MTG Commander/EDH General

Run a bunch of cards like aphetto alchemist, tower of the magistrate, unnatural selection, and just take all of the creatures.

>Erratic Portal
Cheeky

I EAT YOUR CREATURES (before damage goes through)
nom nom nom

this little guy ends up in every first draft and rarely gets cut, just too good if your meta is full of mystical/enlightened/worldy/vampiric tutors

Not just to give stuff away, but I love the "can't be sacrificed" clause it gives to some vital creature.

I have a hard time justifying why I shouldn't include pic related in every deck with black. Would totally run it as my commander if it was possible
>dat pauper EDH tho

Thunder Dragon and Thundermaw Hellkite seem very meh. With all the mana your generating Zirilan desperately wants Hoard-smelter Dragon. Furnace Dragon also seems like a confusing inclusion since he doesn't trigger when you tutor him AND he looks like he completely blows your own deck out harder than anyone elses. Hellkite Tyrant is just all around better for artifact hate.
In my experience running Zirilan even with boatloads of mana Hellkite Charger's ability is still too expensive

>Maybeboard
Aether Flash looks redundant since you're already running Thunder Dragon and Thundermaw Hellkite for token sweeping.
Apocalypse looks like the worst possible wrath compared to all the others you run
Why would you run Hand to Hand when you would potentially want to activate Zirilan for a surprise blocker? Ditto for Price of Glory, although I can see that being justified if your group runs a ton of countermagic and removal
>Mudslide
super cool secret tech, but it turns off Zirilan and you are already going to be needing every last drop of mana to activate him
>Power Surge
Not sure what this is supposed to counter, if your opponents really want to kill/counter your shit they'll just do it on their turn now or take the measly 2-4 damage for whatever they're casting
>Repercussion
Seems like it only combos with Thunder Dragon and Thundermaw Hellkite AND we're assuming your opponent is running token swarm. Could also backfire hilariously if any of your opponents drop big flying blockers
>Spellshock
Too little damage unless you really need to stop Enter the Infinite

I'm 5 cards from finnishing my Tazri 5c Allies. I wanted to make something less color heavy (mono or 2-colored) and focused on Mechanic instead of tribal synergies for my next deck. Suggestions?
