Here is my primary commander deck. It's been a long road to get here, but it was well worth the ride. Here's a short history of the deck for those who are interested:

Fall 2014: Oona, Queen of the Fae is at the helm of Faerie Tribal.

Spring 2015: Oona, Queen of the Fae is at the helm of Pure Control.

---College Starts, New Meta, New Changes---

Fall 2015: Oona, Queen of the Fae is at the helm of Combo Kill.

Winter 2015: Oona, Queen of the Fae is at the helm of Cutthroat Combo.

Spring 2016: I mess around with the idea of adding red after playing against some neat Marchesa, the Black Rose and Jeleva, Nephalia's Scourge decks. I add red, and put Jeleva at the helm. She exiles a key combo piece the first time I play her. She didn't last much longer. Jeleva was replaced by Nekusar, the Mindrazer. Nekusar was ok, but I hated giving more cards to opponents. The advantage outweighed the damage. Nekusar was then replaced by Crosis, the Purger. Crosis seemed liked he would be the solution. I never cast him once. I realized that there were no commanders that truly supported what I wanted to do, so I thought about Nicol Bolas as a flavor general. Who else embodies Grixis so well? But then, I caved in to the general that I had always wanted to build, but didn't quite fit with my play style.

Now, Summer 2016: Marchesa, the Black Rose at the helm of "On Her Majesty's Secret Service." The deck is simply Grixis combo/value. Marchesa is not an important card to the deck. She just adds value to the creatures, the very few of them that made the cut, by allowing them to potentially etb multiple times each game.

The deck contains several combos. They are ranked as followed:

1) Leyline of the Void and Helm of Obedience. This is the primary combo I kill people with. Leyline hoses a lot of decks, and enchantment removal can be hard to cast early game. I have killed turn 2 with this combo. Can only kill 1 person at a time, unless you can untap Helm.

2) Splinter Twin and Pestermite/Deceiver Exarch. A well known combo. I have been able to pull this off turn 2. Can kill a whole table at once.

3) Mindcrank and Duskmantle Guildmage. Many people would run Bloodchief Ascension as well. I tried it, and it just didn't work out to well. This is the slowest combo in the deck. I believe the earliest I've landed this is turn 4? Can kill a whole table at once if you have enough mana/enough ways to deal damage.

Eventually I would like to upgrade the following:

Mystifying Maze to Maze of IthDiabolic Tutor to Vampiric TutorDissolve to Force of WillDimir Signet to Mana CryptCounterspell to Mana DrainTerminate to DamnationFlooded Strand to Scalding TarnIsland to Underground SeaSwamp to BadlandsMountain to Volcanic Island

I would also eventually love to add Cryptic Command.

Please let me know any changes you would make, or any suggestions you have for the deck. Thanks!
