+Mind Twist
-Sultai Charm

Sultai charm was mainly in as chance spot removal but it wasn't doing its job. Too many multicolored creatures. Trying out mind twist, this may turn to a hymn to tourach if I feel like I want a cheaper spell.

In 3 games I've played Mind Twist has been great thus far.

I also have a Tasigur, the Golden Fang and Seasons Past control deck... except yours is much better looking :) I like your choice of using a creature reanimation strategy, instead I went heavier on planeswalkers and board wipes. Using Training Grounds to discount Tasigur seems like a good plan, I think i'm going to have to get me one of those.

I only have a couple suggestions for you..

  • Using Thing in the Ice  Flip as a way to stall the board into the late game has been quite effective for me. It would be even better with ways to reanimate it.

  • Torrential Gearhulk is a card I want for my list, yours could probably use it too.

  • Your build is very combo oriented, so you may not want to have to wait around to win with a 20/20 indestructible flying creature... but Dark Depths and Thespian's Stage could be great in this deck. Plus, you can occasionally copy Cabal Coffers too.

Here is a link to my deck for your convenience. You'll notice the name of your deck is hilariously similar to mine, that's why I clicked on this deck in the first place.

Tasigur's home in Seasons Past was Cabals Coffers

+1 for your work here. Thanks.

@Rzepkanut thanks for the suggestions. The deck is tuned to be able to have as much interaction as I can budget on turn 2-4 while still holding the game plan in place. The mana base is actually quite a sticky thing and adding in two lands that do not tap for colorless just doesn't work. Also keeping the CMC of spells down is quite huge, this puts Gearhulk out of the running simply as holding up 6 cmc to be able to only flashback instants is not quite as useful. Most of the instants are lower CMC and Snapcaster hits both instants and sorceries. Thing in the Ice however is card I haven't really considered yet. It seems like a good spot for something to gum up the ground. This has some potential but only in creature based games. There maybe something here but I suspect that in cEDH games it won't have the same impact as it does in more aggro formats.

I'll think about it and get back to you.

Also this deck originally started out as a battlecruiser deck trying to use Seasons Past.

http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/seasons-of-tasigur-past/ This is the original list I created. I found that the deck was super strong in 1v1 games and started trying to play the deck competitive. It then got a tune up and around, getting some reanimation from dies-to-doomblade's Tasigur primer but then trying to hold the control aspect that I originally had in my mind. I then had a few friends who were more into cEDH that helped me get things like my manabase in order.
