The power level of this deck is nerfed to fit in with my play group: All Will Be One and Orcish Bowmasters have been left out, one mana rock, no free spells, and no tutors (not even lands -- no shuffling). I am running MDFCs, Channel lands, bounce lands, and cycling lands to keep my mana base efficient. Utility lands include Mount Doom, graveyard interaction, some combat boosts, plus one piece of targeted land destruction.

I love telegraphing that I'm about to smash everyone's face in. To that end, most of the pinging effects trigger off of my opponents' actions rather than my own casts so I can accumulate cards in exile for when I untap. Stuffy Doll & co amplify some of these effects, and provide alternative lines of play (I removed Blazing Sunsteel to avoid combo). Otherwise, grow Ob Nixilis, Captive Kingpin, suit up and swing for excessive damage.

This commander has an incredible level of synergy with a variety of group slug accelerants. It's my "let's play one more quick one" deck: it absolutely murders. Red countermagic and removal that add a random element are fun, and deflection spells are a great way to protect my commander. I like lifegain; this deck makes players (including me) bleed out quickly.
