This is the deck i played for the North American Championship at Gencon. I've used this deck with minor changes through this entire competitive season, most recent changes being the removal of my last Sowing Chaos and switching my Shadowfields to A Thousand Cuts.
R1: Regional Bye, i get to relax this round. 1-0 R2: Subject Omega, I keep his units off the board and he can't win enough command struggles to infest any planets. 2-0 R3: Eldorath Vehicles, I playtested with this guy a little bit since we both wanted practice vs each other's decks. I play 9 hammers on turn one and never look back. 3-0 R4: Cato, He gets a total of 2 resources from Catos ability on turn 1, i bloody and kill him very early. 4-0 R5: Anrakyr, i honestly couldn't tell you what this deck was supposed to do. I won all the command every turn and bullied the first three planets at the same time, my opponent attacked with a unit once before i won the game. 5-0 R6: Eldorath (National Champion Rick), We were both guaranteed to make the cut so this game was super important. Still was a close game with Rick winning in the end. 5-1
Top 16: Worr, Murder of Razorwings and a mulligan by my opponent get me there in this one. I played a Palace on the last turn and denied one card. That card was a Preemptive Barrage that would have let him dodge the assassination.
Top8: Old One Eye, my opponent plays a Ymgarl Genestealer on planet one action one and followed it with double Murder of Razorwings. Welcome to never catching back up.
Top4: Eldorath Vehicles again, Same player as the swiss. The planet flop was amazing for me, the only win was at planet 5 and only one planet had both cards and resources. I play a turn one palace and turn on the choke. A greedy play by me got Kith bloodied on turn 1 but i emptied his hand of cards by the end of turn 2 and returned the favor on turn 3. All i needed to do was draw a Klaivex to secure the planet he needed to win and i don't see it in time. The top 4 cards of my deck? Klaivex, Klaivex, Khymera master, Klaivex.
Sample Hand:
Total Shields: 0
Average Shields Per Event/Attachment: 0
Total Command: 0
Average Command Per Unit: 0
I recently ditched the sufferings in my deck for thousand cuts and I must admit it really fills the void perfectly. Can be used as a shield if needed, a nice set up to lead into the Klaviex, or finish off that unit thats sat on 1 hp and to top it off, its reusable as it gets shuffled back into the deck after being used as an event.

Congrats. Looks nasty! How did 1000 cuts perform? Did you use it mostly for shields? Curious why you did not use Gut and Pillage.
Thousand Cuts ended up being shields most of the time but it just fit the deck better than the other two shield options and has more utility.
My opinion on Gut & Pillage is that it is too conditional, what you need for G&P to :
1:Red planets
2:G&P in your hand
3:Being able to win a battle at the red planet
4:Committing to the red planet if its not the first planet
You can get those 3 resources easily by improving your command +commit game.
