splinter twin isn't banned in legacy and i'd consider lich aluren the same difficulty or perhaps only slightly easier to pull off

typical play pattern for splinter twin is to flash in deceiver exarch on their turn 3 eot, play splinter twin on your turn 4 first main phase, make a billion copies, then swing for the win

typical play pattern for lich aluren will be to play aluren on your turn 4, then play/bounce acererac enough times to win.

lich aluren is a little more complicated because you have to have enough cards in your deck to not die to an empty library vs mill (phandelver) or need to stuff other win conditions in your deck (mad mage). lich aluren is a little more resilient because only half of your combo dies to instant speed creature removal, and i guess you get to cast whatever you want on turn 3

splinter twin also has the advantage because blue & red are just better than green & black

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.
