Started out as a heavily modified Justin Parnell's list from Commander VS. Make tokens, sac them for your commander. There's a lot of crazy synergies that you'll find with blood avatar attacks. Ghired's Belligerence is insane.

Notes: Current land color production count is 19 capable of red, 20 black, 19 white (ignore what the pie chart says).

Sedgemoor Witch + Fury Storm combo

1 Cast your additional instant or sorcery spell, or wait for an opponent to cast one.

2 Sedgemoor Witch triggers, creating a Pest creature token.

3 Cast Fury Storm targeting the instant or sorcery spell.

4 Sedgemoor Witch triggers, creating a Pest creature token.

5 Fury Storm triggers, copying itself for each time you have cast your commander from your command zone this game and choosing the original copy of Fury Storm as the target.

6 Sedgemoor Witch triggers for each copy, creating a Pest creature token each time.

7 Resolve a Fury Storm copy, copying Fury Storm and choosing the original Fury Storm as the target.

8 Sedgemoor Witch triggers, creating a Pest creature token.

9 Repeat from step 7.
