your only acknowledging half of what tempo in mtg is. your deck is literally the total opposite of tempo.

a u/g deck that ramps mana and draws cards isnt tempo because it has mana and card advantage. in fact card advantage isnt tempo at all, card quality creates tempo.

just like SnT isnt a tempo deck. sure it uses ancient tomb to ramp into shown tell and puts an extremely efficient creature on the field in an unreasonable amount of time. fitting in with your 2 examples of why your a tempo deck, mana ramp and efficiency, yet still its not a tempo deck.

tempo is the COMBINATION of securing your own resources, while limiting your opponents. while at the same time playing higher quality cards and playing higher quality spells. In effect keeping your opponent on their heels the entire time. thats what tempo is. a tempo deck keeps the opponent fighting for "time" and resources while you gain "time", resources, and board state.

your janky combo deck that makes mana and draws cards and takes extra turns is cool and original, but its not tempo.

sure there's aspects of tempo in the deck but its not a tempo deck.
heck just the fact that your running wrath is proof enough its not tempo.
wrath is a stabilizing card, not a tempo card

i could see cabal therapy being pretty powerful. and yeah, it works amazingly with probe. thnx for the suggestion!

duress is in there for combo decks like you suggested. but it also hits counterspells, and most importantly, it hits opposing removal.
