I've noticed that this deck loved to play its Creatures at Instant speed. After looking at the Oath of the Gatewatch spoilers, I've noticed that there are quite a few good 3 CMC or less creatures in the set to make Collected Company even stronger. The format has sped up quite a bit with this set (except when you get hit with a Reflector Mage) that going all in with creatures with some utility cards like the Command's could really work.

The main goal of the deck is to use Collected Company to grind out your opponent with all our tempo plays, bouncing there creatures and once we develop a good board state, it should be free to swing in.

This is a description of all the creatures in the deck:

Bounding Krasis: He's great as he can be Flashed in to tap down an oncoming attacker, or a blocker to help swing in once we've built up a board.

Den Protector: Usually unblockable for easy quick damage. It gets us back anything from our graveyard to recast like Reflector Mage, any of our Commands, or CoCo! Also is the best way to get Deathmist Raptor back.

Deathmist Raptor: 3/3 Deathtouch. Even if he dies, he comes back with a simple flipped up Morph like Den Protector or another Deathmist Raptor (remember that when Den Protector flips, a returning Deathmist Raptor isn't your choice of card to go back to your hand). He also combos nicely with Dromoka's Command's fight ability.

Harbinger of the Tides: Another great tempo creature to hit with CoCo. Combo's well with Bounding Krasis.

Reflector Mage: The ETB is just straight up value. Very cheap to play only costing . I'll totally bounce your creature and make sure it doesn't show up again until at least my next turn!

Eldrazi Displacer: This is where the Magic happens! This card is soooo good! Her ability allows us to blink any creature we want, so we can stop an attacking creature, we can save our own creature, or we can just blink one of our creatures like Reflector Mage and just get even more value out of the ETB effect of that or any of our other cards with ETB effects!

Sylvan Advocate: Probably the least impactful creature to hit with Collected Company. But late game he's a 2 drop for a 4/5 Vigilance. He also gives +2/+2 to our Lumbering Falls. All as long as we have 6 Lands that is.

Silkwrap: Easily one of the best removal spells in Standard right now.

Dromoka's Command: Our best removal. Use it to make our creature bigger and fight another creature. It can also get rid of any Enchantments we don't like seeing.

Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated! I would love to get as much feedback as possible to try and make this deck as best as it could be early on for OGW Game Day!

Game Day! — Feb. 13, 2016
Edit

I took this deck to my LGS for Game Day expecting there to be quite a bit of Bant Company deck's hanging around. My first week I piloted the deck to a 3-1 record and I was the sole player playing this deck type. This past Friday at FNM, I went 2-2 and there turned out to be 6 people playing it! So I switched things up for this tournament specifically (if the changes are good, they will stay as permanent changes)

Mainboard:

-2x Harbinger of the Tides -2x Eldrazi Displacer +4x Jace, Vryn's Prodigy  Flip

Sideboard:

-2x Stasis Snare +2 Hallowed Moonlight

Now for the results, my record was 2-2 once again. My tiebreakers got me the 8th seed in the top 8.

Round 1: vs / Elves Won 2-0

He couldn't get much going game 1. Game 2 I sideboarded in the Silkwraps and drew them often early. Collected Company put me wayyy ahead on board.

Round 2: vs Bant Company Lost 1-0-1

We only played one game. The board was flooded with creatures to the point that we were only swinging with Sylvan Advocate(s)! I drew Collected Company very late and ended up going with the Deathmist Raptor + Den Protector plan very early with Dromoka's Command. He however casted Collected Company 4 times before I even casted it once (he had Jace, Telepath Unbound  Flip). He won by getting 2 Jace Emblem's, and the final touch was a Nissa Emblem. We ended up going to turns and didn't have time for a 2nd game.

Round 3: vs Atarka Red Lost 1-2

This round was actually much longer than I expected. Game 1 I got stomped and lost on turn 4. Game 2 He wasn't as fast and on turn 4, CoCo got me 2 Arashin Cleric which he did in fact have Atarka's Command in hand but didn't realize he could've Skullcracked me with it so he used it to pump instead. I won but it took me a very long time to close out the game. Game 3 we had only 5-7 minutes left and went to turns and he top decked Reckless Bushwacker and surged it by just hard casting Zurgo Bellstriker.

Rounder 4: vs Abzan Won 2-0

I was put against a noob with a good deck (he's not new to the game but he makes several rookie mistakes). I squashed him both games with Sylvan Advocate's.

Round 1: vs Grixis Dragons Lost 1-2

During the first game, I got him very quickly with Den Protector, Sylvan Advocate and Reflector Mage bouncing his Hangarback Walker and Thunderbreak Regent. He did play Dragonlord Silumgar to try and take my Sylvan Advocate, but I got Collected Company during his turn and found Reflector Mage ultimately ending the game. He destroyed me the next 2 games as I failed to get anything going.

So my overall record was 2-3, not to happy with it. I feel the deck has soared in popularity and that has caused a lot of mirror matchups recently (at my LGS anyway). Having Jace, Vryn's Prodigy  Flip in the deck I think is really good...but honestly I never saw him enough to really judge how much I like it. The Hallowed Moonlight's were specifically for the mirror matchups but I did put 1 in against Atarka Red for Hordeling Outburst as it's a good tempo play that way.
