One of my favorite things to do is to get Venser's journal out, then Necropotence, and then get Desolation Angel. I can blow up all of their lands, be healing insanely each turn before they can do anything, and be doing easy damage. The only thing that could easily stop it is a counter or something like Terra Eternal. Criticisms? Suggestions? All is welcome, and thank you.

Here are some cards I can think of off the top of my head that I'd recommend, but some of them depend on the kind of decks you're playing against, and some are dependent on the inclusion of other cards:
Yosei, the Morning Star
Angel of Despair
Sun Titan
Myojin of Night's Reach
Weathered Wayfarer
Iona, Shield of Emeria
Academy Rector
Sheoldred, the Whispering One
Duplicant
Stoneforge Mystic
Wrath of God
Damnation
Armageddon
Promise of Power
Austere Command
Profane Command
Unburial Rites
Reanimate
Beacon of Unrest
Vindicate
Demonic Tutor
Vampiric Tutor
Enlightened Tutor
Swords to Plowshares
Path to Exile
Condemn
Return to Dust
Corpse Dance
Comet Storm
Sword of Fire and Ice
Sword of Light and Shadow
Sword of Feast and Famine
Sword of War and Peace
Crucible of Worlds
Boros Signet
Orzhov Signet
Rakdos Signet
Mana Crypt
Coalition Relic
Debtors' Knell
Animate Dead
Necromancy
Oblivion Ring
Phyrexian Reclamation
Aura of Silence
Strip Mine
Wasteland
Boros Garrison
Orzhov Basilica
Rakdos Carnarium
Sacred Foundry
Godless Shrine
Blood Crypt
Plateau
Scrublands
Badlands
Arid Mesa
Marsh Flats
Bloodstained Mire
These are just some recommendations, I wouldn't include all of them, and they're just off the top of my head so they might not all work well in your deck. Your deck looks like a lot of fun though!

Duplicant is good and I didn't even think about it.
Out of those creatures, I wouldn't use the Myojin. I've personally never liked them. Unless I had That Which was Taken. I also wouldn't use Stoneforge Mystic, I just don't have enough Equipment for it. Sun Titan, Yosei, and Angel of Despair are cards that I want but don't just have the money for.
Those white destruction cards (other than Armageddon, because I could use it as a desolation angel) are pretty expensive.
Profane and Austere command are amazing, I just don't have the money to acquire them yet.
Reanimate is also pretty expensive. I'll probably get myself and Unburial rites though, that's a new one so I didn't know it existed.
Vindicate is AMAZINGLY expensive, but awesome. Like a cheap angel of Despair.
I already have Demonic Tutor and Beacon of Unrest.
The Swords are also really expensive, and so is Vampiric Tutor.
Enlightened tutor I could acquire easily enough though, despite it's cost.
Condemn, Swords to Plowshares, and Path to Exile I all want.
Return to Dust is awesome, I just haven't seen it.
I don't want Corpse Dance entirely because i want to bring cards back multiple times.
Comet Storm I'll probably look at getting.
Crucible of Worlds is amazing and expensive... but I might try to get that one anyway. It'll make Angel of Despair easier for me to play.
The Signets I don't play entirely because there are better cards.
Mana Crypt I actually used to run. It typically hurt more than helped me though
I already plan on getting Debtors' Knell
Animate Dead, Necromancy, and Oblivion ring I have but just haven't put them in yet. Aura of Silence I'll probably get though.
All those lands, the only reason I don't have them is money XD most of my cards I got with around $70 lol
So the only ones I could realistically get are
Sheoldred
Duplicant
Sun Titan, which would work well with Doomed Necromancer
Weathered Wayfarer
Austere/Profane Command
Armageddon
Unburial Rites
Reanimate
Enlightened Tutor
Swords to Plowshares
Path to Exile
Condemn
Return to Dust
Comet Storm
Crucible of Worlds
Debtors' Knell
Animate Dead
Necromancy
Aura of Silence
Thank you smile I greatly appreciate it. The cards you suggested would greatly help with the single and mass removal, and would help with my recursion.

No problem, I always like giving any advice I can on EDH decks. It's the only format I've kept up with after all these years. I myself play Doran, the Siege Tower and Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind (partly because I have both of the Champs full-art copies lol). If I ever think of any additional cards to recommend to you, I'll be sure to post them.

Thanks. Doran I think is fun because of cards like Tree of Redemption. idk how I'd make Niv-Mizzet work though.

I play Doran just as a "goodstuff" control deck. Actually the only creatures in my deck that are affected by Doran are so affected in a negative way haha. I just use Doran to get card advantage early game. Niv-Mizzet is just a monoblue combo deck in disguise, meant for 1 versus 1. I wanted a competitive combo deck that wasn't Erayo, Arcum Dagsson, Vendilion Clique, and so on. I've played two of those decks already, and (apart from the prebanned Tolarian Academy days of Arcum Dagsson) they aren't very much fun to play or play against.

shabatha At the moment i'm going with Jenara, Asura of war. It's going to be an angel deck with lots of fun cards but right now, angels are expensive... My commander is an angel too, and yeah they are expensive XD But as a side-note, anyone that plays white/blue is a d**k -_- Or at least everyone I've played against with those colors. Also, I really don't like Jenera in general. She's fine in extended or legacy, but as a commander? She's just a little underwhelming. If it's for those colors, fine I guess. But there are much better angels out there, like Reya Dawnbringer or Razia, Boros Archangel As for those colors, U/G has some really good cards, like Fable of Wolf & Owl Mystic Snake, and Omnibian. Blue is just the best color in commander in general (Even if I don't play with it... it doesn't have good enough recursion for me) and white is probably third best. Green I don't have alot of expertise on though. Probably the best creature of those three colors (legendary) is Rafiq of the Many or Angus Mackenzie. Is there anything I'm missing? Kaalia of the Vast is AMAZING. I considered using her instead of Tariel, but decided that Kaalia wouldn't work well enough for recursion. She's awesome for high-cost cards like Malfegor, Demon of Death's Gate, Iona, Reya Dawnbringer, and Zodiac Dragon (But good luck getting a Zodiac Dragon...) So yeah. Plus you could use every card in my deck XD I've been told I'm too much of a fan of Reya Dawnbringer... but screw them all lol.

And mana ramp for the fact that my cards are all high cost.

-facepalm- I totally forgot about green mana ramp XD
Mirari's Wake is amazing, if you can get it, btw.
Are you going to be getting a Lhurgoyf? I've found them to be incredibly, insanely good in Commander with a lot of things dying.
Then there's the Riftstone Portal/Ghost Quarter combo. That could be pretty useful. And also Caged Sun, though idk how much exactly that would help.

I helped a friend make a Jenara deck a while back. It was UWG enchantress. I had a lot of fun playing it, and Jenara is actually quite strong. Late game, she's an efficient threat with evasion that can get out of control quickly. She's also a mana sink, which works well in that color combination with cards like Mirari's Wake and Mana Reflection. I remember a silly combo in that deck that we played was Energy Field and Wheel of Sun and Moon. There are a lot of awesome interactions between those colors and it makes for some of the most consistent/resilient EDH decks.

I don't think ill be using Lurgoyf... If that's how you spell it. It's more mana ramp with the colors... Originally i wanted an angel deck that i could play the planeswalkers that i currently have in. Garruk Venser, Elspeth and Tezzeret. But decided against my planeswalkers and just kept the commander smile
