one of my commander friends is moving to New Zealand and he gave me a {uril, the miststalker} with the message to "carry on the spirit of degenerate bullshit". I can do fair things like {ethereal armor} but I'm more interested in things like {sword of feast and famine} with {aggravated assault}

Guess I should throw in the {rest in peace} {helm of obedience} combo. {berserk} seems good. Can I give him infect?
{grafted exoskeleton}
If berserk: {regeneration}
1. Fast mana, lots and lots of fast mana to power out Uril turn 3
2. .love. blue, play dosan, grand abolisher, cavern of souls, city of solitude, everything to ensure Uril resolves.
3. Unblockable. Who needs interaction? Why let your opponents stop you at all, play spirit mantle, holy mantle, armadillo cloak, and unflinching courage. Also play enlightened and idyllic tutor to get one of these, mainly spirit mantle.
4. Wraths and edicts, the only ways to kill Uril. Gaddock teeg stops wraths alongside shield of the oversoul. Edicts can be stopped with Sigarda (who can be a back up win condition in case of nevermore or similar effects). You can also play some random utility creatures alongside GSZ worldly tutor and eladamri's call so when people cast edicts you can Sacrifice reclamation sage or something. Also, totem armor things like hyena umbra and bear umbra
5. Being able to remove stuff. This is entirely dependent on your meta but i can't recommend more than 5-6 pieces of removal so that it doesn't clog your hand, you're trying to be proactive not reactive.
Hope this helps!
Give him {Berserk}, equip him with {Grafted Exoskeleton}, then {Chandra's Ignition}... Yeah, totally one-sided there...

Does {shaman of forgotten ways} plus {destroy all non enchanted creatures} seem degenerate enough? ;)
{Winds of Rath}! Or just totem armor on your enchants with {Umbra Mystic} and good old {wrath of God}.
How about {rings of brighthearth}, to combo with your basalt and grim monoliths?

Only profits mana on Basalt - Grim just gets infinite untaps with no mana profit.

Nice combo with {wake trasher} but not for this deck.

Infinite mana is good in a combo deck

Infinite mana is great. I was referring to the infinite tap/untap without profit of grim with rings. {power artifact} will work for grim though.
EDIT: nvm. {U} no go in this one.
Uril is so boring
Contributing to idea of fun factor. Stale deck is stale. Don't you want to have fun with commander?
Actually, building as degenerate as possible can be fun. I'm not too sure if you're gonna play it that much though.
It can really become an arms race too.
They bring Uril, we bring Animar. They bring Animar, we bring Dagsson...
