I've wanted to make a deck based around Psychic Corrosion and Looter type effects for years. But most of these effects target a single player and there is not enough redundancy to make such a deck work. I recently started reading the Sandman comics and I've dabbled with custom cards in the past. I thought Morpheus would be a terrific choice for a custom commander so I designed this and set out to build a deck based around it.
Morpheus of the Dreaming 2UU
Legendary Enchantment Creature - Spirit (M)
Indestructible
Whenever you draw or discard a card, you may have each opponent put the top card of their library into their graveyard.
When Morpheus blocks a creature, that creature does not untap during it’s controllers next untap step.

I want this deck to feel like one of the commander preconstructs. It contains 2 Mythics, 23 rares, 21 uncommons, and 25 commons also. For reference the Saheeli preconstruct contains 4 mythics and 32 rares.
According to the professor each of the 2017 commander preconstructs would have cost $130-$150 to buy the singles for at the time of it's release. My deck would cost $157.53 as of today according to MTGgoldfish (without the general of course). Most of the value of the deck comes from a few cards. Rhystic Study, Propaganda, and Cyclonic Rift are the only cards that are at or above the $10 mark. So I think this is within the realm of what a preconstructed deck would contain. Though they might try to spread the value of Rhystic Study and Cyclonic Rift out a little.
I tried to stick with the Command Zone deck template. 10 Card Draw cards (Have that in spades), 10 Mana Rocks, 5 Board Wipes, 5 Spot Removal Spells. I think games would be interactive but I guess I really can't know until I build the deck.
How do you think this deck would fair. Would you argue if someone pulled a custom commander out against you? If no, would you argue with this specific commander?

Without even looking at the 99, the legend design is essentially a brutal pasting of two things. One is a faux-Psychic Corrosion that you wouldn't even realistically need (if you're drawing enough cards to dent people's decks with this, you probably found a way to win), and then you decided that isn't enough and slapped on a pillowfort defensive mode to get people off your back. I probably wouldn't humour you. However, I'm kind of wary of all sorts of non-standard setups since prolonged exposure to a fellow with zero respect for the ban list a few years back. Sorry if this sounds rough, but the design just doesn't speak to me on any level.
You could just look into Phenax, you know. There's a fantastic primer about him on the boards.
