The deck philosophy that you have is awesome. I come from a tournament background, mainly modern a few years back, and have struggled quite a bit on building decks that I enjoy, that doesn't absolutely curbstomp my opponents. Either that or they end up fragmented as I remove synergy pieces that end up too powerful. Interested what sort of take would you have for a Rubinia Soulsinger list? I have a pod list at the moment, but it's hard to find the happy medium between stax/combo/value/durdle and do nothing with a huge advantage. Granted the strategy is mean at its core considering the main idea is to steal everything and sac for value xD Restoration angel is my favorite card, so blink effects are very welcome and tend to work with pod anyways.
You could be very silly and go for an Exalted build. Use Rubinia to steal someone's best creature and beat everyone else to death with it. Run a bunch of Exalted creatures, hate bears, and counter magic to help protect your board.
@commanderbydaenen thats certainly an interesting way to go about it lol. I am a big fan of sublime archangel, and there's certainly a good amount of ways to spit bodies on the board. I'll have to noodle that around. Thanks!
War Room is a good option too for a land + card advantage if you have it.
Hierophant's Chalice is a good budget ramp option too at $0.35. And on theme.
Thanks for the life drain/gain deck inspiration! been wanting to make one

Ayara is a must kill commander. Doesn't seem like it, and that's why lol
