Hi,
for an additional non-expensive counterspells i could recommend https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=de&card=delay .
In 3 Turns whatever they played probably doesnt matter anymore and during that time they cant get the card back from graveyard.
And mb try to get Narset's Reversal from the new Set.
Would be perfect for Talrand
Hope i could help

Not gonna lie, I've never seen Delay in my life, but that seems amazing. It can be Isochron Scepter'd and has the potential to cost 1 mana with a cost-reducing piece out. Gonna pick one of those up & give it a shot.

do you make this deck on the 8x8 theory,?

The what?

Never heard of this before, but you have my attention.

Most likely referring to this, https://the8x8theory.tumblr.com/post/145429932739/the-8x8-theory-an-introduction, its the theory that if you start with 36 lands & compartmentalize your deck into 8 different core effects with 8 cards in each section, you'll end up with an effective deck. Its useful for some commanders, but with Talrand it's a little restrictive. Having only 8 spells that draw you cards & dig wouldn't be nearly enough, not to mention counterspells. When I started the deck, I was mostly basing mine off of other decklists & picking & choosing what seemed liek the most efficient for my budget at the time. Since then I've swapped out tons of pieces that seemed not worth & tried to optimize where i can.


Any interest in adding favorable winds? It's not going to trigger Talrand but it's an easy way to make all of those flyers more effective.

I'm on the fence about removing Propaganda for something a little more proactive since one pillow fort card seems a little out of place, but Favorable Winds is too much win-more for me. Won't save me from a proper board wipe & if I've got ~20 tokens out on the board safely, I'm already in a pretty good spot.

So I've been playing with the Jalira deck below and I've got questions about some cards I've seen used in a lot of other builds.

Mass Polymorph - I had this in previously and every time I drew it, I already had a pretty sizeable cluster of big guys on the field. It would be one thing if it just put them in the graveyard where I could eventually get them back with a rewind spell, but it exiles them. Am I starting my polymorphs too early or is this just not as useful as it initially seemed?

Whelming Wave - So much stuff in this deck isn't a Kraken, Leviathan, etc, and I'm not really keen on returning a 7 or 8 cost creature to my hand that I initially played for . Everybody else can likely replay the core of what they lost, but depending on how early it is, I might not be able to play it for a few turns, if ever (girlfriend plays a Nath of the Gilt-Leaf deck, so the threat of losing my big guys before I can play them is pretty real). Can anyone convince me its worth having in here?

Mirage Mirror - This one I actually understand, turn it into your/enemy's OP things temporarily to double up on effects and "steal" things without really stealing them. I just don't know what to drop for it.

I'm also trying to stay close to 100$ for overall price to stick with a group-wide budget suggestion, so please keep any improvement suggestions cheap!

Finally, I don't know if you've noticed this, but you have an infinite combo waiting to happen. Imprint Isochron Scepter with Dramatic Reversal, and then have some artifacts that tap for mana (Say, Sol Ring and Sky Diamond), to generate infinte mana.

I actually love that and am putting Dramatic Reversal in, but I'll leave it up to the gods for now. My friends already grumble about some of the other cheese I've pulled in the past :).

I have a Talrand deck that you may wanna check it. I haven't updated it since Rivals of Ixalan came out but it's current up to that.

So I found a lot of cards I like in your build, and I have one big question.
Why Reality Shift? I see it in so many Talrand builds, but I just don't get it. Is removing a creature worth risking them just getting an equally mean creature out?

I'm just starting to get into Commander with my group of friends & I'm looking for some comments/suggestions to make this deck better without destroying my wallet completely. I've gone through a ton of revisions on my own & want some feedback to let me know I'm heading in a good direction.

Currently the plan is to either draw the cards I need naturally or use the massive amounts of draw spells to both get me drake tokens & give me the cards I need to keep anyone from doing anything too crazy.

Also, I'm not 100% sure about the card sections for this format, so let me know if I need to change any of the sections or move some things around.

Doesn't look like it would work, Combat Celebrant has a built in no-infinite clause: "If Combat Celebrant hasn't been exerted this turn"
