This is my first attempt at building a Tiny Leaders deck so I went with an obvious choice. I haven't had a real opportunity to try it out yet but will be getting it ready for a tournament next month. I have read some articles about this new format but not much else so I don't really know what the meta is like. I could really use any advice especially with respect to the Sideboard if there is anything I've overlooked. Other cards that I was considering I put into the Maybeboard so please check there as well.

The basic strategy behind the deck is to aggressively control the board using your 8 cheap counter spells and 7 pieces of varied removal to answer any threats that may have slipped through. The core of the deck is 10 draw spells which should be capable of finding the gas needed to keep the pedal to the metal.

What the deck really boils down to is one of your 3 threats Geist of Saint Traft, True-Name Nemesis or Celestial Colonnade sticking on the board. Once you've depleted their resources and taken control you can deploy one of them. The deck is armed with a selection of powerful swords & an amazing aura to ensure chunks are cleaved from your opponent very quickly.

I have centered a package around Stoneforge Mystic to take advantage of the varied protection from the different swords. There is also Enlightened Tutor which can find any of the swords or even Steel of the Godhead to make certain that your beater is going to connect. The rest of the tutor package includes Sensei's Divining Top, Oblivion Ring or Detention Sphere but the sideboard is geared to take advantage as well.

Thanks for taking the time to look, I really appreciate it...I also am open to any an all constructive criticism. If you have any ideas or suggestions please let me know. There's no doubt that I've overlooked a few things.
