Meh. What a bunch of salty ball sacs! I broke apart my deck, sold the cards individually on eBay, then found out 3 months later that the playgroup at my local shop (Anime Imports in Pacifica) would've totally been okay with the 40-life limit! Geez!
So, it's been about 14 months, and I thought and thought and thought about what I like to do when I play a fun game of Magic: I like to a) play cards and b) draw cards... LOTS OF 'EM! Playing Talrand in BV has made me develop a soft-spot for creating armies of drakes, so he seemed like the perfect choice. Check it :)

---------------------------------------------OBJECTIVE AND PLAY-STYLE
The goal of this deck is to get Talrand into play, play a brazillion spells, then kick back and send your army of a brazillion drakes smashing into the face of your enemies :)
ENGINE
The deck runs 29 cantrips [cards that, when cast, draw (at least) another card], 23 of which are 1cc cost instants or sorceries. Get a butt-load of mana, get/have Talrand out, and CAST AWAY!!!
CARDS
-Coat of Arms: Because eighteen 20/20 flying drakes is fuck you.
-Altar of Dementia: Because sacrificing eighteen 20/20 flying drakes and milling your opponents for 360 cards is fuck you, too.
-Runechanter's Pike: You thought Delver decks made this sucker big? :p
-Hinder and Spellcrumple: Because some dudes deserve to have their Commander countered to the bottom of their deck.
-Snapcaster Mage: Let's be honest... It's still a creature-less deck :p
-35 White-bordered 5th-Edition Islands: Because, yes... I'm a BOSS.
OTHER NOTES
Don't take the deck too seriously... As in all Commander games, have fun, talk a lot of shit, eat bad food, and laugh at everything . Oh, and bring at least 50 drake tokens! ;)
