NOTE: I HAVE NEVER PLAYED EDH! This originally was going to be a HEAVY life-leach / Extort type deck, ala Return to Ravnica, but the more I thought about the concept of Commander, the less fun "extort-ing" became. (not to mention there are only like ~10 extort cards...)

So now less "active" strategies, and more "passive" strategies.. as in... if players do stuff, they get hurt...death and taxes i guess its called?

Looking to add more removal...

and to fix mana...

also, trying to keep it kinda cheap, and use cards I already have.

9-29-15: added Defiant Bloodlord and Drana's Emissary from BFZ
