Sorry I didn't notice this comment sooner, I've been out in New Mexico this past week. I certainly agree that evasion/survivability paired with fat is better than twice the fat, but as you noted the deck is powerful anyway, and I was trying to get in touch with what brought me into Magic. Who needs good cards when you have Krosan Groundshaker, Thorn Elemental, Krosan Cloudscraper, and Hundroog? That said, depending on how powerful you want the deck to be, the ideas you've presented certainly can lead to crazy plays, and Sisters of Stone Death could always do with some supplemental Gorgon damage.

You could, for example, make Mimeoplasm a Spinebiter with 7 +1/+1 counters on it. If you just wanted it to live, make it a Silhana Ledgewalker. There are tons of creatures with great protection or evasion that look a whole lot better with counters and Commanderness. My current favorite though is Masked Gorgon, since where else are you going to play it? A 5/5 Commander with protection from green and white seems awesome. And it's Gorgon damage! But I digress, even before I started the comment.

As to how the build turned out, this certainly isn't where my decks normally end up, but it should be a refreshing change of pace, and I'm glad to hear that a similar method is working for you.

You're entirely correct on Troll and lftl; sometimes things just slip through the cracks and both of these cards certainly warrant slots in the deck. I've been thinking about cutting all of the shuffling effects altogether so that the deck can be really relaxing to play, though many of the better ramp spells will be missed, so I'll be adding a lot of cards and have to reevaluate if lftl is good enough sans fetches (i.e. do I have space for cycling lands). Thanks for the feedback.

In a fairly competitive playgroup this might work out, but as Mr Barrel Roll pointed out, it would probably rub most Commander players the wrong way.

Play him exiling anything with infect and any big dude from any graveyard, for a possible two hit or even one hit kill. And then lose all of your friends. Something like that.

Maybe your idea is better after all.
