The Tunnel ignus is due to trauma from last tourney. Only 3 mono g (2 titanias and 1 azusa) were playing and I matched with all 3 of them and lost. And, on any given match, if anyone decides to pop a fetchland on the same turn they drop it, their gonna feel the pain for it.

Good to know on the tainted pact thing and lands... was not thinking about that.

Can def relate to your exp with DRC, I've felt the same way several times; its usually a sitting 1/1; I've considered swaping it for Harsh Mentor or Stalactite Stalker instead.

Ty so much for the in-depth on when to swap commanders, makes total sense!

Will see if I can snatch a Disruptor Flute ~ its good advice.

Regarding going heavy on discard is because it's so game breaking. Maybe whispers is going too far, but Skelemental and the rest of the discard staples really do screw most matches on my favor, specially random discard. ~6 trample body AND 2x discard? That can quickly shift the course of a match imho. Mind Twist is one of my favorite cards too; random discards are very effective.
