I want to make something really strong since the commander decks at my lgs are pretty competitive.

First thought was {memnarch}

I agree with narc as commander. That way, you can still use blue

Blue so good. I had a memnarch list but it never got built. Maybe now is a good time.

{Kozilek, Butcher of Truth}.

So much fun. Making the entire pod scoop turn 2 to a hasty, hexproof Kozilek is so much fun I giggled.

Also a good idea. I think I'll go with kozilek actually

I'm definitely missing something, what enables this?

What about  {Muzzio, Visionary Architect}, if you want to keep it colorless  {Karn, Silver Golem} is something, but I don't like him.

T2 land, tap worker, revel 6 artifacts, cast Kozilek, draw {Swiftfoot Boots}, cast boots, equip boots.

No, it's not.
Slight correction - the second land was in the Kozilek draw. Had to have been - sorry for that.

7 to start, 1 to draw 1st turn.
1 to draw second turn, 4 from Kozilek. So that's 13. How's that impossible again?

Sure - unlikely as hell. It'll literally never happen again. But please don't call me a liar.

Making kozilek for sure! Want to t2 that sob

Any recommendations for cards? Things that need to be in the list?

Tron lands, since you'll be running full colorless.
And definitely Ugin.
{Tomb of the Spirit Dragon},  {Haven of the Spirit Dragon} Too

Ugin, Karn, as many mana rocks as you can get - I average turn 4 or 5 getting him out.
Tron Lands are a no. There aren't enough ways to tutor them out so they end up being just boring 1 mana lands.
There are so many colorless utility lands it's a waste of space to run the Tron lands.

I'll post my deck today to give you some ideas.

 {Ugin's Nexus} +  {Trading Post}

Ulamog doesn't seem bad either. It {Vindicates} when it etbs, he's indestructible and he's got an FTV foiling

If ulamog dies, like exile or is countered, I'm left with an empty hand, while even if kozilek gets countered I still draw four cards.

Run Ulamog in the deck. Just not as the commander.

Yep
