This is my Tasigur deck that I have been working on for years. It was the first commander deck that I made and not it is the best commander deck that I own. I am looking to improve the deck since I cannot figure out what path I should take in improving the deck. Any advice is appreciated!

Why Tasigur

I chose Tasigur since it is a technically a 1 black drop commander. Tasigur is also able to help you politic with his graveyard recursion. Many people choose the Thrasios and a partner commander but I like to be different and try to use Tasigur. Thrasios is also not able to do graveyard recursion like Tasigur.

History of my Tasigur Deck

1. Delve: A delver deck that was horrible against board wipes and counter spells. It never really had a win conviction.

2. Reanimation Tasigur: Reanimate big threats and annoying things

3. Value Tasigur: Had expensive cards that were recurred by Tasigur to create a value engine

4. 4/16/2018 deck which was storm, control combo deck

5. What you see now

Paths to Victory

1. Creature beats (not advised).

2. Infinite Mana Dramatic Reversal, Reality Shift and Beast Within combo or infinite storm with Aetherflux Reservoir. There are other cards as well that are used one I obtain infinite mana.

3. Isochron Scepter (Swan Song) + Copy Artifact (Dramatic Reversal) which I took from The Laboratory Maniacs YouTube channel. (This is no longer in my deck)

Additional Information:

1. My local game store (LGC) meta does not have much in the realm of land destruction / blood moon effects. It is also not the most competitive store but we do have a couple that are.

2. One of my decks biggest weakness is agro decks that focus it, and heavy control decks (worse if they have played against my deck or if I am playing 1v1).

3. Sadly since the other people at the table know of my deck, they usually target me and make it a 2v1 essential.

4. For some reason, my deck seems inconsistent as of 4/15/2018.

Deck Update Log 4/16/2018:

4/16/2018 - Received advice from Cameron from the laboratory maniacs. I cannot stress enough how much he has helped me with the progression of my deck! He said the following: This looks quite a bit like a storm deck mashed into control Tasigur. This route is usually avoided as it really challenges the control plan. YOu need a really high density of control cards in order to guarantee interaction. All the storm cards don't really do much unless you are storming off.

Mind's Desire, High Tide, Dark Ritual and Lion's Eye Diamond really don't look like add to the control side of things. They definitely can help with the storm route but are dead-in-hand in most other situations.

Your ramp suite is a little interesting. Summer Bloom over Exploration/Burgeoning. Farseek over Nature's lore. I'm not sure what your goal with Prismatic Omen is, besides making Palinchron go off easier, it seems like a mostly non-impactful card. You may want to re-evaluate these.

One of the challenges of the Isochron scepter builds is that you can't just go all colorless for the Tasigur wins. You need a blue/green mana source that untaps with Reversal. Usually this is handled by more signets or mana dorks. Speaking of which, where are the mana dorks?

You may want to look into cutting the storm packages and adding Eldritch Evolution, Nezahal/Consecrated Sphinx, and Razaketh/Tidespout Tyrant. Razaketh can push for a win through dramatic reversal fairly quickly and Tidespout can do the same if you have the mana positive mana rocks. Nezahal or Consecrated Sphinx are additional options in case you aren't in a spot to win and need card advantage.

So with this advice I did the following.

Deck Update Log 8/30/2018:

8/30/2018 - After playing more in my meta, I noticed that notion thief was not having a large affect so I swapped it out for some remove in the for of EE. Copy artifact did not have many good targets early on so I thought that I would swap it out for Thought Vessel. Impulse was swapped out for the Rhystic Study so I could get more card draw since my meta is slower.

Removed:

1x Copy Artifact 1x Impulse 1x Notion Thief

Added:

1x Rhystic Study 1x Engineered Explosives 1x Thought Vessel
