Just wanted to post this for bookkeeping as I am about to retire this deck. With the dawn of the new bant defender (wall) commander in M19, I would have to dismantle this deck. Its because I don't want my decks to have a theme that's common, and with the new commander, defenders might actually be a common theme in edh decks.
I didn't spend a single penny in building this deck since I never expected this deck to perform well in games, but apparently, it did perform astonishingly well! Its good in applying pressure early in the game since your creatures are unblockable thanks to your commander! However, its got a hard time dealing the last points of damage after a mass removal wipe.
The deck's second strategy is to put up a defense to either protect the "monarchy" mechanic, or to freely activate planeswalkers. I've removed some of the planeswalkers through development since they are hated on the board most of the time.
You'll notice as well that most of my spells (and some creatures) are artifact and enchantment hate cards. This is because I really wanted to create a hate-bear deck which promotes aggro and destroys combo decks which are reliant on artifacts and enchantments.
