So as everyone knows the only Rakdos commander is Rakdos the Defiler, sadly he forces you to sac permanents.
The solution is easy first Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth or Blanket of Night to make all you lands swamps, then Kormus Bell makes all lands creatures. When paired with Conspiracy you don't sac lands or creatures. Now the easy part is over, but you have to protect the artifact and enchantment.
So my question is the interplay of countering the Eye of the Storm copied spell would trigger Guile to cast the spell for free or if something stops it.
Anyways, I believe if I gain control of someones commander, activated Dominating Licid effects then use Willbender flip effect I can redirect the ability of Dominating Licid onto another creature, namely the enemy commander, however, this posses two serious questions, question one is will I need to take control of the enemy commander or will this trigger as an opponent ability as it's an ability triggered on an opponents monster, second is if I have the enemy commander the enchantment to control would drop, so where does that leave the ability trigger, finally if it all works I can attach the commander to a token and Vanishing it out of the game.
The only reason I'm not sure is that Dominating Licid says "losses his ability" so would it still be lost or not also is that an activation trigger, according to 602.1b the activation trigger comes after so in order for the loss of ability it would mean that the second parts need to trigger meaning the creatures moves onto another monster. So then does it just drops off as the first part never triggers causing it to not turn into an aura enchantment. Or does it all trigger at once and since it specifies the monsters name it trigger normally.
Sorry if this is a simple question but I spent a couple hours looking things up and couldn't find anything.
[commander 2107] 1,000 apologies I made you read this fat block of text then realized a trivial thing. As of commander 2017 phasing doesn’t cause tokens to cease to exist as a state based action so my idea is busted I’m terribly sorry.

This relies on mana Xenic Poltergeist and Liquimetal Coating. Liquimetal Coating lets you turn the enchantments into artifacts and Xenic Poltergeist taps to turn one artifact into a creature. To speed it along and untapped you can go Umbral Mantle and Illusionist's Bracers.
At this point thought it's getting excessive and I would probably need to Cloudstone Curio, Priest of Gix, Priest of Urabrask and Panharmonicon to go infinite then Diabolic Revelation to get all the cards and at that point I might as well as hit with a crazy Fireball.
Any ideas on how to stream line the Xenic Poltergeist or a better solution. Thanks in advance!
Guile , Eye of the Storm , Day's Undoing , Brain Freeze , and Hindering Touch , or Flusterstorm
So first I play Guile then Eye of the Storm then play Day's Undoing. Those start the madness combo, next I cast Hindering Touch or Flusterstorm and counter a one of them with a copy, then Guile effect should trigger and I cast Hindering Touch or Flusterstorm again then Eye of the Storm will exile it and I cast all the spells including Day's Undoing this lets me get down to Hindering Touch and mill out a library. Of course i would throw in Temporal Fissure so they had no field and couldn't copy my combo.
So my question is the interplay of countering the Eye of the Storm copied spell would trigger Guile to cast the spell for free or if something stops it.
Thanks for taking the time to read this post.
I recently got back into commander and was looking for a way to remove commanders from the game.
Then I came stumbled upon Dominating Licid , Willbender , and Vanishing I'll look really stupid if those links don't work.
