Got in my first game with Tasigur last night. In retrospect, I should have played Archelos, as I overestimated the power levels of the decks I was playing against.
Three person pod,
Beledros Witherbloom,
Reyhan, Last of the Abzan +
Ishai, Ojutai Dragonspeaker and me on Tasigur. I had a good start with
Sensei's Divining Top, a bunch of lands and
Rhystic Study. From about turn 4 onward, I felt very in control of the game, despite Ishai and Reyhan quickly growing to lethal size.
It reminded me of playing Legacy RUG Delver back when Innistrad first got released, with answers to everything at my fingertips and my threats outclassing pretty much anything my opponents could muster. Not a great test case, but damn, it felt like the deck just hummed.
Going to shift the focus of this thread to Archelos and impose upon Mookie's hospitality over in the Primer for further Tasigur developments.
