This is my favorite and best commander deck.

The strategy involves mainly winning with my own creatures' ETB effects. As you can see, they all offer a variety of options ranging from tutoring Rune-Scarred Demon to infinite combo win con Abhorrent Overlord + Phyrexian Altar + Gray Merchant of Asphodel .

That doesn't mean I can't win with other peoples' creatures though. It has happened (one memorable example was when I stole a Progenitor Mimic and used it to copy Nirkana Revenant each turn), but that kind of thing does not happen very often.

This deck thrives on the loooonggg grinndddd. The longer the game is drawn out, the better it tends to do. Things to work on include ramp and finding a more reliable win condition. Also, the life loss from Chainer's ability can get burdensome at times, so any suggestions for alleviating that would be much appreciated.
