Didn't add lands yet...
Oppinions please?

Most commander decks have 43-44 lands and you only have room for 40

Yeah I know. I always seem to draw to many mana so I cut a few.

{mountain}, {swamp}... ;)

There are so many options for land... Apart from the dual-color mana fixers, like {Dragonskull Summit} and the Ravnica bounce land, there's a lot to sift through. There are also staples like {command tower} and {rupture spire}. {Reliquary tower} if you have a lot of card draw.

I like the Lorwyn "Hideaway" lands in commander. There's one for each color, each with its own unique trigger. I don't remember any names other than the red one, {Spinerock Knoll}, but look up hideaway under text to look at the others. They are fun.

There is a set of old lands like {Dormant Volcano} that are good in commander too, that give you extra mana at the cost of bouncing a basic.

And it's good to look for old lands that have the same effect as a basic land with a minor alternate benefit, like {Hammerheim} or {Moonring Island} - doesn't enter tapped, makes mana as normal, and gives you a little effect option for shiggles.

Good idea. Do some playtests and work out the kinks

I have been testing. So far I have removed {Undying Evil} for {Blood Seeker}

Yeah I'm using all of the super expensive dual lands (proxy) and a {Dragonskull Sumit} (real)   
So far its really fun. My fav card in the deck is {No Mercy}. That card just stops my opponents dead in their tracks.

I would go with just 40 lands, I normally run about 38 in an EDH, unless I have mana pumpers or ramp. Then it's about 35.

Yeah same for me.

This looks like a fairly cheap deck, do you mind I I build it and try it out. Seems kind of fun.

Anyway, give it a go but please tell me how it did.

How did it do?
And if anyone ha any more ideas please share.
