I love seeing another Talrand user. +1 from me! How has your inclusion of Mox Diamond and Chrome Mox working for you? If you get them in your starting hand they seem great, otherwise, useless.

A couple suggestions...

Disallow - Very useful and versatile

Memory Lapse - With Isochron scepter ;)

Misdirection - Much better than it looks!

Rewind - Im assuming this build is multiplayer? If so, this is a must.

Blatant Thievery - I don't run any real "finishers" or "combos" in my deck. So this card usually helps seal the deal.

Overburden - SO USEFUL. Note: Does not affect tokens.

If you have some time, feel free to check out my competitive deck Tisk Tisk Talrand for some other ideas.

Hi. I think tunning net positive mana rocks is extremely important. I would run Mana Crypt as well if I had the budget for one in this list.

I am not too fond of counterspells with CMC 3 or higher. Not often I can keep open that much mana. Memory lapse is in the list already. If my budget for this deck was bigger I would add Flusterstorm/FoW.

My wincon of choice is using Mass Polymorph or Synthetic Destiny to cheat my creatures into play. I don't think I need another finisher.

I like Overburden a lot, looking to find room for it.

I get that its important, but your losing 2 cards for one. In the case of Mox Diamond, you can just play the land instead of discarding it and making a mana source that is prone to artifact destruction. I get it can help with early Talrand, but what do you do when you draw it late game?

I get that, just thought you might want another one was well. Once people know what your wincon is, they can just use Jester's Cap or Card:Sadistic sacrament among other cards to get rid of them before you draw them.

Moreover, I used to run Mana Crypt but it often killed me more times than my opponents did.
