Deck Description

I got my hands on a complete set of the 2015 commander decks.The original Decklist can be found under "Swell the Host":

After a few testgames I wanted to get rid of cards I didn't really like in here. Here are the changes and what' it has become.

Removed:
Thelonite Hermit ...To expensive for 5 experience counters, there are better token producers.
Arbor Colossus ...Doesn't quite fit to Ezuris theme/ idea at all.
Simic Keyrune ...I have choosen Gyre Sage as mana- acceleration and the 3/2 hexproof it becomes doesn't even activate Ezuris ability.
Viridian Shaman ...Got replaced by Nullmage Shepherd
Cold-Eyed Selkie ...Got replaced by Blighted Agent. The islandwalk ability might proof to unstable to be of great use, even if the carddraw is interesting.
Chameleon Colossus ...Doesn't quite fit to Ezuris theme/ idea at all.
Noble Quarry ...I didn't thought of needing the ability of this creature.
Synthetic Destiny ...In a token-heavy deck a mass-exile isn't really best of all things, even if the exiled creatures are replaced.
Great Oak Guardian ...Got replaced by Craterhoof Behemoth
Simic Signet ....I have choosen Gyre Sage as mana- acceleration.
Sword of Vengeance ...Got replaced by Mask of Avacyn to get some more protection.
1 Island
2 Forest

Added:
Hangarback Walker ...insurance against board-swipers.
Acidic Slime ...A very flexible creature with deathtouch.
Yavimaya Elder ...Ramp and carddraw.
Hornet Nest ...Token production based on the damage it received. Excelent target to be pumped with Ezuris ability to life longer and thus produce more tokens.
Whispersilk Cloak ...More protection for Ezuri or any other key creature on the board.
Thopter Assembly ...A strong creature that has to be protected for one turn and then delivers 5 tokens and can be cast again from your hand.
Wolfbriar Elemental ...Multikicker ({G}) Elemental that comes with a 2/2 wolf token for each time it was kicked.
Sekki, Seasons' Guide ...Excelent target for Ezuris ability. Whenever he is dealt damage he produces 1/1 spirits (Sadly not flying) and loses that many tokens. Can be brought back from the Graveyard by sacrificing spirit tokens.
Craterhoof Behemoth ...Mass-pump when attaking.
Burnished Hart ...Ramp.
Mask of Avacyn ...More protection for Ezuri or any other key creature on the board.
Nullmage Shepherd ...Replacement for Viridian Shaman
Blighted Agent ...Replacement for Cold-Eyed Selkie
Gyre Sage ...

I also took a look at the following cards, but wanted to test the deck in it's curent state before:
Consign to Dust, Mitotic Slime, Notorious Throng, , Hornet Queen, Blisterpod, Myr Sire, Fists of Ironwood, Broodhatch Nantuko, Druid's Call, Chasm Skulker, Eldrazi Skyspawner, Fungal Sprouting, Symbiotic Elf, Whirler Rogue, Grizzly Fate, Kessig Cagebreakers, Myr Battlesphere, Pentavus

I own most of the cards, the rest is as proxis, and have played in on some (few) occasions. I'm open to all suggestions and ideas that may help to improve this deck.

How to Play

"Ezuri, Claw of Progress" (commander) ability:
Whenever a creature enters the battlefield with power 2 or less under your control you get an experience counter.

Most of your creatures give you at last one of this counter when entering, many can supply you with multiple of those (e.g. Patagia Viper). You can either pump up your weaker creatures to become strong beaters or pump your commander. If you get lucky you get your hand on one of the possible evasion spells and can defeat an opponent with a single attack.
