The deck performed decently enough on it's first night. Highlights were a 26/2 Talrand, swinging through the air with a lethal token swarm, and bouncing an entire board with Tidespout Tyrant. I'm considering adding Trench Gorger to take out my lands once I get to an acceptable threshold. I will be adding Day of the Dragons and Cultural Exchange for more hilarity.
I'd love suggestions of which cantrips/cards to cut for more consistency and Talrand protection. Do I need more artifact ramp? Should I be adding in a few counterspells? As usual, if you're going to suggest a card for the deck, please give me a hint as to what card it should replace.
