I too have always thought Genju should be legal. I mean...he CAN be a creature. But NO to the Mindslaver deck! Bad idea!
I know you're going for a strong theme here, but I myself personally would get a Zur the Enchanter in there. And since he isn't the general and just one of the 99, I don't think anyone would mind.
To me Genju really isn't a legal general but can be justified by the strong theme (as no other 5CC even remotely fits). I'm not really running any of the toolbox cards for zur and if I were to put creatures in they would be the enchantresses and aura thief.
the main win condition is getting Enduring Ideal going with Arboria along with two of privileged position/Greater Auramancy/Sterling Grove, as well as the Opalecence/Enchanted Evening combo, as well as the squirrel nest/earthcraft combo.

the deck has no creature cards, only insants, sorceries and enchantments that's the point.
EDIT: oh and a planeswalker
(C'mon mindslaver deck.)
Generals meant to be drafted first in a single pack of 6 cards.
And here is the actual cube, meant to be drafted in 4 regular sized packs. (60 card decks)
I too have always thought Genju should be legal. I mean...he CAN be a creature. But NO to the Mindslaver deck! Bad idea!
I know you're going for a strong theme here, but I myself personally would get a Zur the Enchanter in there. And since he isn't the general and just one of the 99, I don't think anyone would mind.

Actually all 5 of those are legal, since the unflipped form is a legendary creature.
