[Mid] Tetsuko: Spikes Spikes Spikes

Commander / EDH Infect Mono-Blue Unblockable

Designed for mid-power games as defined by PlayEDH--very expensive cards and highly-efficient wincons are deliberately excluded.

My favorite commander is Yuriko. I've got two different Yuriko decks sleeved up and a few more saved as lists. One of my favorite things about Yuriko is her versatility--especially in mid-powered games, you have a lot of options for building a good Yuriko deck. Quietus Spike is a very good card in mid-powered Yuriko decks, but it gets outcompeted for card slots as you approach CEDH power levels. I wanted to build a deck that really goes all in with Quietus Spike; this is my first attempt.

Experience based on one night of play: For the pilot, this deck is similar to a Yuriko tempo deck but more straightforward. Tetsuko herself attracts less interference than I'd expected, which is probably largely a result of her cheap casting cost. There are much faster poison decks out there, but using poison at all draws a lot of attention; I suspect the deck needs either more or less of it. I haven't pulled out a win with it yet, but it can do a lot of damage very quickly. Quietus Spike, unfortunately, didn't come out once despite the deck's huge draw power, and I'm considering slotting in Fabricate.
