Mesmeric Orb is a fantastic self-mill card, as are dredge cards like Dakmor Salvage and Golgari Grave-Troll.

Hello there,

I recently decided to give up on Standard and turn towards a more community friendly environment. The deck below is my first attempt on EDH Commander; with all the willingness on improving and achieving a new level of knowledge i submit my list to you. I want to hear what more experienced players have to say and what tips and tricks they can share.
First off, welcome to EDH! I did a similar thing a year or two ago, and haven't regretted it a single bit.

About your deck, you seem to have the right idea. Solid on ramp, removal, you have a good idea of what your deck wants to do, and a small suite of ways to protect your creatures is always nice. One thing, though, is your card draw section. You have a decent amount of tutors, but I like to have 8-10 cards that either say draw a card on them or that provide immediate card advantage in other ways. I suggest generally good cards, no matter the situation you are in, such as Read the Bones, Night's Whisper, or Harmonize, and synergistic cards like The Gitrog Monster, Underrealm Lich, and Path of Discovery. EDH is pretty unique in that every single deck needs a bunch of ramp and card draw. It's an absolute necessity.

Thanks so much for the welcome and the responses thus far, I truly appreciate the support and ideas; there is only so much space a person can cover by itself and I'm glad I turned to this community to further gain on MTG knowledge.

I will put your recommendations on paper and see how they evolve from there for me.

More are always welcome and will be considered carefully.

So, this is an updated version of the deck that took into account all the things that people told me that would be good to include, should be included, some i personally favour.

I understand that some cards might be better but my budget is not limitless; i would love to hear about upgrades though, i.e. "Anguished Unmaking" in the place of "Mythos of Nethroi", as well as any ideas or indications towards some relevant and known playstyles and combos.

All thoughts are welcome as the previous comments alongside some research helped my initial deckbuilding focus a lot. :)
