Big ugly monsters like Akroma (either version), which are just a pile of good abilities are usually the first to go. After that I usually get rid of powerful but boring spells (I rarely play wrath, day of judgement, or damnation because they're just not interesting). If a card doesn't do something you can't find on other cards I cut it. I also cut eldrazi and the colossi (blight and dark steel) because there's not reason to play colorless cards in commander unless they're on theme.

It really forces you to get creative and keeps you away from your staple card choices. It was refreshing for me to build my 5color all gold deck since I didn't have access to my usual card choices.
