Commander Superfriends and no {Conflux}? It's what other tutors look at in envy...

If your commander is Mayael, you want her ability to hit something awesome, every time.

With your token theme, I'd suggest {Living Hive}, {Godsire}, and {Giant Adephage}. Also, I find {Spellbreaker Behemoth} to be absolutely essential in this kind of deck. Gotta' get your guys on the battlefield before they can swing.

One of my personal pet peeves is {Terastodon}, especially against reanimator. He's an elephant gun in every sense of the word, and I am NEVER happy to see him.

Go take your herd someplace else...

I'm surprised no one has said Zaxbys! Their fries and special sauce are so good. I've been to the one in Columbia, TN and the one here :)

Oh elf yes! Zaxby's in general is so good. I found one 45 minutes from my house once on accident and got so excited. I didn't know they existed down here. I've only ever seen them in South/North Carolina.

If your a Carolina person, Bojangles used to have some pretty good fries. Haven't seen one since the mid '90s but they were delicious

My wife's family is from NC. Went there a few years ago to the reservation her mom is from and tried Zaxby's for the first time. Never tried Bojangles.

Never tried Bojangles?!?! C'mon down here to Virginia, and I'll give you an experience you won't soon forget.

If you're not looking to build a standard legal deck, then may I recommend {Electrolyze}, {Prophetic Bolt}, or {Epic Experiment} for flavor's sake? Also {Swerve}, a personal favorite with random, surprising utility.

I hear Omnath and immediately think {Genesis Wave}. All that mana now has a place to go. And if you're lucky enough to hit {Craterhoof Behemoth} and some other fatties? GG my friend. GG.

Also, you may want more protection for Omnath along with your {Asceticism}. {Lightning Greaves} or {Swiftfoot Boots} perhaps?

After your game, match, FNM, whatever, pick one thing to focus on improving next time you sit down to play. I've found having specific goals for myself can be quite rewarding and stimulate regular progress.

Personally, I believe part of this issue has to do with the reason the Reserve List was established. Power levels aside, the List serves to separate the casual to semi-competitive players from the committed devotees. To obtain all of the Power 9 for example requires you to put Magic high on your priority list, financially and mentally. This lets an event like a Vintage tourney or convention cater to the needs of these people, an acknowledgment of their effort. To reprint the Power 9, while us economically challenged people would love the chance to play with {Black Lotus}, allows anybody into this level of Magic's social structure for $59.99 (or whatever they'd charge) where they may or may not fit in. The originals are still originals, but when everyone has one, they're still not quite as special. And there may be some serious resentment towards this from the 1995 Alpha veterans.

{Strionic Resonator} + {Fireshrieker}
Both let you take more turns with Medomai.

I like it. What to take out for it though.

Maybe {Grappling Hook} and {Champion's Helm}? I'd recommend the former because I'm not sure how often you'll WANT your opponent blocking Medomai (or another evasive creature) and the latter because you already have both boots and a suite of swords for protection.

{Adarkar Valkyrie} + {Extractor Demon} + {Breaching Hippocamp} + Free sac outlet

Tap {Adarkar Valkyrie}, targeting the Hippocamp. Then sacrifice him to the outlet of your choice. {Extractor Demon} triggers, then {Breaching Hippocamp} returns, untapping the Valkyrie. Rinse and repeat for insta-mill and a very, very dead Horse Fish.

1. The flavor on this is beautiful since slaying the hippocamp was supposed to give you god-killing powers.

2. You could also use {Blood Artist} instead of {Extractor Demon}.

Really? I had no idea about the Hippocamp. That's actually really cool (more so 'cause it was unintentional :P)

And you're right, {Blood Artist} could be used to make the combo cheaper and more efficient, but I figured the Hippocamp deserved something special.

{Adarkar Valkyrie} + {Extractor Demon} + {Breaching Hippocamp} + Free sac outlet

Tap {Adarkar Valkyrie}, targeting the Hippocamp. Then sacrifice him to the outlet of your choice. {Extractor Demon} triggers, then {Breaching Hippocamp} returns, untapping the Valkyrie. Rinse and repeat for insta-mill and a very, very dead Horse Fish.

Perhaps something like {Black Sun's Zenith} or {Chain Reaction} to replace {Infest}?

Also, {Forced Fruition} and {Otherworld Atlas} work well with your Nekusar's "draw = pain" ability.

For some token variety, you could add {Skirsdag High Priest} and/or {Chancellor of the Forge}. But they'd only be alternatives to something you already have (i.e. {Hornet Queen}).

Also, for another free sac outlet with a plus, there's {Spawning Pit}. More food to appease the dreadful Prossh!

Happy Thanksgiving guys! Be grateful, enjoy the company of others, and roast that turkey!

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a German chocolate pie to make...

Talk about a broken card in edh...
