MTG Specs - Why I Replaced A Good Commander Deck With a Worse One / The Grim Captain/Rukarumel EDH Deck Tech MtG

Hidden within this Rukarumel, Biologist deck is a secret commander, Throne of the Grim Captain - just add dinosaur, pirate, vampire and merfolk bones and, Hey Presto, it flips into a 7/7 with menace, trample, lifelink and hexproof, and has two incredible combat triggers! This deck is replacing my Mimeoplasm build - is it as powerful? No! But this sub optimal switch is way more fun! This is part of my series looking at power level and player experience.
