Have you considered Blade of Selves? Gaea's Cradle is also insane, especially with land tutoring and land untap effects, like Seedborn Muse. I know that it's expensive, so I don't blame you for not having one. I also think Brimaz, King of Oreskos is kind of weak in commander, but that just be my bias from my playgroup, but if you are looking for token producers, things like Decree of Justice, Martial Coup(kinda), White Sun's Zenith, Wolfbriar Elemental, and another rattlesnake token producer thingy is Saber Ants. I know saber ants seems weak, but give it a try. It might surprise you. It's bad in a wrath happy meta, but in a giant creature meta, it can be pretty good.

Wheel of Sun and Moon can be nice recursion if you have tutors.
To Karador or Sidisi style decks, it says "No" and they lose.

I don't know if you have mana fixing/ramping issues, but Skyshroud Elf does both things.

Cathars' Crusade should be pretty much staple in any white deck involving lots of creatures in my opinion. Then again, I run pretty budget and I'm not nearly as fond of running classic "EDH Standard Cards", so maybe that's just me!

acefalo: good suggestion, I just worry of it's strength in the mid-game. I will look into it, nonethless.
trey12321: Understandable about the "EDH staples". It is nice to try things out of the box. I once had this as budget deck of most Ravnica set cards with splashes of Avacyn Restored and Innistrad as well. I typically hunt for cards as low as I can, but I am also willing to pay. If someone were to gift me Savannah, I might actually add to the deck, otherwise it stays in that maybeboard. The key to EDH is finding what you enjoy doing and go for it. A lot of the "staples" in this deck are there because I was either burned by playing against it or I liked the interaction it created with the playing field or deck.
Thanks for the suggestion as well, I have a deep loved for that card. The biggest issue is the fact that it cost 5 and WW, meaning that it is tough to put it in as an enchantment. Nonetheless, you have inspired me to look into including back into the 99.

Contested Cliffs can be decent reusable removal that people forget about. Only problem is that it only taps for colorless and your commander is the only target.

Really nice deck :)
I think Selfless Squire could good in here. Protects you nicely and then gives you a big beater to beef up with Gahji.
Windborn Muse and Kazuul, Tyrant of the Cliffs are also great creature-based pillow fort cards.
Assemble the Legion would be terrifying in here a Gahiji would make them 3/1 haste tokens.

...One more thing. Do you find you have enough card draw? I know you're not in the best card draw colours but green has some solid options. Rishkar's Expertise, and Shamanic Revelation would all be on theme with the deck.
Selvala's Stampede also would be bomb card advantage in here.
April 8, 2017 1:02 a.m. Edited.
MegaMatt13: Thank you, first off for the kind words and the upvote! I have put alot into this deck. I toss back and forth with the pillow fort strategy and I think Gahiji: Forever War is the best example for that strategy. I decided to go the tempo route with the right amount of ramp, top deck manipulation and effective creatures.
Taking a look at your suggestions, I can see possibly adding Selvala's Stampede back into the deck.
Rishkar's Expertise is intriguing, but I think six mana is too steep for what the card offers.
Shamanic Revelation: I do own that card and love it. I'll revisit it and see what it can replace in the 99.
Windborn Muse: For me, Ghostly Prison and Michiko Konda, Truth Seeker do a good enough job to not need more than that, but good suggestion.
Assemble the Legion: an amazing enchantment that I have never sold and love a lot. My biggest issue is the cost. My five CMC slot is at 7 (not including the commander) and so for an effect that takes time to build, I hestiate to add it in. I will look into re-adding it, if the situation does present itself.
Kazuul, Tyrant of the Cliffs: I really like this ogre legend with is unorthodox ability, but he fall under the same category as Windborn Muse. I like to dabble into different strategies, which why this deck has so many different creatures and unique artifacts in it.
Once again, I appreciate all the insight and will look into the ones I referenced. Thanks!

These HOU cards could be good:
Overwhelming Splendor
Crook of Condemnation
June 28, 2017 1:54 a.m.
From Hour of Devastation:Solemnity can combo with Devoted Druid, and Dark Depths. A 20/20 flying, indestructible, for free is always fun.Also the land can be fetched by Captain Sisay, or Crop Rotation at instant speed...

dommes89: Thank you for the suggestions. I like each of those cards and I do own Mirage Mirror. I'm still looking to place it effectively in the deck. As for the other cards:
Overwhelming Splendor: It is a bomb-shell at 8 mana. I'm just not sure if I wish to be any more of a target than I usually am.
Uncage the Menagerie: one of the stronger cards for EDH. Nonetheless, if it had stated, "or less", I'd probably be more inclined to include it.
Solemnity: a great card that only effects 3 cards within my deck. It will be in the maybeboard.
Crook of Condemnation: graveyard hate is always welcomed. It's alittle slow for me though.
Mirage Mirror: I love this card. It has SO MUCH POTENTIAL! My only issue is the fact that it costs 3, which is a very filled slot for me currently. It will be in my maybeboard.
Hour of Revelation: can be a powerful board wipe with a great way to cheapen its cost. My worry is its WWW cost.
Ramunap Excavator: strong card that can be powerful with fetch lands and land destruction cards. My issue once again is its 3CMC cost.
Samut, the Tested: an ok walker that has a very strong ult. I find her hard to protect overall and a walker that only seems to have a good ult.
Thank you for all the suggestions!

Goblin Sharpshooter? Works awesome with Basilisk Collar
February 10, 2018 1:58 p.m.
I 2nd Selvala's Stampede - that card is ridiculous in my Sisay deck which fields almost as many bombs as this.
Also 2nd Etali, Primal Storm - Strong when you already have a haste enabler as commander. Real solid if you don't excel @ card advantage to potentially play that many free spells per attack.
February 11, 2018 3:04 a.m.
Vegnus: Originally, I was going to invest in one, but later decided not to. I'm looking forward to testing this elder dinosaur out. Thank you for the suggestion.
KumaLKS: That's fun combo. I'm a bit cautious about the game swinging to archenemy if this combo is allow to be assembled. I'll think about it. Thanks you for the suggestion, nonetheless!
Gleeock: Your Right, Selvala's Stampede is very strong. I might test it out in place of Austere Command for a bit. Thanks!
February 11, 2018 5:14 p.m.
How about Mother of Runes? I haven't met the creature deck yet that doesn't love her, plus she gets haste!
February 11, 2018 11:18 p.m.
metta206: she is very strong. I will think about adding her again. thanks!

What about Kozilek, Butcher of Truth? Kozilek with haste usually means "game over" for the opponent. Also Duskwatch Recruiter Flip is an amazing uncommon in my build! When you have Mirrari's Wake out lets you dig for basically any creature you want! :D Also why no Aggravated Assault, synergyzes well with Sword of Feast and Famine. REALLY. WELL. Otherwise I really like the build! Check out mine http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/samut-voice-of-infinite-beatdown/ It's not quite finished yet. I want the main combo of the deck to be infinite combat steps :D because i'm an asshole
February 16, 2018 12:22 p.m.
If you do decide to use Aggravated Assault, Bear Umbra also synergyzes really well with it.

MosesCanada:
- Though I despise the annihilator mechanic, I do like the shuffle effect the Eldrazi titans have stapled to them. The only reason I don't run it is because of the price and lack of owning one. Great suggestion, nonetheless.
I have considered Duskwatch Recruiter Flip. It has been a while since I tested it in the deck. I'll look into it.
In regards to Aggravated Assault: I do like the enchantment and own 3 of them, but not sure yet what to replace it with.
KumaLKS: Very true. I used to own a Bear Umbra. It is a very strong effect. I'm just a little weary of strong permanents like Bear Umbra that can't be resurrected by Sun Titan. Thank you for the advice, :)

Cicjose: great removal card. I go back and forth with it being in the deck or not. Super useful against a lot of graveyards strategies, so I'll look into it.
