Deck Remaster, and Moving to Moxfield —May 20, 2020
The deck and primer have been updated and also moved to Moxfield where the main list will now be posted. Here is the Moxfield list: https://www.moxfield.com/decks/rRTQZ6bk1EKOwCfBTntf1Q.
The deck has also had somewhat of a mini overhaul. The main change is the removal of the back up loop with Call to Mind and Not Forgotten. This loop was cut in favour of card quality, and I had yet to actually use it in the games I've played. There are some other changes that you will notice like the cutting of Narset, Parter of Veils which was hard to protect given our creature light build. Also the relevant Hulk hate cards have been taken out (RIP Flash).
I might still update this list as time goes on given I know that some people like tapped out, but for the most recent updates, please refer to the Moxfield link as I will prioritize that list first. Cheers.
First of all, thanks to put Taigam back to the place it deserves at cEDH database.
I noticed that there is a mistake in the backup plan (or something that i'm missing): Mission Briefing + Call to Mind does not interact as you stated there since Taigam only gives rebound to instants and sorcery spells you cast from your hand but call to mind is cast from graveyard.
How good is Lavinia performance? i tested for a time but i ended removing her from the list since as soon as my opponents gets their second land almost every single card they play will go through Lavinia.
Finally GAAIV can be a great addition to the list if you want to go for the stax route.

Kokuryuha, you're totally right about the Mission Briefing line - my mistake. I was really hoping we could run the deck without those regrowth spells. I have slotted in Not Forgotten and updated the back up loop description. I think this is the next best thing. I has hoping there would be some kind of loop with either Mission Briefing or Narset's Reversal, but I don't think there is.

Kokuryuha As for Lavinia, it's been working really well in my meta, but that's purely due to the decks I'm playing against. If you feel it's not preforming, pull her out. The thing about this list is that pretty much all the stax effects are flexible, so feel free to customize it to your needs. I tried to make the main board here pretty good for most metas, but YMMV. I also added GAAIV to the maybe board as well. It's a bit slow for my personal liking/meta, and with 4 mana I almost always want to start getting out Taigam and looking for a win.
