This is me posting a big ol' thank you for such an amazingly in-depth primer and even decklist for what is now my favourite commander. Before I was struggling in a semi-casual commander league with Trostani, and now I've gone from going from 1-2 wins (three games a week) every three weeks to twice a week! I look forward to seeing this updated going forward.
EDIT: Also, what are your thoughts about Growing Rites of Itlimoc/Itlimoc, Cradle of the Sun? Obviously not many people have the money for a Gaeas Cradle, but do you see this worth subbing out a land or something for this?
One card I've recently put into my Trostani deck to fair success is the new Crested Sunmare. Getting an indestructable 5/5 token on -any- end step so long as you gained life(and when you have Trostani on the board, it's not 'if', it's 'when')? It's a great card in its own, doubly so if you can make copies of it since that makes the two of them indestructible too in addition to the tokens
I really appreciate the effort that been put into this build. I run Trostani myself, and I was dire for some new ideas for my deck as it had gone unupdated since Dragons. Thanks to your tips I've been able to win two out of my last six games in a commander league (Doesn't sound like much, but my local meta loves their infinite combos)
