Approaching the End —Oct. 3, 2020
I've been tinkering! I, uh, kinda lost track of all my updates over the whole pandemic season, but the most important ones +Approach of the Second Sun, Smothering Tithe, and Rhystic Study. I was comparing my old list to some new cEDH updated lists, mainly warddav16's Smothering Arbiter list here. I don't want to mimic the lists 1:1, as I don't play cEDH with my friends, just very highly tuned Commander, so I've kept a few meta choices. But if you're interested in a very well done deck write up, go check that list out, as it does really do pretty much perfectly what this list has always been striving for.
unwucht Thanks dude! I’m debating slotting in some new hate cards, an Approach of the Second Sun wincon, maybe retooling a few of the instants around. What specific things are you referencing in the “new meta”? Always up for thoughtful suggestions!

Archon of Emeria might be a decent card to slow things down even further and it comes with a flying body. So maybe it is considered to be worth the 3 CMC. Drannith Magistrate is my current personal hate card (who would prevent players from playing their commanders?) but is definitely fitting to this deck idea. Still, as this deck is not creature heavy and aims to not be, I am a bit unsure if those two cards would fit to your deck.

unwucht I think Archon isn’t strong enough, but I actually have a Hushbringer and a Magistrate in the mail. Actually thinking of cutting Umezawa’s Jitte as well for more room, it underperforms too often. Was also thinking of cutting Glen Elendra Archmage, Terminus, and/or Fact or Fiction. You’re correct on creature counts; I want to keep mine low.

Umezawa's Jitte is a good card, but I personally would be totally fine exchanging it with a third sword.

Hokori, Dust Drinker could be an excellent insert in this deck, even if it is a creature.

This is still one of my favourite EDH builds. Any plans to update the decklist to the current meta?
