Gratuitous violence and/or Stalking vengeance. Does the liege make a mess of things with the interaction of shirei and the printed one power creatures you have in the deck? This deck looks like it would be fun to play, I think I should look into getting a lyzolda.

The stalker is a great addition, this is quickly becoming a deck that has at least 3 themes, which if you ask me is very nice.
I might 86 the misthollow griffin, most edh games I play only the general gets rftg. Maybe add something like Sprite noble to replace, just because you are playing lots of flying creatures. I am not sure if you are playing enough enchantments to warrant the Mesa enchantress, it's prolly not doing enough work for you. Try Elite inquisitor, Sliverblade paladin, Voice of all or Tivadar of thorn as a replacement. I like how the deck looks, good job on your first commander deck. Something I tell to all of the people in my playgroup is that every deck can be better so don't stop looking for good advise and if I can help you out again let me know.
I am having trouble understanding why kira is in here, I understand she is great for if someone wanted to spot remove a creature it would be countered but you trying to equip the first time would be countered and your enchantments would be countered. I suppose it would be fine to keep her in the deck because late game she would be better, after you had as many creatures as you possibly could enchanted and equipped then it wouldn't matter if she were out on the field. I would say look up retether and three dreams.
Oh yeah much better. I think you have a good start on edh and the deck looks solid so far. I am doing some research on a new deck right now but in the next few days I could take a better look at the deck and make some specific suggestions if you want me to.
No problem, you are welcome.
No not true, you use the mana symbols on the cards you are considering adding to the deck and if they match the mana symbols on the commander (general) then you can have them in the deck.
Crypt ghast is okay to have in the deck. Look up remainder text in relation to edh rules, the extort b/w on the ghast does not count toward the mana cost of the card.
The Deathcult rogue and Nightveil specter are not legal in this deck. Lavinia's mana cost is both blue and white so you can only have cards in the deck that are blue or white or colorless. The rogue and specter have black in their mana costs and that makes them not able to be in the deck. Also check the main deck, there are 2 Capashen knight.
What about Ivory tower? Something like twincast (copy something like traumatize?), I personally think something like plagiarize would be funny although it might slow down an opponents death due to decking, spelltwine would give another use out of something important like a traumatize, there is a forced fruition in the deck so wheel and deal. I don't know I am really trying to be helpful here, I think that's all I got.
Loyal cathar is not legal in this deck due to the transform (back side) of the card. The back side of the card is black therefore the card in whole is considered a black and white card. Very interesting deck, I like it.
Mr. Bryce check your main deck you have 2 path and 2 solar tide listed, nice build I am working on something that is vaguely similar. One thing though, it puzzles me that you have stoneforge and puresteel but no equipment. Finally I am not sure if you were planning on relying on felidar sovereign for a possible win condition, the reason I say that is because I don't think I saw enough sources of life gain in the deck. That and white sucks for tutoring anything (for the sovereign or for victory s herald), Idk all I am saying is to consider adding more gain life cards. Okay I actually counted out all of the cards that have some sort of life gain and there are more in there than what I thought when glanced at it the first time.
Limited resources is banned but if your local playgroup doesn't mind then by all means keep playing it.
Well it's completely fine if you want to be "that guy" , the one that creates infinite mana and doesn't allow other players to interact. In some playgroups doing that is frowned upon and it can sometimes make it difficult to find players that will want to play vs your deck (s). But if that is your play style and your playgroup doesn't mind then go for it. ( I feel that my experience vs these type of decks allows me to leave this comment, once every other week I have to face 3 other players that go infinite with one of the decks they bring to the table. I think my playgroup is on the borderline of being big 6 to 8 people show when we get together and a edh game with that many players is insane, usually I don't win because I am not playing a deck that goes infinite).
This is a really good deck, one of my "friends" in my local playgroup had a deck very similar to yours. I wish my memory was better but since it is what it is I can't remember very much of it at all. I do know that he used 0 creatures main deck and had the proteus staff trick going on with melek. I know that you are aware of how the win comes after you use proteus staff and melek but I will enlighten those that are not aware (and because you did not explain in the how to play area). Essentially you get to set your deck up the way you want it (some players scoop after this happens) then you can do lots of things including playing cards in your hand without paying any mana to do so (if Omniscience is out), take multiple turns in a row, return all non land permanents you don't control to their owners hands, proceed to counter most spells after the c rift, gain control of all creatures at least for a turn so you can lay down some big beats. Early on in games (if other players don't know what is going to happen to them) the melek player will be left alone, due to the fact that he is not much of a threat. But if the melek player is allowed to gather some steam and get into the mid to late game then it's all over. I hate that I can't give any card suggestions but I will say that the build looks solid and I like it.
As it stands now using some of the cards that cjreedemption has offered up to you I will make another suggestion. Since you gain life as creatures come into play, why not gain life as they leave play as well? Look up Proper burial and the way I might play a deck like this would be to play some mass creature wipe. Reason is simple other players might be playing bigger creatures than your tokens, so your losses would be I wanna say less. Plus you have the ability to recover quicker, get more tokens out while other players are trying to play one huge creature per turn. Idk our play types might be too different and you might think blowing up the field is not the right thing to do but it's just something to think about.
This is in response to what dualprinciple was saying, what about death cultist?
I wanted to help you out with a deck and randomly picked this one but methinks this is pretty sick so it might not need much. I would say to try to replace the golem eye with something like a thran dynamo. Grimoire of the dead, Lich lord of Unx (or not you are not running that many creatures), Army of the damned (this might not work so great either, the tokens are not physical cards in the grave), Vengeful pharaoh, Lim-dul + gravepact = awesome, Graveborn muse.
If you want to take full advantage of the tribal giant theme you almost have going on as the the deck stands, I will recommend Conspiracy. Also if you have not done so already I would say for you to look at my r/w deck you can get some more ideas on what giant type cards to use if you want to continue that route and that means I will not have to look in my binder and list individual cards.
Yeah I need to get off my ass and add the guttersniper. I am not feeling the hymn o battle or the massive raid since I am not running that many creatures and plus my creatures have a bad habit of dying at end of turn or end up back in my hand (unless you were saying to add the 2 cards I just got through dissing because they would work after gaining tokens off of the hostility, in that case both cards would be great adds). I was rofl about the hostility, that is some crazy good junk right there. I will have to look into getting that one in here as well. Thank you for the comment, as it turns out you are good for something. Oh yeah and before I forget I have started working on the vorosh build.
