Sneak attack colors?
Commander Deck Help forum

So I really want to throw sneak attack in a deck. In just having a hard time deciding what colors to use. If I run temur I have access to things like Deadeye Navigator and Temur Sabertooth to bounce my creatures to either keep them in play or bring them back in my hand to abuse them again. If I run grixis then I have access to reanimator effects as well as deadeye so my creatures dying isn't a terrible idea and can be reused later should I need to. The final colors in considering are jund. Jund has access to reanimation, ramp, and two generals that actually have a decent synergy with sneak attacks ability Kresh the Bloodbraided and Sek'Kuar, Deathkeeper. So what do you think tapped out?
Tl;dr what are the best colors for a sneak attack oriented deck and why? Get creative.

I have a Jund deck that played Sneak Attack for the Show and Tell strategy but I ended up removing it later on. If you care to look, here it is: Xira Arien: Girls Just Wanna Have Jund

Kresh the Bloodbraided or Sedris, the Traitor King.
I personally love Sedris, the Traitor King, as it was my first deck I built from scratch. Grixis also has Marchesa, the Black Rose, which works well for with Sneak Attack.
Temur has Riku of Two Reflections.

Marchessa did go through my mind. I've built her before but with sneak attack she just values into value town in her value wagon. I like it. Thanks for the feedback guys

You know, people probably will hate on me for saying this, but Brion Stoutarm.
White has plenty of ways to tutor for your Sneak Attack, and wiping someone out / doubling your life total with a Serra Avatar and 
is a lot of fun.

Kaalia. She incentivizes you to run large creatures worth cheating in anyways.
