I cracked Rashmi, eterneties crafter in a pack and realized she had great potential to be a commander. I started to build a pure simic value engine, where you cast big spells on everyones turn, to cast more big spells. That version included split cards to cheat cmc, and big eldrazi to cheat out. When I played the deck against my friends, I realized that it was just way too slow to keep up, and spent to much time building the engine, just to die to combat damage before getting to ever use it.

Like many of my other decks, I gave up on Rashmi for a while. Some time later I decided to give her another shot, but this time I went another route, because I realized that she was an elf, and would therefore fuel cards like Priest of Titania and Elvish Archdruid. Furthermore, why cheat out expensive cards, when you can just ramp up to them. This deck is now a simic elf-tribal deck which relies on manadorks to cast expensive spells to either draw cards, or cheat more cards from the top of the deck.

This might be an elf shell, but at it's core it's still Rashmi. Therefore I've included cards like Sensei's Divining Top to stack the top of my deck in my favor. Future Sight and Courser of Kruphix will get those pesky lands away from the top of my deck. Vedalken Orrery and Leyline of Anticipation allowes me to cast cards during my opponents's turns, to maximize rashmi's ability. And finally Seedborn Muse and Murkfiend Liege untaps all, or some of my mana, so that I can take even more advantage of Vedalken Orrery.
