Oh ! I'd totally forgotten these !

I'm going to put them in along with Reverberate and Break Through the Line :)

Extra combat steps, this is what you need. A friend of mine runs a Narset deck and he abuses from extra combat steps. Stuff like Fury of the Horde Relentless Assault, Seize the Day, World at War. He also runs a few creatures that can help like Aurelia, the Warleader. And whynot Gideon, Champion of Justice because wipe. And Omniscience of course

This is Commander, correct? Unless you will be playing 1 vs. 1, I think that you will be the first target. I know from all the commander games that I've played, the person who has a lot of counterspells is the first one ganged up on. Remember to not underestimate opponents; they're good enough to be in the tournament, too. Try a few group hug cards, and less counterspells.

cbalpha068 it's said in the description it's a duel commander so yes it's meant to 1x1

This is a 1v1 Deck (I should've stated it more clearly, my bad).

So going the full Extra turns/combat steps/voltron road isn't a good strategy. Of course when i play multiplayer, that's the build I use (extra combat steps + Umezawa's Jitte, Eldrazi Conscription, etc.) and the game is over in only one attack from Narset since she combos off my entire deck in one blow.

But when i face only one opponent, I need to choke him early-game with "aggressive" counters to keep his board state as low as possible. Then I get Narset out, try to hit a Planeswalker and win the game with them. Sometimes it even goes the other way: Control => Planeswalker that can control like Tamiyo, the Moon Sage => Narset

This strategy is less fun (tried both in 1v1) but is much more viable in Duel-Commander.

But I'm open to debate this statement. I'm the only one playing Narset in my lgs so I never saw other builds perform in 1v1 and all the builds I can find point in the same direction: full control suite + Planeswalkers (Wafo-Topa's list for example)

@lil_cheez: Thank you for the suggestions !

I thought about running one or two extra combat spells but just didn't know what to cut so that it doesn't weaken the control gameplan.

I'd totally forgot about Omniscience, it's broken, but I think it's too dependant on Narset's ability to be casted. And unlike other really expensive spells I'm running (Time Stretch i.e.) it's not an automatic game winning card it being a permanent. But I'll try it out during the week just to be sure ! :)

Any thoughts on using Inexorable Tide to abuse loyalty counters on your planeswalkers? Makes hitting meaningful ultimates very easy.

Thank you for the comment.

However, Inexorable tide is a dead draw when you're trying to survive the early game. In a multiplayer/combo shell, it's an awesome addition though.
