My average CMC is rather high at the moment, any ideas to lower it would be greatly appreciated. I am deciding whether or not I would like to combo out with Tariel, or just keep it a good stuff/board wipe deck. Thoughts?
Thanks!
Well when I ran Tariel I made sure to use Umbral Mantle to abuse her ability. Relic of Progenitus and cards like Rag Dealer to get loser creatures out of graveyards. Academy Rector would be nice to tutor up stuff like Debtors' Knell and I think Rise of the Dark Realms would be a nice inclusion as well. Honestly though, I did not really like running her as a commander and did not meet with much success (that could be because I was running cards like rag dealer). I hope that your experience is better!
Thanks! I will definitely use the Thousand Year elixir, i just need to get my hands on another copy. Life's Finale is great too. These will lower the cmc average considerably i think.

I will look into Umbral Mantle, as well as Thornbite Staff with a sac outlet. These cards I would include if i wanted to go more combo, so i dont know my direction I want to go yet. Rise of the Dark realms looks really fun, i will have to test that out too.
I have only used Tariel a few times as of now, but I have had a degree of success with a lot of potential, so its really on based on the meta
after playing with it a bunch, i changed a few things around.
added some more ramp, as well as graveyard shenanigans. its a lot of fun to play, and the randomness on tariel makes it that much better when you get a sheoldred or sun titan or whatever
After Acquireing some new cards, I have made a few changes to this deck. Mostly some more heavy beaters, as well as Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth. Usually I get targeted first due to the general good stuff creatures, so I have taken to more board clears. I might add in the Gods and/or Myojins as they will be harder to kill. I rarely cast Tariel anymore, its more utility later on in the game for me.

Life's Finale is a sweeper that also sets up an opponent's graveyard for Tariel.
Nezumi Graverobber can exile the crappy creatures, or if you can flip it, reanimate stuff.
Withered Wretch can exile the crappy stuff.
