The Obligatory Theros Beyond Death Upgrade —Dec. 15, 2020
This has always been a Flavor-First Deck.
So at the risk of powering this Commander down, I'm sure you all knew I HAD to include cards from the new set. I took out a lot of cards that I thought were super-strong in this deck (and recycled them elsewhere), but if I'm completely honest? This deck has not suffered any from it, in fact I came to find that the lower CMC of some of the new additions made it even more versatile because you can create tokens instead/faster :)
1.Cast Out
5.Leyline of the Void (yes it's a strictly better card, but Agent stays in for flavor :D)
9.Grave Pact (better suited in Ghave)
10.Hyena Umbra
16.Sun Titan
18.Underworld Connections (wonderful out of theors flavor card though, but I never actually used it in favor of token generation)
19.Sorin, Solemn Visitor (good card, but zero flavor and better suited elsewhere)
23.Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx (more or less still a good card in this deck for the white devotion, AND a flavor-card but I really need this in mono colored decks more urgently xD)
24.Elspeth, Knight-Errant (I thought long about this, but I literally never play her, she's just in for flavor and doesn't add anything to the gameplan. The NEW Elspeth on slot 19 however does, and I think one should be enough :) )
Thanks, I'll have to consider this. I've admittedly run dry with slots to remove from this deck at this point. In most cases I'd much rather spend the 3 mana to create a new Spirit token, than to pump them further, but I'll have to test how this goes when I find something to cut. :)

Conviction synergizes nicely with your commander.
