My take on Talrand. This deck usually plays the same most games, control the board state until you get one or two of the heavy hitters out, usually through Polymorph or Proteus Staff , or if you have a giant token army and no one has an answer.

Game winners are typically Docent of Perfection  , Rite of Replication, or the odd Blatant Thievery , but generally it's a combination of a large effect in addition to the token army backed up by enough counterspells and bounce that the opponents simply can't stop them.

This deck takes time to win and it usually does, I've done what I can to increase it's lethality without compromising it's core mechanics. If it needs help anywhere, it's winning faster (creating less animosity toward it from my playgroup).
