So I'm determined to use Riven Turnbull as my commander, since he shares my real-life last name. I play in a really casual weekly game, and I'm on a super-tight budget, so I decided to try to build a deck around tutoring the pinger-untapper-Illusionist's Bracers infinite damage combo.

Step 1: get out any of the many tap-for-damage creatures.

Step 2: get an untapper like Tidewater Minion or Aphetto Alchemist

Step 3: equip Illusionist's Bracers to one of the untappers, and ping for infinite damage to infinite targets.

Pretty much everything else is there to tutor for those cards, or just card draw. Transmute is great for this. And if Fatestitcher ends up in the graveyard, his Unearth ability is super cheap and will get the job done.

Alternately, there are lots of artifacts there to give deathtouch to my pingers, so they can tap to destroy creatures.

That's pretty much the game plan. It's still a work in progress. Input is appreciated!
