Dementuo Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Probably one of the best ways to play. Each player starts out with 40 Life. Decks consist of 99 cards with no duplicates. (Every card is limited, essentially) There is a "Command" Zone for the card known as the General of your deck. The General is any legendary creature. You may only use cards of the same color as your General. IF you had "Intet, the Dreamer" as a General, then you would be limited to the colors Red, Blue, and Green. Colorless cards are allowed at all times. You may play the General at any time during the game, provided you have the mana to play it. If your General is destroyed, you may return it to the general Zone. If you do, you must pay an additional 2 colorless mana to play it next time. This lasts for the rest of the game. So, what kind of deck do you all run, and what have your experiences in EDH been? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnpsy Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 I've heard of it a lot, but I avoid it like the plague. It looks annoying as hell to build for. Not to mention expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niv-Mizzet Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 It can, but I currently have barely dropped $100 for it and have three EDH decks, Memnarch, Razia, and Ezuri, that perform pretty well. Personally, for a money-challenged person like me, I love it. Why? Only one copy of the cards are needed, no dropping $50 for a playset of a format-defining epic card (Let's leave Jace out of this).

Flame Dragon Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 I REALLY want to get into it. It seems like a lot of fun tbqh. My biggest problem has been getting the cards for it, but with the EDH decks coming out in about a month that gets a lot easier. When they come out I'm getting the Green/White/Black one. Those also happen to be my fav colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic the Gathering's market department is horrible. I'll probably only get one, I'd get more if they gave 'em away for 20 bucks each. They should IMO, seeing as how you typically get 60 for 12 bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
