After working on my Word of Command deck I found that it can be a very useful card when used in combination with something such as Mana Drain, but it needs a way to cause more disruption than essentially just forcing a discard. So here's my new idea with it - Mana Breach. The deck itself is based on Breach rather than Word of Command, but WoC fits in well with the deck's main plan.
Here's the deck so far:

Disruption:
4 Mana Drain
4 FoW
3 Foil
3 Word of Command
3 Chalice of the Void
2 Hurkyl's Recall

Delay/Lock:
3 Mana Breach
4 Tangle Wire
1 Time Walk
3 Land Equilibrium

Card Draw:
1 Ancestral Recall
3 Thirst for Knowledge

Other:
1 Zuran Orb
1 Black Vise
1 Ivory Tower

Mana Base:
1 Black Lotus
1 Mox Sapphire
1 Mox Emerald
1 Mox Jet
1 Mox Ruby
1 Mox Pearl
1 Lotus Petal
1 Sol Ring
1 Mana Vault
4 Mishra's Workshop
1 Strip Mine
1 Tolarian Academy
4 Underground Sea
3 Glimmervoid
2 Island

Well there it is, the deck completely kills their land, and the Hurkyl's Recall and Chalice stop the artifacts. The Mana Base is pretty unstable, I originally had a Mana Crypt and LoA instead of the two Islands, but the blue mana was too hard to reach. The deck is pretty controlish with an element of Stax added to it. Cards I'm considering adding to it are Future Sight, Blood Clock/Umbilicus, Powder Keg, Culling Scales, Mind Slaver, and Gate to the Aether.
The sideboard is in progress but I think I've just about got it worked out, any ideas on the deck in general would help loads, cheers guys!

[Edit: I just realised the poitnlessness of Foil in here, so replaced them with 3 Remands]

Is your win condition Black Vise?

How do you plan to stay alive long enough to play these 3CC and 4CC enchantments?

Obviously, Zuran Orb > Tinker.

Maybe this is a casual deck =/
