This is pretty close to a conglomeration of what I have been able to find on competitive lists on the interwebs for CVT.

For those not aware of how the deck works, please go over the tapped out link below as it is a great primer.

Trying to be as competitive as possible, took a lot of inspiration from sigi from laboratorymaniacs list---- http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/chain-veil-teferi/

The few differences in lists-- I am trying to use walking ballista as my back up outlet of choice instead of stroke of genius. This allows me to win without having to use timetwister loops (which is great when you dont have one). My planeswalker outlet of choice has been Jace MS due to his ability to help me dig for cards as well as control my opponents draws in 1V1. I have given some thought to using Ugin instead due to his ability to gun down other dorks, but for now JMS is where I am standing.

Now trying out the following changes as of 1/27/18-- out-- Stasis, Fellwar Stone, and Spell Pierce. In-- Search for Azcanta  , Dispel, and Mind Stone.

Reasoning-- Stasis is incredibly hard to break parity on unless I have teferi on board (in which case I usually win anyway). Spell pierce can be really great to hit other non creature spells but dispel wins counter wars and interaction. period. Mind stone is functionally very similar to fellwar stone but if I need to dig and cash in a card I can. Search for Azcanta is very experimental but it is a great way to generate card advantage and if the game goes long, being able to impulse repeatedly is great.

Still have a few proxies/stand ins:

The tabernacle at pendrell vale..... I will never buy/find so it will be forever proxied. If I play in an event I will slot in either an island or scavenger ground.

Timetwister... possibly the same boat... too much cash. Can use days undoing for a much worse similar effect.
