Commander Deck Reviews / Re: Pride, The Original Sin

Thank you so much for the feedback so far!
I like what you said about some of the creature's death triggers being being too situational and it has me thinking about what I should do to fix that. I have blood artist and a few other cards coming in the mail so that should help make the life gain/loss more consistent.
I would like to talk a bit about the rhyme and reason behind some of the cards in the deck that were found confusing:
1. I am mainly making my decks out of cards that I already have. Yes I think I have too many cards in the deck that I just like for the combos and they are taking away from the whole point of having a commander I can draw on whenever I want.
2. Ojer Taq, the deepest foundation does technically have a death trigger but that isn't why I put it in the deck. I put it in the deck for making more tokens to sacrifice. Teysa, Orzhov Scion has the ability where everytime a black creature I control dies I create a 1/1 white spirit creature token. Ojer taq lets me tripple the amount of tokens I receive and then that is doubled again from Teysa Karlov. This results in 6 1/1 white spirit creature tokens instead of just 2 tokens from Teysa's doubling ability.
Thank you for pointing out that cry of contrition wouldn't be effected by the double death triggers since it isn't a permanent. I have plenty of other cards that I can swap in to make it better.
I originally wanted to load the deck up with creature cards that have 'Haunt' but I don't know whether or not those cards in exile are technically under my control or if I own them. If I own them that would mean the trigger effect for the haunted creature dying would happen twice because of Teysa Karlov. That would be awesome but I would be more embarassed if that didn't work.
I'm going to go ahead and switch out cards and update the deck. I'll make another comment when it has been updated.
