I don't think the wall deck is the best example of the format allowing you to devalue tempo since it plays a 1 mana creature that blocks 2s and a two mana creature that trades with 3s.

I do think it's a slower format with people sometimes trying to be slightly bigger than eachother though.

There's a weird giant growth burn deck i've seen screenshots of that plays all 1 drops and green combat tricks and just tries to convert combat tricks to lava spikes, that looks pretty fast but i've never seen it in queue.
Against white based aggro i get overwhelmed a lot but if I draft and play slightly differently i'm getting the hang of winning against it with a slower strategy.
"Let us say that you are right and there are two worlds. How much, then, is this 'other world' worth to you? What do you have there that you do not have here? Money? Power? Something worth causing the prince so much pain for?'"
"Well, I..."
"What? Nothing? You would make the prince suffer over... nothing?"

ok but if you play against it you can afford to be slower

I haven't played that much more since my last post, and I'm only diamond, but I still find myself getting 7 wins when playing aggressive decks that can go late with kicker when pressed to, and like 3 wins when playing decks that can only play slow.
Taking a break from the site.

I am working running a dragon themed Commander Deck with Kyodai as it's commander that runs all five of the other Kamigawa dragons

I also have one with Jodah the Unifier as my commander, all about legendary creatures.

As for other play, I have lots of decks, but my favorite to play is a deck I built around the theme of Persona 5. Ninjas, Devils, Rogues, and Demons. Tibalt, Cosmic Imposter as a planeswalker.
