I based my list for XHD off of yours, it has been quite fun. I was curious to hear your thoughts on Dark Petition. I've been running it and it hasn't let me down yet. If you haven't tried it out I would suggest giving Cabal Therapy a run.
I played it in Damia Prosperous-Bloom combo. I find that it plays more like a combo card than a stax card. If you do give it a shot make sure you have something in play that will allow you to sac any land for blue mana for stasis, just in case your CoW/Loam engine gets dealt with.
I would like to see P3K/No card yet Legendaries/Walkers, Imp. Seal, Grim Tutor and some other hard to acquire things. More to get more copies in circulation than some kind of market crashing.
My favorite flavor based general is Kiku, Night's Flower I was into VtM a lot during that time and my favorite vampire clan is Lasombra so her abilities and story made me a heavy duty fan instantly.
Honorable mention to Hythonia the Cruel for being full of awesome gorgony flavor.
Tasigur, the Golden Fang he allows me to play sultai in any manner. Combo, Control, Voltron or even aggro if I so desired.
Vish Kal, Blood Arbiter he used to my #1 go to commander, but lately I've caught the Sultai bug (recognize the pun skills) and given up my Orzhovian tendencies.
Jaya Ballard, Task Mage oh Lady of the flames, remover of threats, vindicator of the blue mages, may you never be far from hand and always ready to incinerate my foes. My favorite deck to build with her is mono-red mill. It is a control deck that converts damage into exiled libraries.
I tend to go after the biggest jerk* at the table. Failing finding a jerk to target I go with my whatever game plan the deck I chose has ready. I will say this, my Joker themed Tymaret deck does get bemoaned by a few people based on how it works. But with the exception of those few everybody seems to enjoy it.
(jerk is defined by me as: a player running bribery, bant or any lame-ass boring done to death deck (Zur, Azami, Arcum et al).)
You could build a variant of Cheerios in TL. I would probably go Jeskai with tokens, cheap cantrips and 0-cmc artifacts. The 0-cnc artifact route gives you Scapegoat, Rebuild, Retract and Hurkyll's Recall. However this denies you Glimpse as a draw engine. I honestly think AotB combo would be better suited to Marath or other token spawning lists as a back-up plan. It could possibly work in an Animar 'affinity' list with a chain of ETB card advantage.
Root Maze seems like a good fit. I'm also considering City of Solitude and Hall of Gemstone. Once I have time to sit down and build I'll post a list. Thanks for the input VidarThor.
So I decided that I wanted to build TL and my first go wasn't great. So atm I have a Kuon MBC list that I'm working on but I really want to have fun snd play Stasis.
I'm probably going to run mana dorks to speed out on board disruption and run tempo counters like Daze, Mana Leak and Force Spike. Anyone else have ideas?
SMall things like Ivory Tower, Zuran Orb, Courser of Kruphix and Lifegift work well with what Tasigur decks want to be doing. Horizon Chimera is one of my favorites in BUG because it's a flying beater with trample that gains you life for drawing cards.
