I finally got a taste of commander last weekend and I really enjoyed it, but it was a bit rough playing these amazing decks with a stock precon. I still cant seem to decide on a commander for my own, although I have been leaning hard on [Sek'Kuar, Deathkeeper[/c] or maybe just stick with a precon and modify it (Have plenty to choose from sadly). For now I ordered Reliquary Tower since it was one card I saw get the most use.
I have been wanting to play commander / edh for awhile now and with next weekend being a big convention where I know lots of people play, I bought the Arcane Wizardry from this year as well as ordered the Commander Anthology. The decklists seem very well put together to me, not really being familiar with the format.
For me, it was not only imprinting Shahrazad on a Panoptic Mirror but I managed to use Death Wish to pull the card from the main game, into our second game. I was banned from using white mana for a long long time after that.
Like topic says. These are 3 cards I am really interested in using but can't for the life of me find a way to play them outside commander format. The only one I could really find a somewhat easy fit for is Atraxa, Praetors' Voice. I could take a Bant deck and modify it with a splash of black mana. Cards like Angel of Despair or even the various Sorin planeswalkers would kind of mesh well with the theme of corrupted vigilance.
Progenitus just has me stumped. I haven't run a 5 color deck since my "Crew of the Weatherlight" build back 10+ years ago. I have always had this interest in the card though, Hydra creatures were kind of a collection of mine, but have never been able to show off my prized one.
Lastly Yidris, Maelstrom Wielder I might just toss him into the Progenitus build, if I could get a cascade on Prog I could pretty much cast anything in the deck for free.
Made my first adjustments and I swapped out a few mountains for 2 Temple of Triumph and 1 Wind-Scarred Crag also took out 2 cards for 2 more plains. Thought about using my Inspiring Vantage but it would be too slow for this deck maybe.
Also removed the celestial flare, mortal's ardor, decree of justice, entreat the angels, platinum angel, exquisite archangel, and archangel of strife. Used them to swap in Wrath of God and a few 4 cost angels suggested. The Seraph of Sword, angel of jublation, guardian seraph, and sublime archangel. With Linvala being reprinted and price being only like 12 bucks instead of 40 or 50 I will probably try to add her in instead of probably Serra Angel or Iona.
With those new changes, the deck is visibly running leaner and meaner.
I am planning to replace more mountains with dual lands when I get some. I also have Geosurge, 2 Incinerate and 4 Surging Flame I was considering swapping some angels like Exquisite or Platinum for
For the start I have the FTV Angel box, Archangel Avacyn, Razia, and a playset of Lightning Helix. The problem I have is that angels are all so high cost, I wont be alive to drop one. I was thinking of low cost humans and possible splash of U or B to give me options for early game.
Player A. casts Polymorph on his only creature and the first revealed creature is Body Double
Neither player has anything else in the grave at this point, how exactly would this play out? Would the other creature already be in the grave for Body Double to assimilate or would it "pass by" the poor Double which is forced to come into play as a 0/0.
I wanted to try playing something new. Since I always play black decks or red /green I started making a white and blue deck but I'm having trouble finding cards that would provide decent synergy. So far here is what I have lined up for it
