Looking for other flicker combos using Eldrazi Displacer on things like Obzedat, Ghost Council or Gray Merchant of Asphodel. For card draw I use Skullclamp or Tome of Legends (good synergy with this commander) and Alhammarret's Archive. Some revival for creatures or permanents include Reveillark , Restoration Specialist , or Sun Titan since they get almost anything back and Karmic Guide will help with reviving bigger creatures. A few things that make others leave you alone or slow them down include Ghostly Prison , Sphere of Safety , Athreos, God of Passage , Suture Priest , Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts , Witch of the Moors , and Blind Obedience. Things that help kill your opponents with your life-gain are Sanguine Bond , Vizkopa Guildmage (activated 2nd ability) or Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose especially if you can use them with Extort from Pontiff of Blight or double life gain with Rhox Faithmender or by casting Heliod's Intervention. Exquisite Blood will go infinite with Sanguine Bond, Vizokpa, or Vito. Couple of big mean planeswalkers I like for this are Ajani, Strength of the Pride or Sorin Markov for an upsetting board state for your opponents if you can get something off from their big abilities (Ajani's +1 or his +0 and Sorin's -3 can be so unfair when facing this deck) and Ajani's -2 and Sorin's +2 aren't horrible for this deck either so big value all around for these planeswalkers. Kaya the Inexorable just feels like good insurance with her +1, her -3 is nice point removal, and her ult helps get back planeswalkers or other legendaries.
