MTG Salvation

Almost all Wrexiel deck I found during playing and listed in some sites have a mill component. I love this General but mill effects are very hated in my playing group. So I decide to find a way to play Wrexiel as Commander without use these kind of effects.
The strategy of the deck is really simple:

• In early part of games Wrexiel use its ramp and its recursion to increase mana available in order to cast Wrexiel as soon as possible. Then use Wrexiel to reuse opponents ramp, tutor or other spells from opponents graveyard to increase available mana again.
• In mid game Wrexiel use it's powerful removal to stop other decks races and other resources to have advantage of mana and/or cards and/or creatures.
• In the late game Wrexiel use one of the most sinergies between cards to win.

After firsts test this is my first draft list:


About unusual cards you can find in this deck:

• Vedalken Plotter: This card is normally used in Zedruu the Greathearted decks. In this deck is only a way to improve walk abilities of Wrexiel overall in firsts turns of game. With Whirler Rogue, Thassa, God of The Sea, and Shizo, Death's Storehouse, help Wrexiel to avoid blocks and reuse instants and sorceries of opponents.
• Lim-Dûl's Vault: I want to test this old card as a tutor, with the right luck it can be very useful.

I use Rite of Replication and Deadeye Navigator, with some other cards to try to win a game kill all opponents, or many of they, at the same time. All cards choosen for this aim are useful also in many other situation in order to never have dead cards in hand.

• Deadeye Navigator + Puppeteer Clique: Remove creatures from opponent graveyard and permit to block and attack. In late game permit to win
• Deadeye Navigator + Palinchron: Infinite mana also in opponents turns.
• Deadeye Navigator + Gray Merchant of Asphodel: With devotion four need twenty mana to kill all but in middle and late game there's a chance to kill someone with ten mana
• Deadeye Navigator + Gulf Squid: Permit to lock the table, but this is not mainly use in my head. I want to use it to lock mana of my opponents before my turn in order to have near free hand to win
• Deadeye Navigator + Whirler Rogue: Permit to have a great number of flying creature, in many cases useful to kill one opponents
• Rite of Replication + Palinchron: Permit to have at least 35 mana, useful to win with Exanguinate
• Rite of Replication + Kokusho, the Evening Star: Permit to have 25 damage to each opponent and 25 life gain for each opponent. On late game permit to win or kill a good number of opponents.
• Rite of Replication + Gray Merchant of Asphodel: Permit to have at least 60 damage for each opponent and 60 life gain for each opponent, normally a win condition.

Non win condition but really useful use of cards:

• Deadeye Navigator + Archaeomancer: Permit a great recursion with couterspells and removal and some way to win
• Deadeye Navigator + Overseer of the Damned: Permit to destroy all non-hexproof non-shroud creature give you a 2/2 zombie for each creature destroyed in this way
• Deadeye Navigator + Solemn Simulacrum: Permit get many basic lands from deck and improve mana to achieve victory
• Rite of Replication + Overseer of the Damned: Permit to destroy up to five creatures give you a 6 2/2 zombie for each destroyed creature.

Thanks in advance for any kind of feedback you want to give me about this deck.

Ohhh, I get it, "Wrexiel de La Mancha: No Mill Allowed," like don Quixote de la Mancha fighting windmills, right? Right? Is that it? That's all I got.

Regarding Dragonlord's Prerogative it looks like you only have one dragon creature in your whole deck (Kokusho) so you can't even get the bonus with it, and it's really overpriced for what it does. You could do well with cheaper draw, like Tidings, Fact or Fiction, or even Mystic Remora, which if you play it early (T1-4) it can draw you a LOT of cards before you have to sacrifice it simply because no one will be able to or want to pay the 4 to stop it.

Yes you are right The Black and Blue hero fight against windmills but, as you can see on the Wrexiel draw representation, he eaten Sancho Panza and from a 4/4 become a 5/8.

I love Fact or Fiction and you are right in this deck can be more useful than Dragonlord's Prerogative. I've recursion to get back creatures in my graveyard. Tidings?! It's a sorcery! Opportunity is an instant!
