I just purchased a Japanese Foil Doubling Season. I have lots of potential uses for it, but with a card like that I need it to be central to whatever deck it goes into.
I play Trostani, Selesnya's Voice. I have a funny Doubling Season + Jace, Architect of Thought + Wheel of Sun and Moon combo. Ive grown into loving Blade of Selves...Im also kind of known as the token guy, so there are no shortage of decks it could be shoe horned into.
What would you guys suggest?

TheDevicer do you or your friend have a deck list? Sounds like a blast to play!

I could point you in the direction of a deck list, but building this kind of deck is so much fun just because you can just jam anything you want and figuring what to run is such a nice puzzle to piece out. Some things to keep in mind:
- A lot of multicolored spells are a must. Charms help. Even if they're not amazing, something that's 5 colors is likely worth playing.
- Get creative with your ramp. You need options to accelerate things since you're likely going to end up with an average CMC of a little below 4 if you build things properly. Think Trace of Abundance and Bloom Tender.
- Prioritize ways of churning through your deck above overloading it with bombs. The deck wants ramp, utility, recursion, bombs, and some interaction. You want to be able to find stuff rather than to draw into things.
- Pay for your mana base. You're playing tons of colors and you want to be able to cast stuff. It sucks, but you're going to want shocks and rainbow lands.

Ramos seems like an amazing option, especially with Maelstrom Wanderer and Yidris. Ridiculous.
Im going to think on this for a bit. Thanks!

You're familiar enough with EDH to know the standard Atraxa or partners suggestions I could throw at you, so I'm just going to skip them. THey all have their merits, but I figured you'd be more interested in something a little unique.
May I present to you Trade Binder Ramos, Dragon Engine. A friend of mine plays this deck in our group and it has insane legs. I've taken to calling the deck by that name because you could literally unsleeve the deck, stick the cards in a binder, and present them to people and they'd never know the cards make up an incredibly tuned take on a janky idea.
The basic idea behind the deck is to play lots of multicolored spells to power out ridiculous amounts of mana and permanents. The deck really goes nuts when it has something like Vedalken Orrery and Doubling Season out. Just imagine the amount of mana you can produce with chaining together something like Yidris, Maelstrom Wielder into Damia, Sage of Stone to refill your hand so that you can cast Maelstrom Wanderer. The best thing about the decks is its 5 colors, so you're free to run pet cards as much as you want. The whole thing seems like such a random pile of cards, but the individual card quality of the deck can actually be super high while also maintaining explosiveness.
Doubling Season won't truly be central to the deck here, but I guarantee it will amp up everything the deck does to an insane degree. Totally win more, but you haven't really lived until you've casted Ramos and one-shot someone that turn with commander damage. Oh, and Conflux is funny as all hell in the deck.
