This is my finalized version of the Commander 2013 Preconstructed Deck, Mind Seize. It retains the same Commander, but the overall construction and strategy is dropped in favor of a more powerful, aggressive playstyle. The deck has plenty f ways to put pressure on an opponent and search both decks to either eliminate an imposing threat, or fetch bigger ones.

In keeping Jeleva, Nephalia's Scourge as my Commander, I thought Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver and Mind Grind would be excellent help with dropping my opponents cards before they even get to see them. I also added Jace, Memory Adept , Curse of the Bloody Tome , and Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker to pressure my opponents even further. The Charmbreaker Devils help keep the pressure strong after I play Mind Grind or help me keep searching for big creatures after a Demonic Tutor.

All in all, the deck works wonders for me. I'm thinking about taking out Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur , but don't know what to swap for. If anybody has any ideas, please share. Upvotes and comments are welcome!
