Every other set has a 5-6 CMC card that allows a player to draw cards based on the greatest power among creatures they control. You can see where this is going. With enough volume of such effects, we can use our commander as an enabler to churn through the deck. The power of drawing 18 cards in one burst cannot be understated in an EDH game.

This not only diluted my creature pool with bad cards, but also required more pieces to put a win together. After much trial and error have come to the conclusion that having the sac fodder in the command zone is the best thing for this sort of deck, especially as WOTC prints more creatures with the same effect as Shadowheart, Afterall, there is a reason our commander is Yargle and Multani.
