I just finished putting together my seventh TL deck, but this is my favorite. I have the most invested in it, I've playtested it the most, and I fee the most confident in it. So I figured I'd share it here, both for feedback, and maybe to brag a little. A little introduction: when I first heard the concept of TL my first question was, "What about X spells?" Death Cloud has always been one of my favorite MTG cards and I've wanted to see it competitive in a format again. A new format, and Death Cloud seems particularly potent here. So here's the current decklist, after much playtesting against a slew of other decks.
I intend to eventually acquire Bayou to cut a swamp, Ancient Tomb in place of Crystal Vein, and Twilight Mire over another swamp, maybe? Coalition Relic can replace the Charcoal Diamond. Maga, Traitor to Mortals I want to squeeze in somewhere, along with Pox. Both are basically win conditions, and I do want to make room. The format just has such little room to trim from; I suspect these will end up being meta calls. Might squeeze some removal over into the board or something. Anyway, suggestions, comments, etc?
Commander: Skullbriar, the Walking Grave
