Check out my Tajic list. That's probably as douche as it gets for your group.

It leverages all the strengths of Red/White. Basically a decently aggressive list with indestructible creatures and enough BLOW IT THE FUCK UP to keep your opponents off their feet.
I really like that list. I'm just wary of decks that really rely on their commanders to close out games. Also what do you when Tajic is tucked? I play a Tajic soldier tribal ish monstrosity online and it's pretty fun. I just feel if you're going full douche in commander blue and green are essential. Not gonna lie, playing red to destroy lands would be delightful!

Probably one of the simplest generals to start building cutthroat with is Thada Adel, ramp style.

Cram in a healthy contingent of multi-mana mana rocks aside from Thada, fast mana a la Grim Monolith, Mana Vault, Sol Ring, Mana Crypt, Thran Dynamo, Gilded Lotus, Everflowing Chalice, Phyrexian Metamorph, Worn Powerstone, Copy Artifact, Scuplting Steel, Extraplanar Lens, Tezzeret the Seeker, maybe Gauntlet of Power. That gives you a level of mana ramp in conjunction with Thada that ought to be ridiculously unfair.

While ramping, sit back on around 10-12 counterspells, adjusted according to your meta, sprinkle in some blue removal (Pongify, Rapid Hybridization, Curse of the Swine, etc.) and some good creature theft to the tune of about 8 slots total, pump in
Knowledge Exploitation/Time Stretch/Time Warp/Temporal Manipulation/Walk The Aeons/Diluvian Primordial/Notorious Throng(if you roll that way), finish with things like Lightning Greave'd Eldrazi (don't forget Pathrazer of Ulamog), Memnarch, Sphinx Ambassador, possibly Rites of Replication, Blightsteel Colossus, Bribery. The rest of your deck is just about every card draw spell you can find that generates three or more cards for you: Stroke of Genius, Jace's Ingenuity, Opportunity, Mind Spring, Braingeyser, Recurring Insight, Concentrate, Deep Analysis, Tidings, Jin-Gitaxias, Myojin of Seeing Winds, Blue Sun's Zenith, Jace the Mind Sculptor, etc. Mystical Tutor doesn't hurt.

Add Back to Basics, and you're pretty well set.

You're monoblue, so you've got access to counters and removal, but you can also ramp much faster than what most other decks are capable of doing. If you're in a position to be aggressive fast, you can potentially start casting hasty Eldrazi turns 4-5 with the right start, but
you're also well-positioned for the long game, since you don't have to over-extend or burn cards from hand if you don't want to, but can quietly ride on the back of Thada, build up massive mana and/or card advantage, and wait for your moment to strike. Since you can grab other people's Lightning Greaves basically at will, it's pretty easy to arrange for a hasty threat to come down and basically one-shot people at your discretion, without giving them any opportunity to react.
One heck of a write up man. Thanks a lot! Mono blue control just wasn't the direction I'm looking to go.

You should probably just choose one or two of those rather than try to do them all. Infinite combos mixed with land destruction seems bad.

Sharuum combo is extremely powerful, for the record.
Didn't quite mean everything at once. Just wanted to give some examples of the things I want to do.

IME, Arcum Dagsson's pretty good at griefing a whole table.
I don't want to just be a mono blue griefer. I'm totally open to running 3 colors. I just want to do all the broken shit we usually frown upon: infinite combos, counters, cards like Jin Gitaxias, tooth and nail, Vorinclex, land destruction etc etc etc

Help me douche it up!

My playgroup normally plays with a really restrictive list of things we do and don't do. No counters, infinite combos etc. Well we are going to build decks for when we want to be especially douchey! I do know if you're playing cutthroat you need to have blue for counters/extra turns. I was thinking Riku but he's so mana intensive. Gotta cast him, cast the spell you want to copy, pay for the copy. Anyone have a better idea?
