-Your general may be any creature, including nonlegendary ones. You may have any number of copies of that creature in your deck, just like Relentless Rats.
-All other cards besides your general and basic lands are restricted to one copy.
-Format follows the EDH banlist with one addition: all Lobotomy effects are banned. Slaughter Games, Surgical Extraction, etc.
-The general does not interact with the command zone like in EDH.
-Format follows all other EDH rules
What do you think? What decks would be strong?

These days, some wizards are finding they have a little too much deck left at the end of their $$$.

This seems like fun. It should be called Hoardes EDH though, due to all the copies your going to have of a single card. This could make tribal decks pretty fun (and ridiculous.)
Seems like a great idea, specially since it gets along to debating how much of one creature is actually enough and whether you should be dedicating more space to spells or whatever. I'd assume anything that is free or recursive, or both, can be incredibly dangerous. 20 copies of Bloodghasts, Street Wraiths or Vengevines can get silly really quickly, so I would watch out for those.
I'd probably play either Faerie Miscreants, Cloud of Faeries or Noble Hierarch as my helm. The latter feels specially fun, since you get to build a voltron except your generals are just cheering from the sidelines instead of beating face
Korlash, Heir to Blackblade ramping out a ton of swamps. You can build a combo deck around it filled with all the cheap black card draw and mass life drain like Exsanguinate.
30 Soul Warden makes for a busted blink / Soul Sisters deck.
With enough copies of Stinkweed Imp you can build monoblack Highlander Dredge filled with recursive dorks and graveyard tricks.
You should either start at less than 30 life or ban Serra Ascendant, since playing 1 on turn 1 AND 2 on turn 2 seems like no fun.
While this is a cool concept, I suspect the format is too prone to people trying to break it. Many creatures in Magic were printed to be balanced only if you can run at most 4 copies per deck, and no functional reprints exist for a reason.

The format is based on the concept of Relentless Rats.

As for Hierach, I agree it would be hilarious to have them just cheer on the big fatty you drop next to them.

For example, playing against a deck with 30 Spellstutter Sprite doesn't seem like a lot of fun. The same could be said about Vryn Wingmare.
UBRKess, Dissident MageUBR - Controlling Dissidents
GRhonas the IndomitableG - Indomitable Four Drops
WUBOloro, Ageless AsceticWUB - Loot & Renanimate
There are many degenerate choices:
Korlash, Heir to Blackblade ramping out a ton of swamps. You can build a combo deck around it filled with all the cheap black card draw and mass life drain like Exsanguinate.
40 Squadron Hawk + Scroll Rack for INSANE CARD ADVANTAGE
Priest of Titania and Overgrown Battlement grow exponentially. You quickly get into degenerate combo mana territory.
Survival of the Fittest + 20 Vengevine can get out of hand quickly
30 Soul Warden makes for a busted blink / Soul Sisters deck.
With enough copies of Stinkweed Imp you can build monoblack Highlander Dredge filled with recursive dorks and graveyard tricks.
