Re: Undying Commander---maybe

I'll take a more in-depth look here in a bit, but the one card I noticed was missing was Triskelion.  It pairs with Mikaeus to offer a non-stop, one-sided board wipe in your favor.  You just remove the counters, other stuff gets zapped, it dies, comes back with four counters, rinse and repeat.  Outside of indestructible and hexproof creatures, it will single-handedly wipe their side of the board.

yeah he'll be in it once i can get one, these are cards i had an friends are letting me borrow/trading for
yeah the loop he has in nice smile

Re: Undying Commander---maybe

Some things I can think of off the top of my head:

Lands:
Cabal Coffers
Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx
Deserted Temple
Thawing Glaciers
Phyrexian Tower
Strip Mine

Mess with counters:
Hex Parasite - (edit: I saw this guy is in the deck notes)
Black Sun's Zenith
Vampire Hexmage

Trigger on creatures dying:
Ogre Slumlord

Sac outlet/Control
Gate to Phyrexia
Braids, Cabal Minion
Sheoldred, Whispering One
Phyrexian Altar
Ashnod's Altar
Grave Pact
Xiahou Dun, the One-Eyed (The judge version is "affordable")

Edit: in response to Triskelion, it hits players too.  The only reason not to include it is if you think it's a cheesy combo.

One last edit:  How often do you cast Baleful Force? Seems strong, but eight mana is a lot.  Wouldn't you prefer Sheoldred, Whispering One (7 mana triggers something every upkeep) or Bloodgift Demon (similar but less powerful effect @ 5 mana)?
