MTG Salvation

For classic cool, I use Vaevictis Asmadi. Late in the game, Vaevicits can come down and deal tremendous damage to an opponent. Firebreathing in three colors is just gravy. I love Karrthus, but Vaevictis is my go-to general for RBG dragons.

My favorite general of the moment, Kiku, Night's Flower. She fronts my vampire tribal deck. I haven't heard of anyone else playing her. She's a great general/creature killer...although Doran, the Siege Tower decks laugh at her.

My Kiku deck uses Assassins in it instead of Vampires. Doran doesnt get a laugh against me. I got plenty of guys who assassinate the heck outta him.

Ith, High Arcanist..?

As for underused Generals, I'm disappointed I haven't yet seen a Nin, The Pain Artist deck.

A friend plays one. Likes to give Nin indestructibility, and ping herself for card draw. He beat the table with an Insurrection followed up by a Reins of Power last Friday.

Heidar, Rimewind Master.

Quote from Son_of_the_Suns

At my lgs, I've never seen a Geist of Saint Traft so far, which leads me to actually build one.

I thought the same and recently switched out Ith for Geist. Geist of Saint Traft with a sword on him is really mean. I would run Grand Arbiter Augustin IV but he generates too much unwanted aggro.

Also Doran, the Seige tower is pretty underutilized.

I'd really like to see and/or build a Ramses Overdark deck. With the number of blue and black Auras available that can jump back into your hand or the battlefield after their carrier is killed, or which produce an extra effect when they're destroyed, it really shouldn't be too difficult to get some real mileage out of him. It's less efficient than, say, Visara the Dreadful, but it seems way more fun. I mean, why wouldn't you want to be sending a fool to their demise every turn?

Quote from Rishana

Phage~Deadly powerful (in a non-combo win meta) when built right but I rarely see anyone play her.

Except if you cast her you lose!

If I had to do a cycle of unused generals I would go with either with the Spellshapers Cycle
U: Alexi, Zephyr Mage
B: Greel, Mind Raker
R: Latulla, Keldon Overseer
G: Jolrael, Empress of Beasts
W: Mageta the Lion

Or do the Preators (if you have no friends)
W: Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite
U: Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur
B: Sheoldred, Whispering One
R: Urabrask the Hidden
G: Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger

I really want to build a Lovisa Coldeyes deck that focuses on Giant Warriors. There are quite a few! Then just throw in some support cards.

I have seen the Lovisa Coldeyes deck and it is TERRIFYING.

As for some of the other mentions in here, I can't believe no one mentioned Garza Zol, Plague Queen for the vampire decks. Olivia doesn't give you blue, and Szadek means you skip red.

I have a Nin deck and an Adun deck and they are a BLAST to play.

I have a Lady Evangela deck which is weak but can live forever (Cleric Tribal)

I've read Sheldon's reports on Starcity, but I have yet to see a Skullbriar deck in person.

(my blog shows all my custom-art generals, if you're interested, see the sig)

Except if you cast her you lose!

Torpor Orb and a few other effects can get her out of the command zone.

I have never seen a Cho-Manno, Revoultionary deck. To me he looks like a fairly strange beatstick that survives combat and red removal.

As for underused Generals, I'm disappointed I haven't yet seen a Nin, The Pain Artist deck.

I came here to say she was my pick for underrated. Everyone gets so hyped up on Jhoira and Niv, two generals that just put humongous, neon targets on your back. Tibor and Lumia are definitely underrated as well but part of that is that they aren't actually that good (and you know it, bob).

Nin, on the other hand, is underrated and very strong. Her mana cost is a downright steal. She draws you a ton of cards at instant speed. She scales really well into the late game. She can kill things if you're desperate, or do it with little risk with deathtouch. She's got wizard tribal synergy. She works great with a steal and sac theme by pinging the guys you take with stuff like Vedalken Shackles. You don't even have to work that hard. No need to focus on death triggers or indestructible or anything. If she dies because she pinged herself for 6, it was still a great play.

She might be my next primer, just for some visibility. Seriously. Nin. Awesome.

I love them too but it's more of a cute "DAWWWW I WUV YOU GUYS" puppy love. They happen to have a convenient.

Tell you what, that would be the funniest damn Jhoira deck I've ever seen. Suspending 1-mana cantrips FTW

Kresh the Bloodbraided for sure. No one around here runs him or even acknowledge him as a creature really. He's incredibly fun to play and when tied in with Kessig Wolf Run and a army of beaters, sure you'll get a target on your head. But You'll go out in style

I don't see how Kresh is an underrated or underused general. He's actually pretty popular. If anything, I'd easily say Kresh is overrated.

I've got one based on the idea of "whats yours is mine" I kidnap you creature, attack you with it, use nin's ability to kill it, profit. It's probably my favourite deck.

I just built a Rubinia Soulsinger ETB/Blink deck that's just oppresive - I gain control of their creature, blink it with the new-format blink spells, untap with Rubinia and repeat.

I'd love to see Ramses Overdark! That will be my next primer >:3 for sure.

I think Saffi Eriksdotter is pretty underrated, along with Intet, the Dreamer. Intet is a solid play, and can do some funny stuff. Makes for a great Chaos commander.

and why does nobody play Ramirez DePietro?!

Quote from bobthefunny

I do. I would dare say the Pirate decks outnumber the Ninja decks currently.

...I'm not the only one? ='D

Mine isn't a pirate deck per-say...more a "Ramirez is the only creature, and here's some funny U/B/Swords support"

The pirate deck is...in the works. Everything is kinda on hold while I work on Laquatus ^^;

There's another thing! How come Ambassador Laquatus doesn't get any love? =(
