Both hearse and cauldron require a creature on the battlefield to be a wincon, but hearse can't attack and exile at the same time, and can be removed as a creature. It's close, but cauldron might be de way

I’ve had extreme success with a variant of this. I use stroke of midnight instead of ossification/destroy evil, it answers anything counters can’t and at instant speed.

I don't know if Azorius is the best combination to play Agatha's soul cauldron. Because all of your removal and counterspells exile the creatures. Since you need those in the graveyard first to exile them from there.

I played aainst this earlier with the cascade deck, and I honestly don't know if this deck can ever win against cascade. Half of that deck is threats that must be either countered or swept, and the deckbuilding restriction means that gets worse postboard. They literally exiled 40 of my cards and it didn't matter because they'd spent every answer in their deck and I still had threats.

I think the chance of making your vigilant samurai able to get opponent creatures activated abilities Is busted. I also think that these shenanigans are what make me thick when i think about a control deck. It's almost like siphoning your opponent's library playing esper, which btw could be an even better deck for cauldron, because maybe you'd be using more black-destroy-creatures-stuff, rather then white-exiling-cards (exiling effects plus cauldron or hearse on the field is kind of a nonbo)

46:55 for some reason the dumb auto-tapper tapped your Mirrex instead of the Field of Ruin in this spot. If it had tapped Field of Ruin, you would have had just enough mana to make one more 1/1 with the Mirrex, and then the opponent couldn't have blocked their way to another turn (even if they didn't actually do it and just let you get the win from that spot anyway).

I do not like the whale. It is not a good blue finisher at all. 6/6 is not strong enough and not even with evasion. Neither can protect itself, draw cards, recursion, ETB, powerful synergies, or any other good trick. The art is meh, it has no memes, and you feel nothing winning with it. Horrible creature. Mediocre design.
