I know it's strange to have The Swamp King as commander of a Mostly Blue deck but..there it is I'm curious if you have any ideas on how to make it better. Obviously I could just add more cool creatures as it's creature based (mine and yours). Take out burn? Burn has done me well...sometimes. I'm just curious for your thoughts! Thanks!
I have Blanket of Night but thanks for those other suggestions! I plan on getting an Urborg land as soon as I can (doesn't it bug you that it's not "legendary land - swamp" though!!!!!?!?
Agreed, most Sol'Kanar just begs for black but... again this is how it turned out. There's probably a better Grixis commander though, so maybe I'll end up using Sol'Kanar as Commander for my Zombie deck for whenever that gets made (maybe the new Ob Noxilis deck but...man hard to not use Ob Nixilis as Commander IMO @__@)
I am always thrilled to see another Sol'kanar player. My deck gets by with only Blanket of Night and Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth as its swamp enablers... which helps my minor Hatred and equipment-fueled Voltroning in the deck.
Those are definitely some sweet cards! I do go back and fourth on the temp control though because I would have to add more sac outlets to really benefit from it (at least from the games I've played it didn't pan out so well). Do you have a decklist of yours up?

Still, you are taking a theft approach, so might I suggest some of my favorite theft? Steal Enchantment, Word of Seizing, Blatant Thievery, Molten Primordial, Mass Mutiny, Insurrection, Zealous Conscripts, and Callous Oppressor.
With temporary theft comes sacrificing options. Shivan Harvest is my favorite means to do so, but there are many other options.

At this point, I use Sol'kanar as my fun things deck.
