TL;DR: Shove good but worse cards on my opponents while I mana/card ramp w/ extra phases; commander TDB
I've been playing with my local group several weeks in a row and pre-cons are getting stale. They say they've got a few good decks and that one strong deck but nothing too OP. I'd like to be able to keep up with but not dominate a table with their "strong" decks. Mid-High power
Commander: Maybe [[Esika, God of the Tree // The Prismatic Bridge]] for mana ramp and 5 color (see "Problem(s)" below). TBH I'm at a loss. The "right" answer is [[Zedruu the Greathearted]] but cutting black seemed to handicap the theme.
Deck Inspiration/Theme: The original inspiration is from wanting to cast [[Nine Lives]], let someone ping it down, and then give it back right before it goes off and make it their problem to deal with. [[Greed's Gambit]] + [[ Harmless Offering ]] is the ideal power level I'm looking for out of this deck; I get some good, they get some (but probably not much) bad. It's a little more mean than I'd like but it's not too OP and it could be MUCH worse. Ideally the gifts would be either good for everybody but a little better for me or both good and bad but a little worse than better. I avoided tutors because I don't want to make the deck too OP but I leaned into mana ramp, card draw, and extra phases/turns. Aside from the obvious, extra phases/turns also helps moving some pieces to opponents. I don't want this deck to be petty or really grief other players. I still want everyone to have a chance to do their things (mostly) and have fun.
I know it's trying to do too much, there's probably good/better cards I missed, the mana base still needs built and selecting the commander first. I don't have any budget/brew restrictions aside from power level and theme.
Looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with!

: Add one mana of any color.
