Deck discussion for Talrand, Lord of Counter

No Switcharoo? You've not had fun with Talrand until you've given someone a drake for their Prophet of Kruphix and made another drake in the proccess.

Future Sight is amazing too. Nothing better than having Opt as the top card to cast into Impulse on the top to cast into a Pongify into a nice available topdeck counterspell.

Windreader Sphinx is gonna draw more cards than Sphinx of Uthuun pretty often, and it's going to draw a LOT more pretty often.

Future Sight is on my watch list mostly for my Melek storm deck, so when I get one I'll test it here.

Uthuun is a temporary placeholder for Jin-Gitaxias which I want to get also.

I wound up pulling Jin just because I always felt like a dick after polymorphing into him a few times on turn 5 or something. I think I replaced him with Tidespout Tyrant.

Emrakul is banned, btw.

This is a 1vs1 list, Emrakul is not banned (http://www.duelcommander.com/banlist/)

That's also why I don't play Sol Ring or Mana Vault. When playing multiplayer Emrakul can be replaced by Sphinx of Uthuun, Scourge of Fleets...

Jin-Gitaxias however is going to be a keep in both 1vs1 and multiplayer, mainly because Talrand is a hate magnet in my meta. If people already hate your commander and are going to attack you, better use the big guns! :D
