Like most magic players that started as kids, I somehow ended up with a large pile of random cards, from years of buying sealed product and random cheap singles. Ive made afew efforts to take this sealed pool qnd build them into decks, the first time(when the pool was smaller) I made an extra mono deck of each color, that seemed like a waste of cards so next I took them apart and built several casual 2 color decks out of them. This worked much better, the decks did well against other people with untuned casual decks, but did not do well against most typical 60 card constructed decks.

After discovering Commander I figured my pool of cards would work better as casual commander decks, alot of the cards are decent, but there's only one or two of each.

So the deck here is probably one of the more powerful ones I've built. Its got something of a milling theme going on, its got Donate + Illusions of Grandeur . which does not kill another opponent when they can't pay its upkeep anymore, like in 60 card magic, but it can cut an opponents life in half, and gives me extra fuel for Necropotence. Theres some bigger threats like Chancellor of the Dross and Stronghold Overseer. Theres some small creatures too, to fill up my board and mostly work as defense.

There's also Grindstone + Painter's Servant that's the primary win condition, along with swinging with my bigger creatures. Its not a very efficient commander combo since it does not kill every player at once, but I don't feel as bad taking it to a less competitive table because of it.

The main goal is to get Library of Leng + Necropotence out, so I can draw a large amount of cards at once, so I can draw the other nasty stuff in the deck. Incase my threats all falter I have a backup of decking myself out and playing Laboratory Maniac. There's a few tutors to help me get cards like Necropotence out too, like Demonic Tutor
