My current build I want to do is [[Atraxa, Voice]] as a big bad villain of the table that has to be dealt with otherwise people die to infect
Higher end bracket 3, maybe bracket 4 so that it can hopefully stand it's own against a full table who knows I'm the problem, but still get the occasional win

My current idea is pillow fort for maximum collusion from other players, something along the lines of: the green player has to destroy my defensive enchantments and then the red player has to swing hard and fast into me to take me out before they all die to infect, the blue player has to counterspell my problematic poison spells, etc
Turn the game into a boss fight with a timer
But no stax, we don't want to stop them from beating the boss
If you have any cool cards that could work with this let me know and I'll share the decklist once I build it

I would like to put in a suggestion
So you see to become public enemy number 1 you can never go wrong with [[grand arbiter]]

White spells you cast cost 
less to cast.
Blue spells you cast cost less to cast.
Spells your opponents cast cost more to cast.

Not very appealing personally but I do see the vision
I don't want to do stax villainy, this deck is supposed to be a problem, not mean

Another thing you could build [[rakdos patron]] and then hide a [[valgavoth harrower]] as a second phase boss

[[Rakdos, Lord of Riots]]

You can't cast Rakdos unless an opponent lost life this turn.

I do like Rakdos riots but he's not really the theme I'm going for with Atraxa

[[Kardur, Doomscourge]]
coral fogBOT
alpine geyser
I'm kinda partial to her for how well she's known for poison, her general negative notoriety, and ||the fact that phyrexians are hot|| that she's still not an INSANE effect
Like proliferate is good but she's not KOS so it's likely the final boss is going to hit the table

[[Vishgraz, the Doomhive]] [[Etali, Primal Conqueror]]
coral fogBOT
Legendary Creature — Elder Dinosaur
Trample
When Etali enters, each player exiles cards from the top of their library until they exile a nonland card. You may cast any number of spells from among the nonland cards exiled this way without paying their mana costs.
: Transform Etali. Activate only as a sorcery.
7/7
Etali, Primal Sickness
Legendary Creature — Phyrexian Elder Dinosaur
Trample, indestructible
Whenever Etali deals combat damage to a player, they get that many poison counters. (A player with ten or more poison counters loses the game.)
The contagion spreads and the Multiverse quakes.
11/11

etali can be made strong but at the same time can be made a raid boss by flipping it

I like the idea of mini bosses
And they're both good candidates but Etali is red
Vishgraz is probably there tho

Enchantment — Aura
Enchant creature card in a graveyard
When this Aura enters, if it's on the battlefield, it loses "enchant creature card in a graveyard" and gains "enchant creature put onto the battlefield with this Aura." Put enchanted creature card onto the battlefield tapped under your control and attach this Aura to it. When this Aura leaves the battlefield, that creature's controller sacrifices it.
Enchanted creature gets +1/+1 and doesn't untap during its controller's untap step.
At the beginning of the upkeep of enchanted creature's controller, that player may pay 
. If the player does, untap that creature.

have blue so you can steal peoples stuff, you can goad if you want, you can make copies of their stuff, can steal stuff from graves
if you plan to use green as ramp or whatever [[Twitching Doll]] and similer green mana dorks exist

Artifact Creature — Spider Toy
: Add one mana of any color. Put a nest counter on this creature.
, Sacrifice this creature: Create a 2/2 green Spider creature token with reach for each counter on this creature. Activate only as a sorcery.

which mana dorks like this seem more villany but the price of power is boardwipes would just remove your progress
https://moxfield.com/decks/Kdei1V_3fky3oyQGZq5Fcg this deck basically has every 2 mana dork in green, under types&tags, some more specific ones in the considering
alpine geyser
So I scrapped Atraxa for now
And I'm gonna build two decks that combine for wubrg
[[Abdel Adrian]]//[Candlekeep Sage]] Blink Combo
[[Henzie Torre]] Graveyard Stompy
coral fogBOT
Legendary Creature — Devil Rogue
Each creature spell you cast with mana value 4 or greater has blitz. The blitz cost is equal to its mana cost. (You may choose to cast that spell for its blitz cost. If you do, it gains haste and "When this creature dies, draw a card." Sacrifice it at the beginning of the next end step.)
Blitz costs you pay cost less for each time you've cast your commander from the command zone this game.
3/3
coral fogBOT
alpine geyser
Probably also something colorless idk
But those two(three) decks will be the ones I bring to the new lgs
Henzie bracket 3 no gc
Abdel Adrian idfk tbh he's still very much work in progress
Staying up way too late on Henzie but I also want input on him(her? if anyone knows henzie gender lmk I can't tell)
Spent like an hour picking mana dorks and now all I need are a couple draw engines
Once I have that I'm gonna just pick my favorite big guys and playtest a bit
If yall could shoot me some draw engines, here's the list right now
https://moxfield.com/decks/pTimb3CeR0KHGShf9okGmQ
Considering is cards I own irl that are in the deck, just separated to check price because it should hopefully be within an actual buyable budget
winter abyss
Generally speaking "dies" triggers are good for henzie, since they can trigger off his blitz but also from just dying normally. [[Solemn Simulacrum]] is ramp 1 draw 2 if blitzed for instance. Otherwise, theres things like [[morbid opportunist]] which can be up to four cards a cycle, certain bigger cards can be cycled early on like [[Ruin Grinder]] if you don't want to blitz them. [[braids arisen]] can sacrifice your blitz creatures before their own trigger resolves for extra removal/card draw, and she can always just gut a land in a pinch.
