Perplexing Test might also be a good addition to bounce everything but your drakes.

likasumbody on Perplexing Test interaction with Commander
9 months ago
Hi,
I had a question come up in my commander playgroup and am hoping someone can help clarify the outcome for me.
Board state: I have 11 1/1 elf tokens and my commander Lathril, Blade of the Elves
On my opponents turn, I tapped my commander Lathril, Blade of the Elves, before I could tap my tokens to "pay" for the ability, my opponent casts Perplexing Test to return all creature tokens to owners hand.
Does the tokens get returned to my hand before the ability resolved or does the ability resolve first?

Replaced -> Replaced with
Yavimaya Coast -> Tropical Island
Shivan Reef -> Volcanic Island
Perplexing Test -> Alchemist's Gambit
Shamanic Revelation -> Acquire
Myr Battlesphere -> Tezzeret the Seeker
The changes I would personally make, though I don't tend to look at a deck with a budget since I don't play with real cards

Personally I find 35 lands to be the minimum I like to run. Rogue's Passage and Reliquary Tower have always served me well but you could also just do 2 more basics.
Ezuri's Predation seems like a shoe in for this commander. Avenger of Zendikar would be good too. Biovisionary if you don't mind alt win-cons. Awaken the Woods and Arachnogenesis maybe?
I see a distinct lack of removal here, I like to run at least 10 removal cards. Otherwise you are kind of just at the mercy of your opponents. Ezuri's Predation that I already suggested can be one but here are some others- Aether Channeler, Perplexing Test, Beast Within, Rapid Hybridization, Reclamation Sage, Terastodon, Acidic Slime, Krosan Grip, Pongify, Return to Nature are all decent options. Some of these are good targets for making copies of too, which could get nutty with say Ezuri's Predation...

NO STEP ON SNEK: Koma EDH [PRIMER]

ddrt: I found it to be a good mass removal spell which ALSO doesn't touch Koma or his coils -- much like Perplexing Test.
I'm never averse to a playable spell that has a major upside when my commander is out, as long as it doesn't RELY on my commander being in play to be good :)
