After playing it a bit I'm looking to make cuts for the cards in the sideboard. On the chopping block are:Intruder Alarm - only in there for Kiki and Krenko with Purphoros. Budoka Gardener sometimes got some love from itRise of the Hobgoblins - One of my favorite cards but it doesn't quite do enoughSelesnya Guildmage - expensive activated costs limit it's usefulnessToo many elementals and not enough tokens:Wispmare- Big brother Bane of Progress Slithermuse - other draw outshines this limited effectShriekmaw - Can't target black or artifactsLand cut for Alchemist Refuge? Grim Backwoods?Cards I most want to see come in are:Dragon BroodmotherPreyseizer DragonProssh, Skyraider of KherRite of ReplicationVillainous WealthAssemble the LegionCathars' CrusadeNecrogenesisSacred MesaAlchemist's RefugeThis is where I want suggestions.If I include Prossh and Preyseizer I'd have to insist on Tainted Strike being an auto-include. Which leaves 3 spots for 7 cards. Rite of Replication with any of my token doubling effects is just ridiculous. How did I overlook this from the start? Would consider going to 37 lands and cutting Blighted Steppe for another spell as I would still have Soul Warden, Vault of the Archangel and Westvale Abbey to keep my life stable. Shamanic Revelation as an honorable mention for that as well.

Honestly looked no further at the decklists beyond the potential commanders. It'll probably go in for DoJ. Vault hasn't updated with the 2013 commander cards yet so for now I'll just leave it as it is.

People play tutors that reveal all the time. Recursion to hand is rampant in my meta. Their own mistakes such as playing the wrong card and taking it back ect. Fireshrieker let's me look on the first hit and name correctly on the second. Moonring Island let's you see the top card of an opponents library. Telepathy is like cheating tbh. And the simple fact that I'll probably just swing at the same person more then once.
I'm terrible with names :( and thank you.
Not many people are going to let Omnath sit there and hold on to mana for you. Playing agains't yourself is all well and good to see how it can play out, but other people won't let some things go like the bed would :P. I for one would see him and find some way to get rid of him. He's scary in the fact that he is a beatstick and let's you play even bigger threats early on.
Have you considered Kamahl, Fist of Krosa as an alternate general. I like him as a wrath deterrent. Someone plays some kind of field wipe and you turn all their lands into creatures. And an overrun whenever you want it is always nice.
Very well. If the opponent had wasted removal on smaller infect creatures and the Hand sticks he is extremely efficient in adding +1/+1 to infect creatures(less creatures needed to kill the opp) and the poison counters on playing one. If they hold on to the removal for the Hand, the tiny infect(esp the stinger) gets through. Overall the Hand is one awesome card and should be in any infect deck.
The spellbomb is indeed a good idea. I've been trying out some mimic vats and like them quite a bit, just not sure what I would replace in the sb. And I had Ichorclaw in there for a while and liked it. was testing out the blackcleaves. Don't really like them in comparison, as you said they cost 4 and are just too slow. Putting the ichor back in because I'm replacing the clasp with throne of geth. more artifacts to feed it, esp if said creature is already going to die.
