Ive been busy playing as many Standard games as I can ever since Guilds of Ravnica was released on Magic Online even though Ill be playing Modern at SCG Columbus this weekend because the format is too much fun
Playing with powerful cardsGame Changers or otherwisecan be a lot of fun, and I definitely dont think that theres anything wrong with wanting to play higher powered decks in cEDH or even in casual EDH, as long as everyone is on the same page about what to expect during the game
A deck full of cheap spells will often do the trick just fine and give any pod a run for its money, so you can easily upgrade a deck on the cheap and then improve it later on when you have the means
The drawback of Dire Tactics is losing life equal to the toughness of the creature it exiles unless you control a Human, which makes Dire Tactics more like Orzhov Charm or an upgraded Vendetta than Doom Blade in most decks
That set also comes with EB01-017-blueno which is just a common blocker that has the Film type, so he's also searchable (and playable) by a lot of cards in the deck
The Saga art is only extended on the back side
