Hey DarkKiridon thanks for your visit! I haven't played the deck yet. I'm slowly gathering all the cards to eventually build this. It seems like a whole lot of fun and so does your deck! I see a lot of similar cards but also some really cool new ones!

How does Termination Facilitator play out? SUch a pity that its Bounty Counter doesn't work with Mathas' lifegain and draw ability xD! I feel like the 'damage becomes destroyed' doesn't too often kill a creature that wouldn't die anyways. Is that right?

I really like your suggestions! Thanks a lot!! As our playgroup grows we find ourselves often times playing commander with more than 4 players. Because no one really likes a three- or four hour game we came up with several variants on the commander format. Two of our most played formats are called The Lone Wolf and The Sheriff. I've added a short explanation of both variants in the deck description. For this time, it seemed fun to me to build a deck that leans into those different variants. I once ran a Gluntch, the Bestower deck, which had the same kind of Politics-style, but now I wanted to do so in Mardu colours. The best colours in MTG!!

Sadistic Shell Game is maybe a little less effective in our variants but I really want to try it anyway! Bounty Board and Gonti, Night Minister have to go into the deck definitely! Tempting Contract can be a really cool card, but it's also a 4 mana do nothing. So I can totally imagine cutting it if in your next upkeep your playgroup isn't tempted... I'd also really like to add Hunted Horror and The Sentry, Golden Guardian but I have no clue what to cut for those...

Also I wonder, in your deck, how do you win? Is that because all creatures are goaded, your opponents are too buys kiling each other and you secretly steal the win? I feel like I have to run at least one alternative wincon. I think I'm going for Insurrection in this deck

Thanks a lot again for your feedback and your suggestions!

Sorry to spam, but more ideas for possible inclusions are coming to mind.

Bloodthirsty Blade is great to equip to an opponents' biggest/best creature when there are 2+ opponents.

Besmirch guarantees you get to "use" the biggest and baddest creature on the board. Then if you dont sacrifice it for something its goaded on its controller's next turn.

Creature stealing effects like Insurrection could be big splashy wincons from out of nowhere. When paired with a sacrifice effect like Sword of the Ages you could potentially take out two players and leave the board clear for your attackers.

Welcome to the club, ClassySquidze!

My first thought here is to pick a direction. You mention Treasures, creature theft, discard, and crimes as themes. The theft and crimes pair nicely together, and the (targeted) discard and crimes, but the discard and theft are kind of competing with each other, and Treasure is more of a utility effect here than a focus, aside from Revel in Riches.

Some cards here don't really seem to fit any theme. Exsanguinate is a good finisher is you can dump lots of mana into it, but it doesn't steal or target anything. Blinding Powder doesn't really support anything either. Thieving Varmint interacts with only a couple of other cards, that let you cast opponents' cards. The discard effects seem like part of a general control/tempo package, instead of a theme by itself.

I think the best approach is to focus on one theme, or two if they overlap enough. Kaervek, the Punisher can string together black cards that target something into a full-on crime wave. The Treasure theme might fit better as a separate deck. At Knifepoint would be another crime payoff. Insurrection and Rise of the Dark Realms aren't bad, but they're 7+ mana, don't target, and are kind of reliant on what the opponent's playing. Maybe focus on discard + crime or theft + crime.

I would like to see more color restrictions brought to EDH. The main reason I play EDH is the color identity concept and the restrictions it brings. No surprise I am against the hybrid rule change mostly for reasons capwner, plakjekaas and others have mentioned.

One example I could think of to increase color restrictions is having a rule that says "Mana of a color outside of your commander's color identity can only be used to pay for generic mana costs". So even with all your Treasure tokens, you couldn't activate the ability of a Mystic Archaeologist you got through Insurrection in your Magda, Brazen Outlaw deck. You're playing mono red, not blue. Exceptions are cards like Opposition AgentGC, because it says "you may spend mana as though it were mana of any color to cast them".

Insurrection could be worth playing over In Garruk's Wake

StarRushford Shuffling in (Collision of Realms, Sway of the StarsGC, The Great Aurora) would get Eclipse off the battlefield. If you count theft as removal, and depending on how the last ability works (...instead they are put onto the battlefield under your control vs. under its owner's control), something like Insurrection + boardwipe would work.
