An experiment in EDH Tempo.

Most Ephara decks floating around have been hastily constructed with messy curves and unfocused lists. I went into this desiring a more cohesive deck with the intention of making a tempo deck that can hold its own in a format that isn't very kind to this sort of deck. Like Edric, Ephara allows you to play a more aggressive game without falling behind in card advantage. I still need 2 cuts.

The maybeboard is all cards I thought were too expensive or too ineffective. Trading Post is expensive and slow, Brimaz is low-impact, Mentor just does what Ephara already does, Leyline doesn't do enough, Sun Titan and Navigator cost too much mana. I originally had more Armageddon effects, but I think this becomes a very different deck if I focus on mana denial. I'm debating the addition of an artifact ramp package to help get Ephara into play sooner.
