Once, this was a Narset, Enlightened Master deck. It was grand, it was gorgeous, and it was a blast to play. Casting tons of things each turn without paying their mana costs? Sign me up! It wasn't broken by any definition, and as Narset decks went, it was on the lower side of power level. I wasn't interested in breaking the commander and making it un-fun for other players - I just loved the flavor of the card, and it was highly different from any of the other creature-heavy mostly tribal decks that I had.

But, after getting super hard targeted literally every time I played the deck against anyone who had experienced Narset before, it became quite annoying to play it. I admit, it was powerful, but not in any insane sort of way. There was just this bias against Narset that I had no idea existed when I built the deck.

And so this deck sat on the shelf for a long time, but then Elsha of the Infinite was released, and that made my heart happy. It's similar in flavor, and has a pretty sweet ability while also not being OP whatsoever. There are certainly ways to build it to be OP, but that's not my goal. I just wanna have a fun time casting a bunch of non-creature spells.

This time around, however, I took out all of the extra turn cards and added a ton more mana ramp than previously was in the deck. No one likes an extra turn player, and honestly, I never liked playing them that much anyway. Not the type of player I want to be.

The main focus of the deck is still there, But now it's much more focused on "X" spells than it was before, and I took out some of the planeswalkers that I had added in.

TL;DR: Fair Narset!
