You can choose weather or not you want your commander to ever go to the graveyard. Therefor, if you choose to put him back to the command zone. It never touched the graveyard.

I thought so.  Seems like sort of a drawback for {Child of Alara} then, doesn't it?  I guess it lets you decide if you want to blow up the board or not...

Well. Flicker could work. Whipe the board. Bring crazy stuff out. Child is still out. Blast them. Whipe the board. Rinse and repeat.

I've managed to build a 5 colour EDH, and in hindsight, you'd probably have better luck keeping it simple. Like kavu's, atog's, myr, and slivers. The combos are effective, numerous and cheap and you can still include your reanimate ideas. Ultimately, you can ruin a deck by making it too complex. Simple and effective is tough to beat.

Wow. No slivers or atogs. Horrible idea.
