Deck discussion for SyggTesting

I wish I had half of the cards in this deck. But I would definitely play Wydwen, I play her as a commander, and she is so unbelievably resilient that she won me numerous games without support - for example she could block thraximundar for 5 turns alone and held him until I won the game. She is not to be underestimated.

my 4-drop slot is just so bogged down right now: consuming vapors, big jace, skinrender, sower, geists. consuming vapors is a recent addition, but I think it'll be good. 2-for 1 with some life-gain in the mid range at about the time when other decks are bringing out their big guys. Wouldn't a maze of ith do the same job as Wydwen in the blocking department?

well it would, but maze of ith is only one card out of 100, doesn't proc the sygg's ability, and wydwen is good as a 3/3 flash flying early, and as an invincible beater/blocker later. I stopped playing consuming vapors as I faced lots of token/swarm decks, and it was ineffective in such scenario. On the other hand I played both Damnation and Black Sun's zenith because I had very few creatures in the deck. Some other cards I've always found a use for was Trickbind - fetchland destruction is the least it can do, as it stops virtually all the combo's out there. Next would be Nihil spellbomb, and the last one is made specially for sygg - Bloodchief Ascension. Glen Elendra Archmage is also very advisable.

EDIT: Sol ring and Sensei's Divining top are awesome too.

I don't think Wydwen can block Thraximundar alone. When Thrax attacks his ability goes on the stack, and you would have to flash in Wydwen during attack step so she can block. Wydwen would be on top of Thrax's ability on the stack, which means she is in play when Thrax's ability resolves and therefore sacrificed.

AFAIK you can flash her at the end of declare attackers step, before declare blockers step. By that time the ability is resolved and is not on the stack anymore. Before damage step you return wydwen to your hand, and if you have 10 mana you can flash her back at the end of opponents turn so that you can attack with her during your turn.
"Before the Declare Attackers step can end, both players must pass priority. At a minimum, this is when you get an opportunity to act, and can cast creatures with flash."
