    I love how this deck is almost identical to my Ayli the eternal pilgrim deck. I mean aside from a few exceptions like a couple tutors it actually is the same. In fact I could probably take out something and put this commander into my 99 and use it every once in awhile as a secret Commander to throw people off. I think I have like 6 of them after a set box. I don't know if this guy is very interesting addition to the deck but having the option to have these abilities on a commander is undoubtedly powerful and absolutely rounds out the archetype.

    some amazing budget cards you might consider: Shadows of the Past: sac outlets are removal magnets in this deck. Running an enchantment that filters cards for just 2 mana is amazing. Nightmare Shepherd: double up ETBs on all non-token creatures, as well as LTBs is just game-winning with a sac outlet in play.

Bidding continues until no one bids any life. Each player adds a number of 1/1 rats equal to the amount of life they payed."

    To me, blade of selves looks like a must have with this commander. It gives equipped creature myriad. So due to mass etb and death triggers (assuming 2 opponents) And assuming your commander is having tokens made out of it, you will gain 7 life and each opponent will lose 7 life. Off 1 attack trigger.

    Oloro All Removal. Oloro keeps ticking up your life total, while every card is removal of some sort to keep your opponents from winning. I actually have a deck like that, but it wins through a number of large creatures with flying (Angel of Despair, Angel of the Dire Hour, Ashen Rider, Steel Hellkite, etc.). If you wanted to replace them with more board wipes, it would do what you're asking for.
