Trebuchet MS Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 The Commander 2015 decks are enemy-coloured, right? I'll wait for what the UG one looks like with bated breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bury the year Posted September 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Zegana, Prime Speaker? She's a merfolk that does better with bigger creatures on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodrigo Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Zegana, Prime Speaker? She's a merfolk that does better with bigger creatures on the field. I second her. She's very good in a deck full of huge stuff. Or Momir if you wanna go balls deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 The 2 Simic guild leaders are honestly the best options for Simic decks. Anyway, speaking of guilds, what would you recommend for a BR deck? I'm still gathering cards for Hanna, but my brain is slowly trying to work on more decks and while I settled on some kind of Sultai Zombie deck I have no idea what to do for BR and thats the next one I want to work on.

Tsabo Tavoc if you want to get hated, or Kaervek the Merciless if you want to get hated. Grenzo is pretty decent too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to avoid reanimation (Sidisi, Brood Tyrant would be more Zombie tribal) since I already have Sedris and Karador. The one I was most interested in was Olivia Voldaren, but Kaervek seems like he could be pretty interesting. I'm mostly looking for some kind of theme to start off from like WU Pillow Fort, Green Elves, or Naya Tokens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poc Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Grenzo is a ton of fun and is surprisingly strong, border lining broken. Rakdos is good if you hate fun. In my experience, karavek is kind of mediocre, he costs a billion mana to play and dies the moment he hits the board since he draws so much hate.

Grenzo would be one of the ones I'd be most interested in. Though in thinking about it I could do like I am with gold Sidisi and also make it tribal focused. That would also give me access to a bunch of cool black goblins. Rakdos as in the original? How would you go about building that to keep it from screwing you?

In my experience, karavek is kind of mediocre, he costs a billion mana to play and dies the moment he hits the board since he draws so much hate.The idea here is to, prior to casting Kaerveck, put down artifacts and/or enchantments that create clogtastic problems for the board, to either draw away the hate or make the answers less reliable. Let's say, Timesifter or Possibility Storm. Especially Possibility Storm. Kaerveck gets off to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poc Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Rakdos as in the original? How would you go about building that to keep it from screwing you?Basically like any stax deck, rakdos ends games really fast if unanswered, and once he connects with someone, he becomes much more difficult to find an answer for. You can use cheap or recursive permanents to power him out then use stuff that triggers on death. Really, once he's out he's the only permanent to you care about.

Don't think its for me, but it sounds pretty evil. Fitting for Rakdos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reinforce Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 I'm not sure how I missed seeing this community for so long, but I'd be interested in joining. Experience: About 2 years worth now, started just before the release of Dragon's Maze and have been playing EDH since about the same time.Current Decks: Xenagos, God of Revels; Niv-Mizzet, Dracogenius; and Krenko, Mob Boss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krein Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 > Niv-Mizzet, Dracogenius I think we'll be good friends :p. Niv-Mizzet is one of my favorite legends because of him being a dragon and one attuned to my main deck's colors. I decided on trying to build an EDH deck based around him last night, though I've still got to look up tons of cards and decklists to come out with my own ideas on how to build and pilot the deck.

Trebuchet MS Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 Firemind is a fair bit easier to build because he doles out damage without needing much mana input. Also infinite combo with Curiosity. Dracogenius would want to control the board with things like Dismiss into Dream or Charisma to get maximum value from a single ping.

Krein Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 I know of his Firemind version, but I personally prefer Dracogenius. I was thinking of making it a Control-Ramp-Burn deck using damage doublers like Furnace of Rath, after which the ramped up mana could help me use his UR ability multiple times for decent damage. It's just an idea on paper though, dunno how well it'd play out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it's not strictly burn. I plan for the deck to be a kind of Midrange deck that uses the usual stuff like burn, control, monsters, and advantage.

Reinforce Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 I actually play my Dracogenius deck as a control deck, using his burn ability to draw cards most of the time. I do run Dismiss into Dreams and both Basilisk Collar and Gorgon's head to help with removal, but I'd never actually heard of Charisma until today. I do run a creature version of Charisma though, Willbreaker. I'm not sure how well a direct burn deck would work with him, but it could do well depending on what you're planning to run. Personally I just win with either commander damage or Laboratory Maniac most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dracogenius can also combo out with Deadeye Navigator + Great Whale/Peregrine Drake/Palinchron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bury the year Posted September 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 Simdoggy, added. @Flame: Well, Deadeye + Palinchron = infinite mana, and there are lot of cards that can win off of infinite mana. Dracogenius, however, is better than Firemind if you're not going for the combo finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadeye + any of the of uncat guys results in stupid things, but that only needs the two of them since you can just get Draco with the mana they make. Firemind is still the better at combing out though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poc Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 Let's get some salt stories? I'll start with a time I made even myself salty. I was playing a bant enchantress deck I pieced together. I had my enchantresses going and metric fucktons of mana and was going off digging pretty deep for a win condition, after faling to find one and getting cyclonic rifted 3 times in a row I managed to get out omniscience and sigil, it took me almost 20 minutes to go through all my triggers and create enough angels to win. I could see the agony of my pod and the other 10 people watching me furiously masturbate my deck while I stumbled over all my triggers. I never played that deck again.

Sixty Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 I copied Fatal Frenzy eight times on my Terastodon and then doubled him once more with Xenagos. Made sure my opponent was extra dead. She didn't appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebuchet MS Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 Let's just say ever since I managed to take 6 combat steps in a single turn with Narset she's almost always been the first to be eliminated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
