic card for storm decks is Aetherflux Reservoir and you aren't running a Bolas's Citadel which imo is too good to pass up. Also some bombs in this deck is Endless Cockroaches , Cloudstone Curio , Ayara, First of Locthwain and Priest of Gix . Demon's Disciple and Plaguecrafter are also good cards, can't have too many Fleshbag Marauder effects.
I also enjoyed playing Painful Quandary , Smokestack , Descent into Madness Bitterblossom and Contamination when I built Endrek Sahr, Master Breeder and Tergrid, God of Fright Flip would probably fit here too.
This commander I used as a sac stax deck with a storm win con, Exsanguinate is another win con you can use for this deck.
Good luck, hope your play group keeps playing with you haha

I really like that green has stuff like Progenitor Mimic , Scute Swarm , Spawnwrithe , Giant Adephage , and Permeating Mass , as well as Rhys the Redeemed . But I want a card like Brood of Cockroaches , Endless Cockroaches to be like that and Ogre Slumlord .
Cockroach Infestation
Creature - Insect
When a nontoken creature dies, at the beginning of the next end step, create a token copy of Cockroach Infestation.
1/1
This is designed to basically limit how combos using it can work. Also, it'll be amazing in a devotion deck, as every token is 3 devotion to black.
I'd like to see a White card that uses the Battalion/Mentor mechanic, and also creates token copies of itself, like Legion Warboss , making copies of itself, and monowhite.

Can you infintely cast the newly spoiled Skyclave Shade with Aluren from your graveyard? If so, I would put this in my Varolz, the Scar-Striped deck as a backup for if I were to lose my Endless Cockroaches. Pretty much infinitely sac the cockroaches to varolz and play them with aluren with a Blood Artist, Grave Pact, Forgotten Ancient, or any other thing that cares abt things being cast or dying. So would substituting the shade for the cockroaches still allow this combo to go infinite?
