I don't even know or care what this deck does, points for making everything foil and splashing hypnotoad all over the place :)
Honestly though, Commander is a format that I'd like to try but have only played once and used a premade. I'm afraid I won't be any help with your deck, but I've seen the full series of Futurama dozens of times (not exaggerating...) and I just had to drop by and share some kudos.
I do dig the Gitrog Monster though, he just looks like he doesn't give a crap about anything with those dead eyes and that half eaten person hanging out of his mouth. Seems like a risky Commander to use but probably a lot of fun :)

No worries Nightdragon779, I've done the same thing many times before.
Thanks Hobbez9186, I'm glad you like the deck :) Would you mind giving it a +1?

Tested this deck out last night in a 4-Player game. It took an early lead, weathered through a board wipe, and then gained board superiority quickly enough that I was able to combo out for the win.
I'm quite happy with the deck list in its current state.
I am considering adding in a Boseiju, Who Shelters All
to ensure that my game-finishing Exsanguinate
, or other key Sorceries and Instants are harder to stop, but am not sure if I need it, and WHAT I'd cut in order to add it.

I think adding a description would help a lot of people out. Kind of like a mini primer. That way newer players can get an idea of how to play the deck and what combos they have access to.

The crazy thing is, if you are just looping your deck over and over with infinite dredge and Kozilek, they can counter your Exanguinate all they want, you just recycle your deck and do it again. The only thing you have to worry about then is if they use a counter that exiles.

Good idea Guerte, just need to find time. If you have any ideas of how to write it up, I'm open to suggestions/submissions.
Homer127112 very true... That's why there's also Geth's Verdict for backup.

Ender666666: You can use my Daretti Primer as a baseline for yours. You're more familiar with it so you would have more knowledge of what needs to be in there.

Guerte: True. Can you send me the complete code of your Daretti deck (the Description section), say on FB, that way I can excise your content and add mine, but preserve the structure.

What are your thoughts about Elixir of Immortality? It would be somehow better than Kozilek and is easily fetched if your grave is filling too much, but also doesnt broke your grave as Kozilek may.

Elixir of Immortality is good when you're playing a game of regular Magic. Kozilek, Butcher of Truth is here for the combo win. You need him and his reshuffle triggered ability to combo off with something like The Gitrog Monster + Dakmor Salvage + Skirge Familiar + Exsanguinate or Geth's Verdict. There are other combos too, but to be most effective, they need you to reshuffle your graveyard into your deck repeatedly when you go off, and it's better for that reshuffle to be triggered, than from something that has to be recast repeatedly.

Thanks for the suggestion Nightdragon779. I'm not sure I run enough Forests to make Nissa worthwhile. But I will keep her in mind.
