YamishiTheWickedOne, from what I have been reading, I would not be sanguine about the return of the Crypt and Lotus. They seem to be aiming to maintain the status quo, at least for a good while, so that the death threats to the RC will not "win."

Regardless, I would aim more for keeping the curve low for the benefit of the Citadel! :)

YamishiTheWickedOne, ah the glory days of Commander, back when it was EDH...

I can understand wanting to stick to Commander, for sure. For me, I'd go with something commonly accepted then, considering that Magic is not their main jam.

YamishiTheWickedOne, that is a personal call. How regular is your play group? From my perspective, if I had a regular play group, then I would feel more comfortable asking about a rule zero to allow them back in. But if I am most often playing pick up games, then I would want a deck that I could be more confident in its acceptance and legality.

YamishiTheWickedOne, I would definitely add back in Wheel of Fortune, and yes, cut Sorin, the Altar, and the Ripper. Another thing to consider is the tutor suite. You run a lot of them. What are you tutoring for? Do you need that density of tutors? If not, those are some slots that could opened up. I run only a couple of tutors in my list, partially because I don't like to have too many tutors in any deck (just a personal building choice), but also because I mostly just wanted more draw. It does not really matter which cheap vampire I play, just that I play them often!

I would also consider cutting the Dark Ritual, unless it serves some purpose beyond powering out Edgar faster. With the loss of Mana Crypt, I don't know if that is the direction to take?
