Welcome to my tribal tempo deck!

This deck wins by keeping your opponents threats off the board and finishing them off with many hits from tiny, evasive spirits or a couple hits from Geist of Saint Traft. Rattlechains makes winning a lot easier since it allows you to hold up counter-magic and then flash in evasive creatures before your turn starts. Be careful though; you don't want to tap out for a creature when you think your opponent wants to cast something at instant speed afterwards.

Updates and Improvements

I put in 2x Spell Snare since my turn 1 plays were suboptimal and the only tier 1 deck Spell Snare is especially weak against is Tron. I also anticipate more jund decks since the unbanning of BBE and hopefully that means the return of Goyfs and the like.

Went down 1x Spirit of the Labyrinth for another Blessed Alliance since Leyline of Sanctity doesn't help against creature-heavy aggro decks and the life gain and sacrifice modes on Blessed Alliance help a lot more. Also, Spirit of the Labyrinth only helped in a few cases such as going up against U-Turns.

Missing a couple fetches and a shock just because they're a bit pricey; despite this I haven't had major issues with mana and usually have 3 blue sources by the time I have 4 lands in case I need to cast Cryptic Command. I also want to get an Eiganjo Castle since I have Geist of Saint Traft in the deck.

Thanks for reading!
