The current list is missing a number of the more expensive tutors, two rocks, and one of the time spells. That being said, the current list has a display avg CMC of 2.44 and alternative cost avg CMC of only 2.32, so reasonably the better list’s 2.35 is actually lower. The current list goldfish’s with an average combo turn 5.22
Not sure where the new list will stand once I’ve been able to afford the cards but by all accounts it’ll do better.
All of that essentially to say I think he’s strong enough to be a viable cEDH but will also admit will never be top of cEDH. Lack of black tutors and white being an underpowered color in EDH limit max power, we can recoup some of this with uncounterable counter spells but still puts the deck just a hair behind.
Beyond that, I’d say a lot of it also comes from what’s been talked about people liking what they’ve got and sticking to what they like instead of investing in a whole new deck to try it out.
Anyways, love my Taigam deck and if you do get notification for this hope it shares some insight from someone who has slowly built and pilots Taigam at cEDH
So this list isn’t where my deck is at the moment but the goal, meaning I can’t actually speak as to how well this version works ( http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/taigam-control-master-goal/?cb=1547623537 )
