Garrulous Sycophant
Creature — Human Advisor
At the beginning of your end step, if you're the monarch, each opponent loses 1 life and you gain 1 life.

I don't know about this deck honestly. Your trying to be kind to opponents but playing stax? Seems kind of counter productive to me. Stax is like the opposite of being friendly to the other people, so I am just not sure how well this strategy will work. Cards to take out: Mind Stone , Fate Unraveler , Garrulous Sycophant , Kaervek, the Spiteful , Austere Command , Ob Nixilis, the Hate-Twisted , Gang Up . I know that isn't 20 cards, but that is a start. Try to take out cards that do not do what your deck is trying to do. Hope that helps.

Hi everyone. My friends and i wanted to build four decks to make a Game of Thrones inspired game (similar to the one played on the Star City games YouTube Channel). I want your help to find cards thar resemble characters in the show. Here some examples i've already found:
Lazav, the Multifarious - Jaquen H'ghar
Agent of Masks & Body Double - Arya
Adriana, Captain of the Guard - Brienne
Queen Marchesa - Cersei
Protector of the Crown - The Mountain
Haakon, Stromgald Scourge - The Mountain Undead
Garrulous Sycophant - Little Finger
Skyline Despot - Drogon
Tolsimir, friend to wolfes - Ned Stark
Wall of Frost - The great Wall

The only vote card you're missing is Messenger Jays; just wanted to point that out.
Given the fact that each of your commanders are focused on political card draw, it would be pretty awesome if this deck also had a subtheme of being the monarch. I would add Canal Courier and Keeper of Keys, which both have synergy with Tymna, Custodi Lich and Palace Jailer for extra removal, Garrulous Sycophant to trigger Ludevic, Knights of the Black Rose, Protector of the Crown as an additional pillow fort effect, Queen Marchesa, Skyline Despot, Throne of the High City, and Throne Warden.

This is a great deck, but you don't have card draw. Consider the Monarch mechanic, with cards such as Garrulous Sycophant, Marchesa's Decree, and Skyline Despot. Indulgent Tormentor looks good, but in Commander your opponents will almost always just pay the life or sacrifice a token, so it might not be worth running unless you include a Cryptborn Horror.

More testing and tweaking:
-1 Archetype of Finality; +1 Odric, Lunarch Marshal
I love the thought of giving all my creatures deathtouch, but the cost of Archetype of Finality outweighed its benefit. Often my creatures already had deathtouch, and the archetype was too weak to really be a useful beater. Because I so often have Queen Marchesa out, Odric, Lunarch Marshal had the same effect for a lower cost. Plus, Odric combo'd with so many other creatures like Gisela, Blade of Goldnight (flying, first strike), Master of Cruelties (deathtouch, first strike), Vampire Nighthawk (flying, deathtouch, lifelink), etc...
-1 Archetype of Courage; +1 Valor
The central effect I wanted with Archetype of Courage was to give my creatures (especially the deathtouch ones) first strike. Valor seems to do this better because it both combos with Odric, Lunarch Marshal and works from the graveyard, where it is much harder to remove.
-1 Crawlspace; +1 Brave the Sands
Crawlspace was only rarely doing anything in my playtesting. Most of the time I'm getting hit with only one or two creatures anyway. Large numbers of creatures are equally prohibited by Ghostly Prison effects. Thus, the card usually just sat there. Brave the Sands was much more useful more of the time as it allowed me to attack and keep my attackers available for blocking, and then allowed them to block additional creatures. The combo of deathtouch/first strike/vigilance is super powerful on both offense and defense.
-1 Garrulous Sycophant; +1 Bastion Protector
I liked the combo of Queen Marchesa and Garrulous Sycophant, but it was just too weak/slow to do too much. Bastion Protector makes Queen Marchesa 5/5 haste, deathtouch, indestructible. That's an incredibly powerful attacker or blocker, and she only gets better if I have Brave the Sands out or Valor in my graveyard. And if Odric, Lunarch Marshal is on the field, all my creatures gain indestructible.
-1 Aegis of the Gods; +1 Angelic Skirmisher
Not too sure on this one, but I was finding that I rarely needed the hexproof and more often needed a largeish creature. My meta doesn't do a lot of burn or direct interaction. Angelic Skirmisher was more flexible for my creatures, giving them whatever keyword I needed at the time. It is a lot more expensive and doesn't have a huge body, so we'll see.
-1 Urborg Volcano; +1 Plains
Needed more white mana, and the extra plains helps with Valor.
