A dream within a dream, within a dream, this is what this deck accomplishes, even if at the end of the game I lost (which is usually the case), if my deck had done it's thing, then I'm happy.
The deck is entirely focused on tutoring and recurring shahrazad, and then wishing it from a former game within a subgame in order to go deeper into the dream. Once back into the main game (or an earlier subgame), I just keep going back down to a lower level. My general used to be Progenitus as I find him to be cooler (I rarely cast my general), but as I only have one copy of Progenitus, and it's in my Legacy deck, my general is Child of Alara.
A cool thing about Shahrazad: when we go into a subgame, the general remains in the command zone of the first game and is, alas, unusable in the subgame. An exception, however, if your general is in your deck when you would begin a subgame you take your general from your deck and put it into the command zone of the new game.
I'm still a lot of cards to complete the deck, like Grim Tutor, Imperial Seal, or Dual lands, but it's the best I can do ATM. (Also the local store I play at doesn't have any Restocks T.T)

714.2c As a subgame of a Commander game starts, each player moves his or her commander from the main-game command zone (if it's there) to the subgame command zone.
Your analysis is incorrect; The General will move command zones, if it is there. If it's in the Library, it stays in the Library for the Sub Game, if it's in play/graveyard/exiled, it stays where it is in the Main Game.
7/15/2007: At the end of a subgame, each player puts all cards he or she owns that are in the subgame into his or her library in the main game, then shuffles them. This includes cards in the subgame's Exile zone (this is a change from previous rulings).
714.5c At the end of a subgame of a Commander game, each player moves his or her commander from the subgame command zone (if it's there) to the main-game command zone.
If the general is in the Command Zone at the end of a sub game, it moves up to the command zone in the higher game, if it is anywhere else, like say, in play beating you up, it gets shuffled back into its owners library at the end.
I am kind of amazed at [...] the fact that somebody on this thread called Mind's Eye, Mirari's Wake, Decree of Pain, Desertion, AND Scroll Rack, all before they were officially spoiled. I will edit this post VERY shortly with the username of this user who deserves at least all of the cookies. Probably more cookies than that.
EDIT: Robert, you win so many cookies.

If anyone could give me suggestions for cards that are kind of like, off the radar that I'm missing I'd really appreciate it ^^.
Also oops, added an extra h to 'shahraz'H'ad"

Because White needed another Tuck Effect.
