My biggest suggestion is that your commander has to be a legendary creature. I would suggest possibly swapping this commander out for Sygg, River Cutthroat or Vela the Night-Clad

This is a Pauper EDH deck, as stated in the description; it has an uncommon creature as the commander and commons filling out the 99.

I think you've discovered something quite weird. A commander deck requires a legendary creature as your commander, but a pauper deck requires all your cards to be commons...I'm not sure which one rules out the other one though... JUDGE!

Looks like a good Pauper EDH deck. Good additions for drawing, mana rocks, etc. +1 for adding in the extra crocodile even though it doesn't do that much for you.

Also, I'd suggest including the rules for Pauper EDH in the description. Otherwise, you're likely to continue getting comments from people who don't know the format.

Thanks, and I'll add the rules to the description.

The other crocodiles are in there for swinging late game since I couldn't find many common beaters in Dimir besides Twisted Abomination. If you have some suggestions I'm all ears.

Cards like Gray Merchant of Asphodel and Brainstorm can be used here as well as Ponder; also you need a legendary creature; lol jk I can actually read.

Here's a few more etb cards that could be fun:

Pith Driller, Vedalken Dismisser, and Ravenous Rats can all be useful for control.

Parasitic Strix and/or Bloodhunter Bat for some life gain.

Unless I missed something, Gravedigger is uncommon so I would swap that with Cadaver Imp.

Coral Barrier can keep giving blockers.

Liliana's Shade is gives some ramp and a late game big hitter, possibly paired with Shadow Alley Denizen.

Primal Plasma can be changed to whatever is most helpful for you at the moment.

I hope some of those help!

Thanks for the suggestions. Gravedigger is printed at common in a couple sets so it is eligible to be in the deck, TappedOut just used an uncommon version by default. I may switch it for Cadaver Imp, though; it costs less and is flying.

I really like Liliana's Shade, I'll find a way to fit it in. Coral Barrier is also neat, I'll try it out as well.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Chittering Rats is a absolute house in this type of deck. Great Job!

Ulamog's Crusher and Hand of Emrakul are really good beaters in pauper

Treasure Cruise is great with your graveyard, and Rhystic Study is just great in general, even played in regular commander.

Maybe Capsize and Fade Away as well; they're staples for blue in my pauper meta.

I was running Treasure Cruise for a little while but it loses value each time I return it to my hand. I can try running it again, though. Rhystic Study is an excellent card, I'm ordering one now. I have Fade Away in another deck and it is very effective but this deck tends to have a lot of weenies out so it hurts me some. I'll try running Capsize, as well. Thanks for the suggestions.

Props for the elton john reference! I've been wanting to build a theme deck for him XD. better use Rocketman or yellow brick road i guess. OH! IDEA. Anyways, +1 and awesome job

Cool deck! Unfortunately Go for the Throat is an uncommon. I would recommend Grasp of Darkness in it's place.
