Esper exalted EDH, because I really wanted to use my best bud Nefarox to his full potential. Let's be civil, please.

Previous titles:
(Ertai, the Corrupted)
Reverence and the Death of Fun
(Chromium)
Reverence and the Glory of Order

Needs lots of work, very incomplete list. I feel like I need to rely less on Sublime Archangel, or make her more durable somehow.

Basically we're tapping and untapping ad nauseum, and because there are some nice effects having to do with that that aren't the commander, it's all cool.

There are also a few neat combos involving Adarkar Valkyrie and sacrificing things with Sidisi, Undead Vizier and Ertai, the Corrupted's sac abilities. For example, it allows Sidisi to sac herself the first time, and maybe some stolen enemy creature or a Mirror-Sigil Sergeant token the second time to search for two cards instead of one. It also allows you to utilize enemy EtB triggers for creatures stolen with Merieke Ri Berit or Beguiler of Wills multiple times, by either sacrificing them or in the former case, simply by untapping the commander.

Primary targets for Clever Impersonator is probably going to be either Tezzeret the Seeker , Sublime Archangel or something you want of the enemy's; for Evil Twin, any non-indestructible enemy commander is a great choice.

Suggestions are, as always, welcome.
