Outside of a dozen or less cards, all other cards have an odd number to take advantage of Yennett's ability.
Cards in this deck allow for Library Top Manipulation that helps in cheating cards you need out onto the battlefield through Yennett's effect.
Without totally being reliant on this commander, cards such as
Academy Rector can pull
Omniscience or
Dream Halls to help cheating out high CMC cards from your hand.
Diplomatic Immunity,
Swiftfoot Boots,
Lightning Greaves and
Teferi's Protection help in protecting this commander. With Yenneth being a 5 CMC, I prefer not having to pay any tax in recurring her from her Command Zone. Lotsa fun starts happening when Sakashima the Imposter gets on the field as a copy of Yennett. Imagine casting twice each turn as Yennett attacks. And to answer your question, the answer is YES. Sakashima the Imposter gets around the Legendary Rule. The only other card that does as good if not better is
Helm of the Host, but that
ends up costing 9 CMC versus Sakashima's 4 CMC.
If your meta-game sees a lot of decks that generate tokens,
Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite,
Consume the Meek,
Toxic Deluge,
Austere Command and
Night Incarnate can take care of those tokens and small creatures. These removal types do not affect this deck since most all of the creatures are 4 CMC and above. I was thinking about putting in
Engineered Explosives, but will keep that in my side board for now.
Tax cards provide incentive to not get to greedy in your opponents casting and to attack this deck so readily. Added were:
Painful Quandary,
Karmic Justice,
Dictate of Erebos,
Propaganda and
No Mercy.
A few steals are accomplished with
Bribery,
Mind's Dilation,
Treachery,
Lord of the Void, and
Sen Triplets. This creates some great opportunities, especially if you are playing against the likes of any Ulamog. Note that
Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre in this deck may be too powerful, even though it is included at this time. Depends on how friendly you want this deck to be. lol
A few recylable ETBs allow you to take advantage of cards like
Magister Sphinx,
Archaeomancer,
Treachery or to
reset any Plainswalker's Loyalties.
Tutors, removals, card draw, recursion round out this deck that allows you to often attack with high powered creatures that have the potential to get through with flying or unblockable abilities.
I think this deck has a lot of potential. This is not a competitive deck, but I believe it is a focused deck that can compete with a lot of different types of opponent's decks.
I'm always looking for others positive ideas on how to make this deck even better. Please make suggestions. If this deck gave you some ideas on your own deck, your LIKE is greatly appreciated.
Have a MTG kinda day, and thanks for viewing, your Likes, and your comments.

Note: I only use cards that I own; otherwise, any of us could make a $5,000 deck, right? lol
Note:
Humble Words of Wisdom Words:
Just because you throw a lot of money into a deck doesn't mean it will perform well.
Decks need to be built with a focus in mind and synergy throughout. Some of the most fun and playable decks created cost under $300.
