I guess my take is

• it's $9. People do like it

• it's not on radar because it's just green doing green thing of getting big. It has the same energy and response of zopandrek and unnatural growth.

• it's not anything that usually ends the game on turn it hits. Like the new voga in pioneer needs one combat to get massive damage. This needs a little more buildip. It's like a nerfed cathar crusade, but with less infinite combos (if they exist at all)

I think your deck is on the right track, but needs differing utility.

I agree with taida that your curve is high, and thus would necessitate deck manipulation to achieve those or replacements altogether.

Ashiok is a weird choice, only because she exiles and takes two turns to have the good effect. I would just generic mill or destruction in its place. Thieve guild enforcer is low and gets the trigger.

I would recommend looking at the old rogue challenger deck from 2021 as it has a lot of cards to let you steal cards. Their gimmick has a lot of milk cards. www.moxfield.com/decks/zZHIVTZIEUqZcj2kOZPy0A

Kind of crazy to see this forum from the future.

The cEDH landscape has altered and sped up so much a lot of what's said doesn't hold as much water.

• Narset is still weak, but suffers a lot of the same issues as stuff like Winota where a lot is based on RNG. Other commanders also do what she does but better like Elsha.

• stax is pretty good these days only because a lot of decks just go so fast. You can also have a silver bullet that stops so many people at the table you can run it: rule of law, torpor orb, cursed totem, null rod etc.

• stax is also no longer as much slow boring death, as a lot of decks can quickly get their wincon after shutting down opponents. i remember when I used to run a zur deck with lots of control, but now I've had to pivot to more stax as the game sped up and to maintain card advantage.

• being invisible/not the threat is kind of a winning strategy in any edh power level.

• teferi's still a good t2 deck. Kind of uses the philosophy as above. Not the threat. Same with godo, tatyova etc.
