Flame Dragon Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 new omnath is one of the most fun commanders i've played in a long while. Curious how you built it and if you have more of a focus on abusing the landfall for token strategies or on the tribal synergy. Both is also an option.

Rodrigo Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 I still think Fertilid is the most adorable thing ever. Thallid's Modern Master artwork is the best though. I'd play it just for the cuteness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flame Dragon Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Copy/pasted from my thread in Other TCG Decks. Posting here to increase likelihood that I'll get some feedback I posted a few days ago about making an Iroas EDH deck and this is what I cam up with. This isn't a high priority to complete any time soon, but I started putting it together in my head so I figured I might as well run with it. Could certainly use a little more work, but I think this is a good starting point for the build. As always, click on the picture in enlarge. Also, since I'm going to need to buy a lot of these and I want to price check them to make sure nothing is TOO expensive (I don't go above $10 unless the card is really important for the deck like Sword) I'm going to need to write up a list of most the cards anyway. So, have the deck list too. [spoiler=Deck List] Commander Iroas, God of Victory Creatures (25) Gisela, Blade of Goldnight Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite Emeria Shepherd Sun Titan Godo, Bandit Warlord Hellkite Charger Scourge of the Throne Aurelia, the Warleader Angelic Skirmisher Urabrask the Hidden Jor Kadeen, the Prevailer Balefire Liege Nobilis of War Stonehewer Giant Hero of Bladehold Odric, Master Tactician Archangel of Tithes Purphoros, God of the Forge Heliod, God of the Sun Marton Stromgald Angelic Field Marshal Brimaz, the King of Oreskos Mentor of the Meek Stoneforge Mystic Grand Abolisher Planeswalkers (7) Elspeth, Sun's Champion Nahiri, the Lithomancer Elspeth Tirel Elspeth, Knight-Errant Gideon, Ally of Zendikar Chandra, Pyromaster Ajani, Caller of the Pride Enchantments (10) True Conviction Martyr's Bond Berserkers' Onslaught Gratuitous Violence Outpost Siege Marshal's Anthem Unquestioned Authority Goblin Trenches Aggravated Assault Oblivion Ring Artifacts (15) Batterskull Avarice Amulet Bonehoard Assault Suit Spear of Heliod Hammer of Purphoros Sunforger Sword of Feast and Famine Lightning Greaves Sword of the Animist Vorrac Battlehorns Mind Stone Skullclamp Infiltration Lens Sol Ring Sorcery (1) Waves of Aggression Instant (5) Return to Dust Starstorm Boros Charm Final Fortune Swords to Plowshares Lands (36) Evolving Wilds Terramorphic Expanse Command Tower Boros Guildgate Boros Garrison Sacred Foundry Wind-Scarred Crag Temple of Triumph Clifftop Retreat Battlefield Forge Ancient Amphitheater Opal Palace Smoldering Crater Forgotten Cave Smoldering Spires Flamekin Village Spinerock Knoll Windbrisk Heights Mistveil Plains Emeria, the Sky Ruin Sunhome, Fortress of the Legion Slayers' Stronghold Temple of the False God Reliquary Tower Mountain x4 Plains x8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixty Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Curious how you built it and if you have more of a focus on abusing the landfall for token strategies or on the tribal synergy. Both is also an option. I threw in some stuff like Coat of Arms and Shared Animosity, but other than that a lot of landfall, Titania, and sac outlet shenanigans. Elemental Mastery, best card with Goblin Bombardment out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Titania seems disgusting in that deck. Playing her and bring back a fetch land adds 20 power to the board and 12 points of unstoppable damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 Finally have Hanna mostly finished so I just put in some stand in cards I had considered at an early point and got to play a few games. Really happy with how it came out. I differently overestimated how easy it would be to get up an enchantment wall so having Gideon draw hate when I didn't have any was awesome. Especially since him doubling as removal is the real deal. Rest In Peace is weird since while it does turn off Hanna it screws over so many other decks so much harder that it more than makes up for it. The one thing I felt like I was really missing was a more definitive way to close out the game. Also wanted a couple more wraths and more counters to protect my enchantments. Regardless the deck was a blast to play and I'm looking forward to getting a few more games in with the deck before it just becomes part of my ever going line up of options (Hanna is my 7th and I have 2 more in the works, though both are far from finished).

Flame Dragon Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 Decklist? I don't recall you posting one. I posted it a while back. But I've made a handful of changes so here is the current build. I'm missing Platinum Emperion, Martyr's Bond, Glacial Chasm, and Reliquary Tower still, but I have everything else.

bury the year Posted October 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 Stuff I'd cut: Viral Drake: Infect in EDH is bad outside of Blightsteel. I also don't see enough that meaningfully interacts with proliferate to warrant the spot. Ojutai, Soul of Winter: Not a big-enough effect to warrant inclusion, imho. Overwhelming Intellect: I just wouldn't like holding up that much mana for a counter. Your results may vary. Remote Sandbar: Cut for Secluded Steppe. Emeria, the Sky Ruin: How reliably will this trigger with only 9 Plains in your deck? You also have very few sources of ramp, once again. Throw in some mana rocks: they'll do work. Azorius Signet, Commander's Sphere, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overwhelming Intellect: I just wouldn't like holding up that much mana for a counter. Your results may vary. Remote Sandbar: Cut for Secluded Steppe. Emeria, the Sky Ruin: How reliably will this trigger with only 9 Plains in your deck? You also have very few sources of ramp, once again. Throw in some mana rocks: they'll do work. Azorius Signet, Commander's Sphere, etc. I've been considering cutting Drake and Ojutai already. Intellect can do good work, but I agree holding up 6 is a lot. Though the major thing that makes me dislike it is missing non creatures. After playing a little with it these were all cards I was considering cutting. I wanted more blue sources which is why I have both blue cycle lands and no white. I actually have 11. 8 basics, 2 duels, and Mistveil. In addition I have 4 ways to fetch plains. Its still hard yes, but I figure its free enough to play and while it did bias me a bit towards white mana, the deck wants more white than blue anyway. I think the reason most my decks are so light on ramp is because my play group is light on ramp so I never have a need to. I wouldn't mind another piece or two though since the deck is pretty mana intensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 The only counter I would hold up 6 for is Time Stop. OK, maybe spelljack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 I totally forget that Time Stop can counter stuff too. And yea, Spelljack is pretty powerful. I've had it used on my to steal a Kozilek once. That wasn't very fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodrigo Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 I wanna build Daxos. But this means I'll have to get my hands on Greater Auramancy... which if not reprinted will be a pain to pay for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bury the year Posted November 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Building Daxos as well. Thankfully I have the majority of the expensive enchantments needed from previously building Pharika and Heliod, so it won't be too harsh on the wallet to do so.

~Faytl~ Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Hey everyone. Saw this was a thing and decided I would join, as EDH is the only MtG format I actually play. I have been playing since sometime between Theros and Born of the Gods, I think since January of last year. Here is a link to a TappedOut folder with all the decks I play currently: http://tappedout.net/mtg-deck-folders/currently-played-1/ Anax and Cymede- Boros general with a focus on using Anax and Cymede's Heroic ability to buff my entire board to go in for a crapload of damage. Needs a bit of an update, to be honest, especially in the form of more creature generation, token or otherwise. Basically assemble a ton of Heroic triggers, like Titan's Strength and Martial Glory, while you assemble the legion with a bunch of creatures and anthem effects. Jeleva, Nephalia's Scourge- Grixis spellslinger, and easily the deck with the largest element of risk and fun due to her somewhat random nature and potential aggro-drawing ability. Uses a couple wincons like Consuming Aberration mass mill and Repurcussion mixed with a damage-dealing boardwipe. All while jeleva can exile opponent resources and cast the best spells in Black, Red, and Blue for nothing. Skullbriar, the Walking Grave- Another pure aggros in Golgari colors. Cast Skullbriar and swing a lot. Scary but a little boring, I'm considering changing it over to Jarad or maybe one of the commanders in the new set of decks coming out. Yasova Dragonclaw- Temur stealing. Seeks to take opponent cards and take advantage of them before sacking them off. You may have noticed by now I gravitate towards playstyles that draw A LOT of hate (bit of a weakness of mine). Lot of sac outlets here like Ashnod's Altar and Birthing Pod with anything that can help steal things, mixed with a little Temur goodstuff. Comments and suggestions on any of these would be swell, if you like. I generally hover in a budget area of using very few cards that cost more than five dollars, barring a few things. I go up against a variety of decks in my playgroup, though right now I'm in a league using Yasova against guys that are using Nath, Alesha, Prossh, Animar, Niv-Mizzet, and Ruric Thar, with the Prossh probably being my toughest matchup since he has all the sac outlets in the world to just sac off anything I want to take. Looking forward to the Commander decks this year, myself, especially Ezuri (there I go again, picking the one that will get everyone gunning for me...)
