Jodah's Avenger
Creature — Shapeshifter
: Until end of turn, Jodah's Avenger gets -1/-1 and gains your choice of double strike, protection from red, vigilance, or shadow. (((Remember the acronym debt.) This creature can't be damaged, enchanted, equipped, blocked or targeted by anything red. Anything red attached to this creature immediately falls off.) (A creature with shadow can block or be blocked by only creatures with shadow.)*

Scarecrows > Board Wipe

You need to protect the King. Clout of the Dominus, Aspect of Mongoose, Pledge of Loyalty or boots/greaves.
Blessing of the Nephilim and Spirit of Resistance are fun in 5 color decks
Cloudstone Curio allows you to cycle your scarecrows for more destruction. But its kinda pricey right now.
Jodah's Avenger is a shapeshifter but does NOT count as a scarecrow.

Oh, huh. Guess I missed some comments... I've retired this deck so I haven't been keeping up with what is good and what is not.
Diskord at the time I just wasn't wanting to using infect. Vector Asp would be quite strong in here though since you can turn Volrath into vector asp, activate the ability, and then should be able to turn him into something else and still have the infect. I'd want to double check that if I was playing the deck... Jodah's Avenger giving double strike would be a solid choice with that interaction.

Dauthi Embrace, Nether Traitor, Shadow Rift, and Stronghold Rats could be good also maybe Jodah's Avenger.
Also look at Mardu Shadowspear

Deck looks good, I like the Hellkite, I'm gonna make two lists of suggested cards, one for combo pieces and one for value.
Combo
All of these I would 100% want in the deck
Value
Fathom Mage*** 100% want
Farseek* good with a breeding pool
Seedborn Muse* I know this is expensive now but it's strictly better than Murkfiend Liege
Heroic Intervention* better than some of the janky +1 counter regen stuff
Uncage the Menagerie* Not 100% on this one but there's some 2 card 2 drop combos with Kraj
The stuff I'd recommend dropping are cards that aren't combo pieces, removal/protection, ramp or card draw/tutors. Cards like Nissa (that I recommend), master biomancer and forgotten ancient are good for getting the combo going, so I'd slot them in last if you've filled the combo piece etc slots. Kruphix, for example, doesn't offer anything to this deck.

Thank you for the suggestions.
Shapers of Nature is to be tested, but I think it's just going to be an expensive version of Zameck Guildmage.
My playgroup has a house rule which doesn't allow taking more than one extra turn in a game, so sadly Sage of Hours isn't going to be in the deck. The combo does work, and goes infinite as long as Experiment Kraj can get five counters each turn (the copied ability of Sage of Hours on Kraj gives Kraj the ability to remove five +1/+1 counters from himself to take an extra turn, so that gets pretty devastating really fast).
Viridian Joiner is a really nice one! I'll go playtest it, and it probably is going to make it in the deck (it's better than most mana dorks that are already in it).
Kruphix, God of Horizons is a really good card, but I wonder if he does enough in the deck. Although he's never really a dead card, most of the time the effect is not as great as I first thought it would. Maybe he goes in the deck sometime, but for now, he's not going to make it in.
Jodah's Avenger and Elvish Aberration were both considered for the deck once (Elvish Aberration even was in the first version of the deck), but both didn't make it to the deck ultimately because they are too expensive for what they do. They have nice abilities, but I prefer cheap creatures with scaling power through the game or more expensive ones with big, splashy effects. Also, at the time, there were way too much 6-drops in the deck, so only the best could stay (more than 20 cards were 6-drops, of which one was my commander).
Training Grounds doesn't do as much in the deck as you would think at first. Most activated abilities are very cheap and have no generic mana. The creatures that do get affected are Gilder Bairn, Arcanis the Omnipotent, Duskwatch Recruiter Flip, Fertilid, Heroes' Bane, Jolrael, Empress of Beasts, Knacksaw Clique, Pili-Pala, Plaxcaster Frogling, Shaman of Forgotten Ways, Simic Guildmage, Spike Tiller, Spike Weaver, Ulvenwald Tracker and Vigean Graftmage. Those seem like a lot, but it's only a small third of the creatures (15 total), and some of the affected abilities are either only reduced by , or not used that much. If Training Grounds would be cheaper prise-wise though, it would easily have made the deck.
Again, thanks for the time you took to help me with the deck.

If you want extra card draw and counters Shapers of Nature is pretty good.
I don't know if this is how it works but extra turns Sage of Hours.
Some other good cards are Viridian Joiner, Kruphix, God of Horizons, Jodah's Avenger, Training Grounds, and Elvish Aberration.

Hello, welcome to EDH!
ADDS:
Firstly, 27 lands is not enough, especially in a three color deck. I would aim for 35-37 in this deck since you have 6 mana rocks.
If you are up for ordering cards, Command Tower should go in any commander deck with more than one color.
Evolving Wilds is exactly Terramorphic Expanse, but having both doesn't hurt for consistency.
Recently rotated from standard lands that are pretty cheap right now: Sunken Hollow, Hissing Quagmire, Lumbering Falls
Pain lands are pretty cheap too: Yavimaya Coast, Underground River, Llanowar Wastes
Counterspell is strictly better than Cancel.
You are going to want Swiftfoot Boots to protect your commander and give it haste.
There are 2 different ways you can go about building the deck.
You can go for easy wins with Blighted Agent and Jodah's Avenger.
Or you can go for more fun stuff like Mycoloth, Sage of Hours, Master Biomancer, and Cold-Eyed Selkie.
Either way is valid and enjoyable, it just depends on who you play with and how you like to play.
For either one though, you need more big creatures for Mimeoplasm's second targer for counters. Some good cheap options are Krosan Cloudscraper and Ghoultree. Inkwell Leviathan and Gaea's Revenge can be used as targets for the first or second ability.
Terastodon can be used as removal and then as counters later in the Mime.
REMOVALS:
Firstly, Gifts Ungiven is banned in commander. If you are playing casually it shouldn't be too big a deal, but I thought I'd let you know.
Artisan's Sorrow or Relic Crush. 3/4 Enchantment/Artifact Removal is a little overkill.
Metallic Rebuke is not very good here because the only non-creature artifacts you have produce mana, so you can't really use the improvise that often.
I don't know if you are going for a recursion theme, but generally in this deck you want your creatures to stay in the graveyard, so Wander in Death, Fortuitous Find, and March of the Drowned don't seem very good in this deck. A little bit of recursion is good in any deck, but this is too much.

Lord_Khaine well for self blink AEtherling does quite nicely, but if we're only trying to avoid removal, Cavern Harpy, Morphling, Erratic Portal, Soul of New Phyrexia, Torchling, Counterspell, Force of Will, Ertai, Wizard Adept, technically Jodah's Avenger, and my personal favorite Cephalid Inkshrouder all do the job quite nicely.
