I've loved this legendary creature for a long long time and was just curious if any other people have designed decks around her. I plan to utilize her as a general for one of my EDH decks (even though she isn't an amazing creature anymore and definately not particularly one for this format) and this is what i've come up with so far.
Very simply it would ultimately play like an MBC deck with a couple added bonuses to it. I felt this was the best style to run with considering her pay 2 life: return her to hand ability is really all she has running for her so having her duck out of board wipes will simply help me to avoid the "general tax" while hopefully allowing her to swing more freely over any opposition for general damage.
Another choice i made with the deck list was to essentially make it full MBC with a few nonbasics that can pump out white as an option... this was even if she as a general doesn't wind up being very playable in any particular game for any particular reason im still free to let the deck win itself.
Really looking for suggestions//discussion as even if she ends up being my more casual EDH deck i really would like to flaunt her around a bit and try to make it as effective as possible.
correct me if im wrong, but it says that anytime a land would produce a color other than the colors in the general they produce a colorless instead. thus with selenia, dark angel as the general, arcane sanctum produces W,B,1 and considering how rare enemy dual lands are i'll take anything i can get.
Hell im tempted to take murmuring bosk as a secondary pain land that taps for 1 or taps for W orBdealing 1 damage to myself

Well technically if a symbol even appears anywhere in the rules text you cannot include the card in the deck. You could use Gemstone Mine for example since it has no symbols but the other cards are illegal. Kind of silly but that is how the ruling works.
well that sucks as it significantly reduces the possible lands available to produce black and white... any other suggestions land wise? i would so prefer to have close to 10 lands or so that COULD produce a white if needed but ultimately produce black.

You've got just about everything. If you're really desperate you could go with Grand Coliseum, Vivid Meadow & Reflecting Pool. None of them are great options though.

Looking for Karakas, Wasteland, Rishadan Port, Aether Vials and more
are there any other cards that would go well in the deck? Perhaps cards that should be removed from the deck?
