So I found this commander through a video about underrated commanders. I happen to share this opinion. Just get cozy behind the protection of a powerful shield rune enchantment, hold out through the game and enjoy snatching a game or two away from your pod with this fun and unusual EDH deck!

I'm aiming for this deck to be a life gain/pillow fort strategy, with the potential to escalate and become a real threat throughout the flow of the game.

I included 4 cards that I count as wincons. Storm Herd enables me to generate as many 1/1 flying Pegasus tokens as my life total amounts to. If I manage to get to a point where I have 80 life plus (and with this deck, I think I might), I can create an army, wait patiently for my next turn and eliminate my enemies. With an anthem or something similar in play, this will hit all the harder of course. Felidar Sovereign and Test of Endurance are obvious - endure and win sovereignly through sustaining or regaining at least 40-50 life total. Lastly I included Aetherflux Reservoir, which is functions as a life gain engine on its own and enables me to shoot down enemies who might pose too much of a threat to me.

Please tell me what you guys think about it in the comments! Cheers :)
