I started getting into duel commander during Khans of Tarkir. I have always loved the Sultai clan--if not for the efficiency, then for the flavor. Aggro-control decks, as well as draw-go decks, have also been my favorite decks to play. Once I saw Tasigur, the Golden Fang in Fate Reforged, I could finally put the two together and have a competitive deck. Of course, it was a broken card, and I am both a glad and disappointed that it was banned (but disappointed only for selfish reasons).
Anyhow, I was wondering if anyone else has had any success with a Sultai control deck post ban.
Here is what I'm using currently, and I will accept any tips, criticisms, or recommendations. Also, feel free to ask any questions if I included something that seems stupid or makes no sense.
The Birthing Pod is just an experiment for the moment. I think I'm more likely to cut it than keep it.
Also, I am sorry for the mediocre organization and lack of a great explanation. I would have spend more time on it, but I had the urge to post this on the same night that I had to wrote two essays, and didn't want to wait to do a better job.

Currently, I have a Wydwen, the Biting Gale deck, but I really want to use Vorosh, the Hunter (or Damia, Sage of Stone). I'm not sure if running Vorosh over Damia is logical, but I thought that it might make Life from the Loam more consistent, albeit less powerful.
