This was a deck for the West Coast Commander League. I'd never seen Barrin, Master Wizard as a commander before. And I was interested in trying to make him work. I took an artifact-heavy control approach that accounted for itself pretty well. Spine of Ish Sah is a fun Magic card. Also, Cowardice turns out to be kind of crazy when matched up against a deck that is all-in on Feather, the Redeemed.
