Fewer Boardwipes —April 25, 2018

Not adding any cards from Dominaria. Only Baird, Steward of Argive is on theme really. He only taxes opponents 1 mana which just isn't enough in Commander. Same reason Archangel of Tithes isn't in the deck.

Experimenting with fewer boardwipes in the deck as typically I don't need to mass remove creatures. I typically want to redirect them as opposed to destroying them. I am keeping Merciless Eviction and Austere Command because of their flexibility. Sometimes there is a troublesome permanent type I just need to get rid of.

Wrath of God + Hallowed Burial ---> Word of Seizing + Diabolic Tutor: I found myself missing Word of Seizing after taking it out previously. It really is a great Threaten effect. I've put Diabolic Tutor in to help with the "toolbox" feel of the deck, being able to grab what I need in the moment.

Hello! great list, i have been considering on build a deck inspired on this list, but on my group is much less competitive, do you recommend replacing some cards that doesnt do well on my meta like price of progress, for other stuff on the notable exclusions like crackling doom that works excellent on my group?

Curious what you think about Baird, Steward of Argive

I know he's just a bad windborne muse, but he does stack another likeliness to draw a disincentive for opponents to hit us.
