Bubbling Muck has definitely been thrown in and out. I want to put Gate to Phyrexia in,but I don't seem to have a lot of creatures at one time with this deck. It's been tough to get the devotion to de-swamp a land for Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx.
Things got really bad for my playgroup when we played Legacy regularly.
What we did was start splitting our decks into "casual" or "competitive" categories.
Then, before the game we'd take a quick second to decide which type to play.
Everyone decided decks accordingly. Things went pretty well and ended up choosing casual more often.
It let everyone try all their decks without getting blown out on turn 2 or 3.
Is it possible to change the name of my signature from "LosT PropheT" to "Rezin?"
This signature is the only thing that keeps me from logging into a username that googles baby raper. I'd like to get a new username.

I've played with Daxos of Meletis a bit. I wouldn't expect anything much out of his triggered ability except lands. It seems so good on paper. I keep him in my Oloro, Ageless Ascetic deck just because he fits the curve well and gains life which trips combos/cards. But, everytime I play him it's like a cruel joke.
Why not try out the new Zurgo Helmsmasher?? He's new, exciting and the color combo isn't seen much besides Kaalia of the Vast. He is a great voltron and with R and W, it's easy to recur your artifacts. With B it's easy to draw cards.
Uril, the Miststalker is obviously a very good voltron. He's pretty common though, well documented and likes to try eyes. He's good at what he does though.
Ran some more playtesting. I ended up taking out Call to the Grave and The Abyss. For reason stated and the hate they draw. They annoyed me, they annoyed my opponents, they drew attention and ultimately didn't do enough work to justify price tag. I'm hesitant to take out Obelisk of Urd and Door of Destinies though. Despite the amount of lords in the deck, either of these on the board seem to provide the exponential gain enough tip the scale toward alpha swing. Coat of Arms is a little dangerous with the even higher popularity swing of Slivers. But, still more than enough to justify a 99 spot.
Rings of Brighthearth was always finding a way in; I just needed to find out which cards weren't pulling weight so I knew what to take out for it. I also added Staff of Domination. Untaps my commander for 2nd use and draws cards without the typical black life loss. Great multi-use tool.
I already have a good amount of experience with Endless Ranks of the Dead actually. I have a copy in my Zombie Horde format deck. The whole point of the format is to flood the board with zombies obviously and despite that it just doesn't help out with that many zombies. The zombies are free and seem plentiful on the surface. But believe it or not, not worth a spot.
Grafted Wargear seems like a lot of value. I think I'll give it a go to see what it looks like in action. Wall of Blood isn't bad, but I don't like having to pay a life per zombie when I'm paying life for graveyard recursion, card draw and I'm already generating steady zombies (hopefully) Genju of the Fens seems awfully mana intensive even late game. But, if someone runs it, I'd like to hear how it plays.
Thank you very much for your feedback. Great suggestions.
It works wonders in my Jhoira of the Ghitu deck. It cant just be thrown down without caution; it takes a bit of timing or else it does more bad than good. It's explosive and ends the game, namely in combination with Omniscience. But I had to include stifle after a bit because people liked to save acidic slimes for me after a couple games.
I had it in there during my initial comb over. I took it out to try to keep the mana curve somewhat negligible.
But, I may remove Drakestown Forgotten for it. I never seem to want to see it. Even in late game.
Yeah, I get it. She has to go an entire turn around to profit. She's not Zur the Enchanter or Arcum Dagsson. I really want to play the deck anyway and have some fun building a zombie horde. This is obviously a casual commander, so I'd prefer to keep infinites out of it. So, I realize there is no Phyrexian Altar or Thornbite Staff. This is a rough draft, so any help would be appreciated. I think not being he strongest commander for most games with let her fly under the radar and steal some wins.
Thanks for the feedback!

Could really use some ideas on a coulple relevant mid-range creatures.
