This is a bit rough yet but I have been sort of hashing it out. The overall thought is just to hate on most everything. I wanted to keep to a minimum on the stuff that I will be hating on for inclusion though. Its still sort of rough though so I apologize for that.
Ok, so I wanted to build a new sort of control deck that runs super creature light then hates on creature strategies heavily. This is sort of what I was coming up with:
I considered adding more pillowfort with more Propaganda type effects however I disliked how they didnt protect my planeswalkers. Also, my commander already covers a lot of the pillowforting so I wanted to go a bit more in the direction of a deck that hates on other strategies. I wanted to have sort of a unique deck as if it plays differently than my other decks it will be a lot more interesting to pilot. Currently my primary wincon is commander beats. Hopefully the pillowfort effects of my commander can just sort of let me play defensively and watch as people pick each other off and I answer what sneeks through at me.
Artifacts - I wanted to run a bunch of mana stones but as I was looking at all of the hate I could include... I decided it was better to run a ramp light package and hate on other's artifacts. I currently have three hate cards for them in the list between: Stony Silence, Null Rod, and Damping Matrix. Due to this I am currently packing light on artifacts with activations.
Creatures - I am packing a little heavy on my wraths from normal. Nothing too crazy but my current count is something like 3-5 wraths depending on what you want to count. Overall I wanted to have a light package here.
AND YES!!! this list totally needs more Moat... sadly I dont have one or plan to get one anytime soon. I own a Tabernacle and it needs to be put to use so yes I will include that in the list. I am aware of this and it will be on my things to do list. But for now... no I dont have one.

I have officially moved to MTGNexus. I just wanted to let people know as my response time to salvation decks being bumped is very hit or miss.
Planeswalkers give value over time. Normally they suffer from the fact that they are easily attacked and removed but in here if they are attacked I get cards. So this gives me value over time from the walkers and cards if they get attacked. I just figured they were more powerful here than normally.
Back to Basics - it was in my list earlier but I couldn't decide if I had too many nonbasics to get away with it all that well. In the end I cut it because I felt like it would hinder me more than it was worth. I dont see any 5c here and the number of established manabases isnt huge in my meta. I think this gets a lot better if you see more 5c though.
