Deck is DONE —April 1, 2015
Assuming all the cards I ordered get here in time, this (possibly with some maybeboard swaps) is what the deck will look like on its first outing. I think it's pretty tight, but there are some fun-for-power swaps I could make, especially if I bought some of the wishlist stuff.
Wishlist: Doran Buylist
Here are all the options for removal and pseudo-removal, broadly defined to include my tiny splashes of graveyard hate and counter.
Wave of Reckoning/Solar Tide/Fell the Mighty/Retribution of the Meek
Duress (Broadly defined, I said)
Indrik Umbra (Does this count? I'll say yes)

I also have a Doran Commander deck. It's EXTREMELY fun to play. (Here's the link to mine: http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/doran-the-siege-tower-friends/
You want cheap, high toughness cards that are easy to play with limited mana, should you get in mana trouble. If I could offer some cards to add it would be as follows. Sight of the Scalelords, Abzan Beastmaster, Nyx-Fleece Ram, Grizzled Leotau, Sporecap Spider Loxodon Wayfarer, Angelic Chorus, Alpha Authority, Diabolic Tutor, Grim Contest, Ghostly Prison, Spidersilk Net, Kin-Tree Invocation Predator's Rapport and Oblivion Ring among others.
The single goal of a Doran Commander deck is to protect Doran and his ability (hence all the enchantments) and to pump out cheap, high toughness creatures. Anything else that doesn't do much to contribute to those causes can really be eliminated.
For example, in your deck, Glissa, the Traitor, Mirror Entity, Oathsworn Giant, Bear Umbra, Crackdown (Meekstone is a better version and you have it in the deck already), Dauthi Embrace, Necrogenesis, etc. all either have cheaper, better version of similar cards to play or they don't serve a purpose to protect Doran.
Just my two cents. Hope it helps! Feel free to ask me any questions.
