I wanted to build a deck that was always appropriate to any play group. So I decided to make a Esper deck that that focused on cloning and reanimating other peoples creatures as to scale it's own power level based on what others are playing. Also I wanted to use a lot single target removal to show the value of it to my groups.
I think its a really cool deck idea you got, and I think Dakkon is a great commander. The guy s a Warrior if I remember correctly, you could give him the axe, haste and equip for free. Also a Darksteel Plate, he could survive all your Wrath effect.
As for the copy thing, i would add a Copy Artifact, a Vesuvan and a Sculpting Steel.
Would you consider steeling other people things or just copying them? Control Magic effect could be fun.

Small update to the list. Added Body Double and Vesuva as they seem on theme. Currently debating dropping the three 3cmc hit/draw guys for straight up draw. They are nice early, but not so much later.
Sense your playing Dakkon maybe you should add Herald of Leshrac in this Deck. Yes, it cost 6B and thats just as much for Dakkon but if you go with the Dark Ritual, Entomb, than Exhume for it you may dominate the game. Reanimate is good in EDH because you have 40 life so its good. But if you Body Double or Rite of Replication Herald it can get nasty quick.
Wayfarer's Bauble is a good piece of ramp that has some synergy with your commander. Also if you can find room for them 1 or 2 Twincast type spells are on theme with copying your opponent's stuff.

Twincast[/CARD] is a good idea. I will have to find a slot for that. Adding Bribery and gilded drake in atm because peoples idea of creating a stronger deck seems to be adding eldrazi or playing skittles/prog.
Where is the Grave Titan, Sun Titan, and Frost Titan or the Mirrodin Swords you can copy artifacts with Mirrorworks so Wayfinder's Bauble is now searching for two lands. You could also add Sphinx of the Steel Wind, Mirror Gallery lets you play with copied versions of Legendary Creatures.

I chose Dakkon because he is the least douche Esper general.
As to the deck any suggestions are welcome.
As for the copy thing, i would add a Copy Artifact, a Vesuvan and a Sculpting Steel.

All good ideas. I will have to find room.
Nah I had a theft themed deck, and people got kinda butthurt. So trying to avoid that.
Also considering some hard counters, A mana drain, cryptic command, and counterspell just for those Tooth and Nails and Insurrection.

Some small changes, nothing major. Just replacing the 3cmc draw card creature as they only seem decent early game.
