I've been wanting to make a new mardu/dega deck for some time, and after seeing the volume of legendary Dragon commanders I'm running, decided to re-sleeve Oros, the Avenger for my new build (up to 7x edh decks piloted by dragons ).
This deck is built around warp world. My original idea was to try and figure the statistics and required/approximate number of permanents it would take to resolve warp world, pick it up with some sort of eternal witness/anarchist effect, and continue casting it over and over again, using etb+token cards (such as siege-gang commander) to eventually put my entire deck into play, and use some haste effect or Purphoros, God of the Forge to win.
So the original idea was to resolve warp world and get enough permanents that etb-create-permenants that I could hopefully (somehow) pick up warp world and do it again, and again, and again. That original goal is somewhat odd, since with just 1x recursion effect, I would need 50x permanents just to have a 50% chance to pick up warp world again. Seems fun to consider, but not very likely to happen. I may re-tool this to a different color combination later.
Here are some cards I've been considering or have recently cut;

I ended up choosing to make a token style deck, but picking mardu/dega as the color combination instead of the likely superior naya colors. That would mean I'd be ignoring green (no greenwarden of murasa/eternal witness), in favor of black to help tutor up the deck's focal spell (rune-scarred demon/sidisi, undead vizier/demonic tutor). This also means I can run vampiric tutor to help entreat the angels.
