capwner, Likewise. Nice to meet you as well. Thank you so much for the awesome breakdown and recommendations! Definitely going to the LGS soon and hunting some cards down. I'll get what I can find (or afford lol) and update the deck list when I get the edits done. This adds new layers to the strategy that I haven't considered. I like how there are artifacts that could allow a Rhystic Study style of taxing- slightly different but probably even more effective with Kayla's ability. Never would have thought of that in a million years. Thanks again for the awesome recommendations, and opening my eyes to better cards for the deck. And I'll be sure not to run Spirit of the Labyrinth lol.

Only complaint is it isn't titled "Last March of The Ents", although I do appreciate its inclusion in this deck!
Good list man!

I've seen Kayla before and she can be super powerful! She lends herself to a stax build, since effects like Trinisphere or Sphere of Resistance don't slow Kayla's ability down at all but can greatly hamper your opponents. White of course has lots of great oppressive cards like Drannith Magistrate, Spirit of the Labyrinth, Archon of Emeria, Aven Mindcensor, High Noon, etc. If you want to go up against stronger decks I think you need these sort of effects to disrupt powerful opposing strategies while you gradually ramp up on value. I would try to focus on fast mana to get her up and running quick, then try to get as many bomb 1-2-3 drops as possible so maybe replacing stuff like Hedgewitch's Mask and Gimli's Axe with the aforementioned staxier cards, also cards like Illusionist's Bracers and Rings of Brighthearth for maximum Kayla value. Thousand-Year Elixir is nice for any cmmdr with a tap ability. I do like your combo finisher, Inventors' Fair could be a good tutor option if you want to go for all-perms. I think these latter cards would be good includes regardless of what your overall goal with activating Kayla is! GL with the build :)
EDIT: Maybe don't run Spirit of the Labyrinth XD

Thanks for the kind words. I started collecting with 4th Edition, right after all the 93/94 Old School sets. I used to play Magic in math class with friends' copies of unsleeved Power 9, LoA, Duals, etc. I distinctly remember someone trading a Black Lotus, Time Walk, and Chaos Orb for one copy of Merfolk Assassin, which was supposedly exceedingly rare. It's worth $1.50 today.
I've never heard that Cursed Scroll story, but it sounds similar to the Mike Long/Prosperous Bloom story where he bluffed having a Drain Life in hand after accidentally siding out his only copy and winning the match with no win-con in his deck.

BenniatorCongrats on scoring the Scrolls for that price! Envious but always love to hear someone got on the train at a good time for things like that. I understand your POV on it, and you ultimately know the deck better than I, so I defer to your knowledge there. I only had a couple instances where I thought: "Well, I'm empty ... sure wouldn't mind a Cursed Scroll and a top-deck Fireblast right now" lol. Tempest was the first set I actively started buying, so I've got lots of fond memories of THAT one-two punch!
Speaking of ... tell me if you've ever heard this old urban legend: A player had an empty hand and a Scroll on the table with their opponent down to 6 life. Upon drawing, he finds only a Mountain, but instead of naming it - he acts 100% as if he has drawn a Fireblast instead. Supposedly, as the legend goes, he activates the Scroll, holding up the Mountain with the back of the card facing his opponent, and says: "I'll Cursed Scroll you, naming Fireblast." His opponent, knowing that combination means it's curtains and he's finished, scoops up his cards without actually LOOKING to see if the named card is indeed what the Scroll player is indeed holding. Further, the Scroll player was said to have never revealed this bluff to the opponent, relying instead on the concession to seal the deal.
I'm curious to see who else has heard this.
I personally am a HUGE fan of Price of Progress in any matchup where nonbasic lands are nearly the whole of the law...and Premodern is definitely a lot like Legacy and Vintage in that way. I currently hang out, for the most part, playing a format called 93/94 Oldschool, but your deck here is 100% made up of cards that were in Standard (then called "Type 2") when I was a much younger man and playing weekly down at FNM events, etc. I was quite enamored to see Browbeat getting some love - myself and one other person I know are the only two people I have ever seen touting it as useful. Most folks I talk to are dismissive of it, so kudos for having what I call "the extra brain cells" to appreciate it! It's one of those "Sophie's Choice" sorta things in the right hands ... draw 3, which you don't want this deck or a deck full of haste creatres/burn to be doing...or take 5 to the face. Neither of them are great options lol.

Thanks. The original version of this deck had Cursed Scrolls. I was lucky and bought them a few years ago when they were about $40 per playset. They're great, but they can be a bit slow in this deck. Cursed Scroll could be a good sideboard card in grindy matchups, maybe worth a spot over Price of Progress. Flame Rift is great value and the 4 damage to yourself isn't as big of a deal when you're hitting your opponent for 3-6 damage per turn. Think of it like a red Suicide Black deck.

I think you can ramp with creatures like "Wood Elves" or "Summon: Fenrir" rather than with sorceries like "cultivate" or "explosive vegetation" for example. It's more mana expensive but you'll have better synergy with your commander. ;)

Mainboard Naturalize is kind of a hedge vs stuff like Cursed Scroll which makes life really difficult and ray can't clear it. Could ofc run Disenchant or Seal of Cleansing, I picked naturalize though because white is my main color, so if they give something pro-green in rsp I'll at least be able to still block it.

Thanks for the interest and suggestions artcwolf22! You could certainly consider cutting green, my pauper build of Tribe is Azorius w/ red splash however pauper allows access to Dizzy Spell for tutoring and premodern does not. The big reason green is here is for Eladamri's Call, this finds both halves of the combo plus the other stuff in our toolbox. I think cutting this and playing a jeskai build may improve mana but will hurt the reliability of finding the combo/keepable 7 which is a big deal for this deck. That's the main reason I just said screw it and went for 5c...if you know anything good to replace Eladamri's while staying in Jeskai I'd love to hear about it! The other green stuff like roar of the wurm has been a little lukewarm yeah, but still it's enough to ein sometimes and because of Quiet Speculation I think I need to keep them for the backup beatdown.

I really like this deck. I underestimated how strong tireless tribe could be with About Face and the dwarf until I goldfished a few t3 wins.
Would you think a deck could removing green for better consistency? Wild mongrel and roar of the worm seems like a different deck. However, naturalize is great in the format, although I wouldn't mainboard it (your ray of revelation does its job).
If a similar deck removed green, blue you have access to waterfront bouncer and a 3/1 blue thing.
My modern / EDH brain just always defaults to better color consistency.

Good suggestions all. The only issue is that I do not have 4 Patrician Geist. As to the rest, while I am not a fan of Counterspells (personal opinion/play-style) I could absolutely make it less creature heavy by replacing a few with more Removal and Prison features.

Wow! And I thought Assemble the Legacy was dumb. This blows my Sram's Excaliburs out of the water. You've actually outdone yourself. The perfect deck is the one that can beat itself and this deck is more than capable of doing that. Machiavelli was right. It is better to feared than loved if you cannot be both.

Dress Down would be an alternative to Torb that works with moonshadow but would probably require a whole redesign just to use the blue

I second kamarupas advice. I’d like to add it’s possible to double up and have both a body and utility. Something like Malevolent Hermit comes to mind. You’ve got a decent counterspell in waiting that can later be Disturbed for another spirit to take advantage of your +1/+1 anthem effects, all in a single card.

If you want it to be more competitive/less casual, you can improve consistency by limiting the decklist to fewer creatures and more copies of key creatures. It seems to me the core theme of the deck is the Disturb mechanic, so I think your most important creature is Patrician Geist and you have run 4x copies of that. Really, you should try to include 4x copies of the best creatures, and cut some of the lesser creatures.
I can appreciate the desire to be creature heavy, but I'd like to encourage you to cut back from 32 to 26. 26 creatures would still be a very creature heavy deck, but would have room for a few more utility spells, namely a minimum of 4x removal spells and maybe a couple of copies of Pull from Eternity, so even if a creature that you've cast for it's Disturb cost is removed, you can still bring it back. That can really mess with opponent's heads and make them feel like they can't stop you no matter what you do.
And of course, so more dual lands is always good. You don't have many 1 drop spells, so maybe Temple of Enlightenment could be useful. I usually like to include a utility land or two, as well, like Scavenger Grounds or Field of Ruin.
I hope maybe something I've suggested is useful. Have fun!
