First, a disclaimer: This deck is very competitive, and built to win. This means that in commander, it will often make you enemies, but believe me, it has proven that it can take that.

The idea behind this deck to get all players drawing as many as possible with cards like Dictate of Kruphix and Prosperity, and having all opponents (or sometimes just all players take damage with each card they draw, using cards such as Fate Unraveler and Phyrexian Tyranny. There are, in addition, a few cards that do both, such as my commander, Nekusar, the Mindrazer, and Spiteful Visions. Cards like Damnable Pact and Cerebral Vortex also act as a sort of psedo-burn in this deck, almost always giving you lots of value. Alhammarret's Archive almost doubles your card draw, as well as giving the added bonus of doubling life gain from Exquisite Blood . If you can get Sphinx's Tutelage out, you can have the ultimate fun of milling your opponent out in commander. Cards like Bribery and Lord of the Void allow me to steal cards from my opponents decks, while Archfiend of Depravity and Sheoldred, Whispering One keep my opponents boards small. Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur gives your opponent no hand as well as giving you a huge one and gaining you tons of life with Reliquary Tower, Venser's Journal, and Ivory Tower . In addition, Extinguish All Hope or any board wipe with Rise of the Dark Realms works quite nicely. Profane Command is removal, gets cards from your graveyard, burns your opponent, and works with Aqueous Form to help get creatures like Lord of the Void and Master of Cruelties through. I find Master of Cruelties to be very fun, as it can cause some to be killed by getting to draw cards. The various kill spells in this deck, such as Silence the Believers and Terminate help weaken the enemy so they can't damage you, and Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker can destroy lands to slow down the enemy. With all this destruction, how could I not run Prince of Thralls ? Exquisite Blood helps this deck recover from all the suicide cards in the deck, in addition to pairing with Sanguine Bond to make an infinite combo. Sidisi, Undead Vizier and Archmage Ascension help get out the cards needed. Any commentary or suggestions are welcome.
