Pretty solid. Better start than most decks with this many swords. I strongly urge you to consider Sword of Feast and Famine, and Mystical Tutor. Nothing is more satisfying than using the tutor to get a Hallowed Burial right after an Atarka player mercs somebody and is about to do the same to you! The sword meanwhile allows you to attack and then counter their next spell.

Also consider Rewind and definitely something to use excess lands when nobody manages to kill your commander. A card that I play with Zedruu is Seer's Sundial.

The last card that i'm not sure is going in my EDH decks is Ojutai's Command. It can grab back a Stoneforge Mystic or Mother of Runes (MoR is in the new duel decks featuring Elspeth and Kiora I believe).

Did Not put in Venser, the Sojourner, tsk tsk.

Gads, I didn't even consider Venser but that's actually a wonderful idea. Now to work again!

What about Elspeth, Knight-Errant as well? It makes tokens, jumps them, and could make all your stuff indestructible.

I think you're right, she's too tempting to pass up, and works so well within the context of the deck. Finding room for her now.

How about take out an island because 37 lands seems like a lot in a deck where you want more spells than anything else, also your max CMC is six so loosing one of 14 islands won't kill your deck.

I was tossing around the higher mana count based on some discussion I had with a fellow I lent it out to, but I also had a little different mana rock configuration. I already found room for Elspeth, how about Academy Rector for the sub instead? Powering her out into a wrath into Humility seems both really feasible and really potent.

I second that motion especially in a control deck like this where 1/1 tokens are your main means of attack. With all these tokens it may be advantageous to put an anthem like effect in like Cathars' Crusade because Humility doesn't effect +1/+1 counters (because Humility hits you too), or Glorious Anthem. But even without those the deck seems quite good with all the token assault/Ojutai beatings.

If you are running blue you MUST run Bribery. Goddamn near all commander decks run a ridiculous fatty you want to steal

April 20, 2015 7:38 p.m.

Bribery for Batterskull? The skull is good at supporting Ojutai and being a relevent threat but the bribe is a relevent threat that deprives my opponent.

i would switch out Timetwister for it, as much as it helps you, timetwister will also give your opponents options too, even options to counter the spells you just drew

April 21, 2015 11 a.m.

Timetwister has a possibility of backfiring, sure, but usually it wins me the game if it resolves so I think I'll keep it onboard for right now.
