Thank you all for getting this deck to 100 votes. Hopefully some great deck ideas have been inspired by this.

thecakeisalie42 Yeah I'm aware it does, which is why I recommended it to him. He seems to think it can target your own permanents though. Or something. His response just made no sense with what the card actually does.

I'm not confused on what the card does or how it works. Government decks in general tend to draw early hate, making your opponents want to kill you in multiplayer first. I cast Council's Judgment letting me choose a target. Then my 3-4 opponents talk out which permanent they can exile between them and vote for that one. This makes it a dead card a lot of the time.

Council's Judgment is a great card but it's not great for a deck that draws as much hate as government decks in multiplayer.

Love Tim Hawkins. Great comedian. But an even better deck. +1 from me, man.

I'm considering dropping both Bruna, the Fading Light and Gisela, the Broken Blade for 2 more Luminarch Ascension.

As soon as I saw the title, I hoped it was a cryptic Tim Hawkins reference. I'm so glad I was right. I haven't heard this guys' stuff in ages.

Have you considered running fetchlands and Brainstorm? Brainstorm is possibly the best card in Legacy due to its insane ability to filter your cards.

I don't want to run too many non-basic lands because of Land Tax. They let me take a good portion of my lands out this deck. I keep the Land Tax in my deck as my "fetchlands". They also help provide synergy with Serra's Sanctum and Sphere of Safety.

Brainstorm is a great card but isn't as good for my concept of this deck. I want permanents for this deck instead of one use spells.
