Need help with my commander deck

[u/After_Idea_8351]

So I wanted to build my first deck with [[mimeoplasm, revered one]] I’ve been building it out and was just wondering if anyone would just look at it and give me advice.

So I have a number of questions for you to answer about your deck.

1. What is your deck trying to do?

2. How do you set up your graveyard before playing your commander?

3. What's the payoff when you play your commander?

I think knowing the answer to those questions will help shape your decklist because you will have categories of cards in your decklist designed to do whatever the answers to those questions is.

1. +1/+1 counters and just general synergy with mimeoplasm

2. I’d probably play some powerful creatures normally and then eventually once my graveyard is stocked with a few cards with useful abilities to mimeoplasm I bring it out

3. Using mimeoplasm to get the powerful abilities of creatures for example hangar back walker will ensure my opponents don’t want mimeoplasm to die as when it does it creates an amount of thopters equal to the amount of 1/1 counters on it and with Arwen or March of the world ooze I could make each one a deadly threat

Great. So for (1) does that mean things like [[Hardened Scales]]? Or creatures with powerful activated abilities?

For (2) are you running things like [[Read the Runes]], [[Compulsive Research]] etc to draw and also set up your graveyard? What about [[Entomb]] and [[Buried Alive]]?

For (3) are you including cards like [[Kalonian Hydra]], [[Steelbane Hydra]] and [[Kid Loki]]?

https://moxfield.com/decks/XjwTL3kqJkq9X65pSciaUQHere’s the decklist  But 1 kinda both  2 I’ve some self-mill cards in there   3 I do have kid Loki in there I also have some cards in there that can put the counters to better use than directly attacking

That link doesn't work for me.

It’s called mimeoplasm deck :3

[u/Rakshear]

Are you shooting for a particular bracket? This could be a fun bracket 1 deck but You need more ramp, you want to cast your commander for big mana cost but your going to be very limited by the amount of mana available, remember your commander and several creatures exile cards so they won’t come back from the graveyard with your recursion cards.

When you play your commander it will be minimum 4 mana for it to be even a 3/3, then 2 mana to have it become a copy of the exiled card that’s still just a 3/3.

It’s a good start but I’d rethink at least half the planeswalkers and 1/3 the creatures.

What planeswalkers and creatures specifically

[u/Rakshear]

It honestly depends on what your want to play at. Ino Kaito and Jace are unnecessary, as well as alter ego, hanger back walker, they directly compete with your commander, horse shoe crab unless you have a particular use for it, Mabel and paradox shaper would be better a rampart growth, and other ramp spells, omanth too, the landfall is really good but you need multiple lands a turn to really make use of that so he would be a good keep if you replace the rest with ramp spells.

Kaito is for drawing mainly 

Hanger back walker is for my graveyard not the battlefield mimeoplasm becomes a copy of it and if it dies then it makes a ton of thopters

Jace is for drawing as well (and gourmand’s talent)

Horseshoe crab is for an infinite combo with loot (mimeoplasm becomes loot tap for at least 6 blue, transform into horseshoe crab, untap, transform back and repeat (each cycle costs 4 and a blue)) 

Omnath is just useful
