I just took down a small tournament yesterday with it. Dude is still straight busted. I'm probably gonna take out time spiral (my last remaining non-sanitarium synergy piece) at some point, but I'm not 100% what I'd replace it with yet. I'll probably just wait until kaladesh comes out and try out the new nissa in that slot. Once again in like 90% of my games he could be a vanilla 3/3 for 3 and it would make absolutely no difference, and outside of the sanitarium I'm pretty convinced that that's the best way to treat him. even the times where his abilities are relevant they're not amazing. usually they just shut down something like a sylcan library or draw me a card or 2 from them killing him a couple times.
Sorry for the double post, just now saw this 2nd place on mtgtop8, not in a big tournament, only 21 players and first place was Queen Marchesa, but just happy to see that some fresh blood is making the top of tournaments and our deck isn't completely dead.
It felt like everyone gave up on the deck, cause nothing new was posted here in a while. The list is creature light from what I saw, only 10 creatures, only best of the best and some card choices strike me as odd, for example Brain in a Jar, but I guess it worked for them.. ^^
But I guess the more control oriented list is the one that is posting results.
I think the reason discussion has stopped isn't because Leovold is bad. There just isn't much more to discuss until we see a few lists on top8.
So some new tech discovered recently (mainly for the control version), but Standstill has the potential to be a very strong option vs most decks..

Would you say Primeval Titan's place in the deck largely depends on whether you're playing the Dark Depths/Vesuva combo or not? Because a 20/20 indestructible flyer seems awfully tempting with this change.
I read an article by Matt Sperling sometime ago about a BG Eldrazi/Delirium deck. I thought it was a cute idea, and Emrakul really is very powerful. Why not?
Commander could be Sidisi, Brood Tyrant but some alterations would have to be made. Chose Leovold, Emissary of Trest simply because of the interactions he has with drawing cards and being CMC 3 instead of CMC 4.
Another theme I was trying to go with was a cheaper Emrakul, the Promised End and a bigger Tarmogoyf, but I still have to see how much Tasigur, the Golden Fang and Gurmag Angler interfere with that. With the amount of self-mill I had, I decided that some flashback spells were better than other versions with the same effect.

vesuva and dark depths doesn't work the way you want it to. you need thespian stage for that.
Yes of course. I meant Thespian's Stage. Always mixing those two up. Thanks!
If Dark Confidant is to risky there is always Phyrexian Arena... I mean it costs 1 more black mana and isn't a creature, but it's draw that costs 1 life and is in that regard less risky... also we have acces to both Mirri's Guile and Sylvan Library, so overall with those and other cards like Brainstorm I think Dark Confidant should be alright...
If Top gets unbanned it wil make it even smoother, but wil have to see where the unbanning are heading first before can say really if we can add it or not, seeing as the only reason its banned is time issues in competitive play.. ^^
I dunno really how good Emrakul or Goyf are in this deck, I was thinking of adding Grim Flayer myself, which also actually fuels those 2... ^^
Imo Divert is a bit to narrow overall to be added to the deck, but that is my opinion, never was a fan of that or Misdirection in my testing, but with going to 20 life they might have more merit I guess... ^^ Would Gurmag Angler not better be Tombstalker??
Neither Bob nor Arena. The "look X and take 1" spells are more value... Tested and liked Mirri's Guile a lot. I thought I'd never use it but it came the time. If we had top it would be better but since we don't. Also, Tombstalker is the better Gurmag Angler.
@balangaz do you have a list? I'm interested to see the direction you took with Sidisi (maybe post in the Sidisi, Brood Tyrant thread so we don't derail the conversation here). Thanks!

Playing with proxied cards at sanctioned events is good, actually.
Does anyone have been playing Leovold recently? I've seen it's not as popular on mtgtop8 as it was before. I have a list that I've been using for edh, but want to focus it towards duel now.
Yes, many of the cards you mention are there because it is a multiplayer list: mana crypt, vampiric turotr, carpet of flowers and kokusho. Also, it,s the reason I have so few lands.
I am looking to shift to a duel list since I am rarely playing multiplayer these days, and there are duel tournaments twice a week on a local game store. I have the cards for duel too but I just need some time to build the deck.
LOL.... Only just now noticed you had Noble Hierarch and Kitchen Finks in your list, which isn't legal, due to color restrictions in Commander... Hierarch makes white mana, which isn't in our colors and Finks has white mana in it's casting cost...
The "only know noticing it now" is the key there. At the time I posted this link it was for a commander list but now it's a Highlander list. Notice how it has no Commander. The DC List couldn't beat Grixis Vial so it just wasn't viable.

Him being our commander led to some cards making the cut, like Divert and Misdirection, as well as the lands package - Cephalid Coliseum and Geier Reach Sanitarium. We also have an Intuition package but without Intuition...

Dark Confidant probably shouldn't be in the same deck as Emrakul, the Promised End, Tasigur, the Golden Fang or Gurmag Angler but we should live a little. Perhaps too little...
Yes of course. I meant Thespian's Stage. Always mixing those two up. Thanks!

Blue lives don't matter in the slightest.
