I saw Alexander Clamilton and thought..."why not use him as a commander?" Basically just some instant and sorcery slinging with other stuff, mostly with 4 lines of rule text or more.

Windfall was tricky. In Urza's Sage, it has only 3 lines of rule text but in but the Kaldheim commander card has 4 lines.

Threw some equipment in to give Alexander Clamilton indestructible. Hopefully he'll survive dueling.

There's a few cards that allow me to untap Alexander Clamilton to use again which would be effective if I have a lot of lines on a card that's on the top of my library: Pemmin's Aura, Minamo, School at Water's Edge

Key combos:

Arc-Slogger + Laboratory Maniac or Laboratory Maniac + Leveler and then draw a card from one of many ways (Commander's Sphere, Curiosity, Crackling Drake, Niv-Mizzet, Dracogenius, somehow kill Solemn Simulacrum, The Locust God, Finale of Revelation, Ponder, Windfall, Arcane Denial if anyone tries to get rid of one of the pieces of the combo, the Explosion half of Expansion / Explosion, Teferi, Master of Time, and Izzet Charm.)

Just to be more annoying, I'm considering adding more of the Secret Lair full text lands; for now, I have one of each of the (Island, Mountain, Terramorphic Expanse.)

NOTE: This is a deck built for fun. It's not a legal deck for anything but causal play. That being said, I will only play this deck if the opponents are ok with me doing so.
