Deckling -

I've played kitchen table magic for many years now. I started playing during the original Mirrodin block, where I built a ridiculous mono-green Elf deck and an equally bad boros samurai deck. I then played off and on again for a while, visiting Kamigawa and Ravnica the first time, then stopping at Time Spiral. I picked it back up again with Return to Ravnica, but only stuck around until the beginning of Theros. I finally came back full time with Shadows over Innistrad and Eldritch Moon and playing since then. As far as formats, I've played a little Standard from Eldritch Moon, through Kaladesh, then stopping after Hour of Devasation, but since the release of Commander 2016, I've been an EDH focused player.

I usually like to play Optimized decks, ranging from 6-9 on the Power Level charts. My primary playstyle is Vorthos (Lore/Story inspired) or anything with counters. There are so many fantastic stories or worlds that I like to explore. My first and primary EDH deck exemplifies this philosophy - Atraxa, Angel of New Phyrexia [PRIMER] is an homage to the corruption of Mirrodin, the first plane I ever visited, and was the first EDH deck I ever bought and built. To this day, she is the gold standard against which I judge all cards and commanders. Whenever a new set comes out, my first thought is how will it work with Atraxa, Praetors' Voice.

Beyond the original stories and planes in the world of Magic, I love being able to tell or represent a story or mythos with MtG cards. My Eldritch Captain of the Deep [Lovecraftian Primer], formerly my 'Lazav, Eldritch Mastermind', delves deeply into my love for the works of H.P. Lovecraft, especially the stories and tales of the Cthulhu Mythos. I find it incredible that I can mix both Lovecraft and Magic the Gathering together in fun ways.

Love the deck and love the song! Have you thought about Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest? A pretty nasty bug that can take advantage of fetchlands or other sac effects. Zask, Skittering Swarmlord seems like another good inclusion, especially with self mill sub-theme you've got going.

I love that Magic can be used to tell or portray other stories and legends. I'm a fan of the Arthurian legends, and this deck is amazing, both in flavor and design! Have you thought about Adeline, Resplendent Cathar? Another Knight, and while your strategy seems to be building up the individual knights with equipment, having some blockers to blunt a crack-back might be effective.

Maddening Cacophony seems like it would fit perfectly here. With enough mana, you can knock out half of your opponents library in one fell swoop.
