Nagoto, I know what you mean about Talrand and Docent. I haven't figured out if Talrand is worth it in my deck either, but I do like generating the drakes. I have Drake Haven in my deck and it amazes me how much work it does, so I tend to like keeping Talrand in for the same effect. I don't love Docent because there isn't as much synergy there as Talrand, but that might be specific to my deck. Really love where you went with this, though.

Nagoto I also cut those from my deck as they did not perform as welll as expected.

pyroblade5 do you have a link to your deck? curious what you put in place over Talrand and Docent.

It was Whirlpool Drake and Whirlpool Rider

Unlike a lot of builds I went with shuffle effects rather than strait wheel effects. Granted there are a few wheel effects but more one sided. I also run a lot more and varied removal than I see in a lot of lists. I tend to soft lock the board then swing in with overwhelming numbers. Still trying to fit in Mindwrack Liege because 3/3 fliers are terrifying
