I have been using Daxos for a while now, and I have found my current build to be underwhelming at best, I tried making it so that the deck could operate without him, but the result is a little too watered down.
For this reason, I have decided to focus more on Daxos himself and controlling the board.
The curve seems a bit high. You can probably squeeze mana tithe, & force spike as both are cheap. Lands that come into play untapped are always better in duels, as it lets you cast your spells when you really need to on curve. Cheaper removal and sweepers are always great if your are blue-white. How's your testing with the deck against those in your group? Any plans of building/porting this to a more competetive list? Budget casual duel commander is somethig I haven't heard of before, but more power to your group if that's how everyone wants to build their decks!

As the title suggests, this is a budged build, It's for casual Duel Commander play. Most likely to come up against Olivia Voldaren, Kaalia of the Vast and Daretti, Scrap Savant.
Any suggestions for improvement would be much appreciated.
Statute of Denial...just run Dismiss.
