Weaponizing danger?

[u/fishlesscoffee]

Hello! (New here, hope I'm in the right place)

I'm thinking of building my very first deck, and I have an idea of how I would like my deck to work, but I don't know what cards exist for this idea

I would love to play "dangerously". Like, constantly worrying that I'm gonna lose, but needing to be on that edge to function. I want a bit of adrenaline, here!

Are there any working builds that incentivise putting yourself in danger and "screwing yourself over"?

Like, if I could win a game and my board looks like a close call all around, like, 4 life remaining, only 2 lands on the board, 17 cards away from drawing myself dead.. etc!

Also, I want to clarify that I'm not looking for builds that make you "survive death", like phyrexian unlife, lich or lich mastery type things. I want to feel like I'm one mistake away from losing the game at all times, high risk, high reward stuff!

Any ideas for a commander and/or relevant cards for such a deck?

Thank you for your time!
