This is my take on Baral, Chief of Compliance.

I love slinging spells and making them cheaper. I love to draw cards and have always loved playing control and answering my opponents threats, so when Baral was spoiled, I knew that I would one day make him. Here we are now, I've finally built him. he is still in the draft stages and would love tips, advice, or suggestions. Thanks in advance!

The main game plan is pretty self evident. Play the control game until late game when I can land a win condition or steal/copy an opponent's win-con.

Turnabout > Hinder

In this update I mostly changed out cards that felt slow to me. I wanted more counterspells and I wanted to try out some different board wipes, as the ones I had before often felt bad to cast or didn't do enough. This is also why I took out High Tide and Turnabout, they didn't feel like they did enough and were often left sitting in my hand because I'm not using them to combo, nor do I have any real big mana pay-offs.
