IT'S DEATHTOUCH ALL THE WAY DOWN, BAYBEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

I've been wanting to change up my old Thantis, the Warweaver deck for a while now, and the reveal of Xira, the Golden Sting as a DMU box-topper was exactly what I was looking for in a Commander and the kick in the teeth needed to actually gut and rebuild the thing. Because of this, some choices might seem a tad bizarre for this deck style but also now I have the power to grant Etali deathtouch AND FLY IN THE FACE OF GOD BECAUSE OF IT, so I'm keeping them in.

Some of the best cards in the deck include: Hooded Blightfang, Fynn, the Fangbearer, and Vraska, Swarm's Eminence - your classic DT payoffs Zagras, Thief of Heartbeats & Archetype of Finality - omni-DT granters Berserkers' Onslaught & Arlinn Kord   - funky evasion granters Chevill, Bane of Monsters, Leyline Prowler, Hornet Queen & God-Eternal Rhonas - top-tier touchy bois

Oh and yes, Zhur-Taa Ancient is in here. Funny, innit?
