Ok, so this is my attempt at a voltron/Obliterate hybrid thingy that should function like a deck at some point in the future. Problem for now is, there's too damn many cards. Help me cut things.
So the basic game plan: Get Tajic into play and two other attackers that are also indestructible. Then blow everything the **** up.
Or give Tajic the Worldslayer. Then blow everything the **** up.
Or make all my **** indestructible. Then blow everything the **** up.
Basically I want a deck that's cute and cuddly so I have an excuse to put it in pink sleeves. Red and white makes pink. Cute. Cuddly.
Even though he is indestructible, do you really need Darksteel Myr? I feel like he isn't really going to do much for you in the longrun, but I guess I could be wrong.
Off the top of my head, you might have too many ways to blow **** up. Some of the weaker ones might be Planar Cleansing and Planar Collapse. I'm also unsure of some of the "blow up creatures and leave a dude behind" things will work out, but that's something that might require testing.
I'd probably suggest cutting the other two weapons of Kaldra. The only way you'll realistically assemble all three is if Stonehewer is working overtime, and it seems to me you'd generally be better served by just fetching up Worldslayer.
Other than that, your indestructible section might be able to use some trimming, specifically Darksteel Myr and Darksteel Garrison.
How about adding Rout? Instant speed wrath goodness!
You can probably cut some of your cards that blow stuff up, and i do agree with the comment on the darksteel myr and other indestructibles. You can cut some of the cards to keep more high-impact cards in your list. I feel Darksteel Forge is overkill in the deck considering you might not be running enough artifacts to warrant its inclusion. That and the difficulty in reaching 9 mana consistently and already having a full board of artifacts by then.
personally, this style of deck does not go over well in my playgroup, so I have opted to move away from this kind of build and into a more aggressive, token build. I did consider a lot of the sweep cards and did test it out, much to the moaning and gnashing of teeth of my playgroup hahaha.

My thoughts are that he is a Battalion Enabler that survives Obliterate. There are few enough indestructible creatures out there, and this one is cheap. I'll pull the Darksteel Brute before I pull this guy, but maybe they both need to go.

Good call. That is a pretty long list of destroy all teh things.
Along the lines of Darksteel Myr, blow the things up and leave a dude behind helps enable Battalion. There is a huge difference between 2/2 Tajic and 7/7 Tajic. One takes three swings to kill you, the other takes eleven.

Each piece of the Kaldra set does give me something useful, though. The sword makes Tajic much harder to block and really cuts the clock down. The helm gives him trample. If I do manage to get all three, I have a 1 mana Battalion enabler.
I'm afraid Worldslayer will get old in any of my playgroups. I want it there to grab if it's the only way I'm going to win, but I think I'll avoid it until necessary.

Good call on Darksteel Forge. With my land and artifact destruction, I likely won't make it to the 9 mana required. Then again, I do have three mana producing myr and things like Crucible of Worlds to protect from my own wrath. Remember the old phrase: Anything worth killing is worth overkilling.
Thanks for the list. I'm taking a few suggestions from it for sure, mostly lands and Steelshaper's Gift, but I might find even more after a closer look. I was happy to see both Jor Kadeen and Gisela made it into your list for the same reason they made it into mine.

How do you feel about the Myojin?
Given the number of sweepers you are currently running, and I'd rather keep the white Myojin. Or you can decrease your spell based land destruction and keep the red Myojin, and pray you make it to 10 mana haha. That and the slots used for Darksteel Brute and Darksteel Garrison I feel could be doing much more.

No problem! If you don't mind, I'd like to put a link to your list on my post on the "Other Ways to Build Tajic" portion. We gotta help each other out haha. Jor Kadeen and Gisela enable wins out of nowhere in my deck!
I'm going to be replying to your post, and will sneak in some time to test Faithless Looting. Thanks for the suggestion Dechs!
I´m building a tajic deck and I´m going to include in it Spitemare, boros reckoner, stuffy doll and blasphemous act (which you are using already or chain reaction )
Beside of that using cheap and double strikers creatures could be an option to include quest for the holy reliq in order to comboing with worldslayer ;).
I´m going to try to assemble the deck once I´ve in my hands all the cards I need and then I´ll post here cause obviously i also want to destroy all teh things

Here is a link to my Tajic list, maybe I can offer some ideas in here:

I think clearing the board of creatures is more important than clearing lands. I tried to go for anything that destroyed creatures+.

I agree, I've gone a little overboard looking for indestructible Battalion Enablers. Do you really feel Darksteel Myr should be cut before the Brute?
Damnit, I'm trying to cut cards, not add awesome ones in!

Also, how the hell did I forget Sol Ring?
Crap, I also need to put Faithless Looting in here somewhere.

Hehehe. well... you could always cut Devastation,Worldslayer, Magus of the Disk, or Scourglass. I feel those sweepers are not really pulling their weight in your list.
