bury the year Posted October 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 I've fallen so in love with my Kurkesh deck, I've begun the process of foiling. So far, just the Kaladesh cards are foil, as well as Invention Rings of Brighthearth and Sculpting Steel. I'll probably try to get only pack foils, unless there happens to be a lot of stamped versions available, and ideally latest printings only. I just wish Daretti and Unstable Obelisk had foils.What's your list look like again? Curious as to your progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 For Gitrog I am aiming for an unglued landbase. The forest is just too great to pass up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 So, with all the legends for C16 shown any commanders you want to build around? Personally, my favorite is Reyhan. She just seems like a super sweet commander to build around. Sadly, I already have a BG list planned and while I can scrap Gritog for her I can still use her in other pairings and I'm not sure if I'll even like the list as much as what I have for Gritog. Speaking of pairing I'm a little let down how little synergy a lot of the partners have. Ikra, Ravos, Ludevic, Kraum, Thrasios, Kydele, and Vial Smasher all seem like they don't add anything to any partnership they can be in. Don't get me wrong, a lot of them seem fine as cards for the 99, but for various reasons I don't think I'd want any in my command zone. I think the rest are saved by Reyhan, Bruse, and Sidar since they seem like they'd make really good partners. The first two make commander damage kills easier and Sidar lets the ones that want to attack in better at doing it since they are small. For the actual 4 color ones Atraxa is my favorite. She might die a bunch, but she always makes an impact and proliferate is just such a powerful build around ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bury the year Posted October 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2016 I don't have plans on building any of the new commanders right now, but that's less due to not liking any of them than merely having two decks I still need to finish (Rashmi and Gonti). I do have a few considerations, though. Kynaios and Tiro could be fun - they're the type of group hug commander I'd love to build, in that they don't favor just one opponent that you choose, but everyone equally. And if I do get tired of Rashmi at some point, Yidris is always a replacement, although my biggest hesitation is that he doesn't let you play countermagic and is more vulnerable to disruption. As for reprints, Wizards really did a good job. There are a number of $5+ inclusions and a few $10+ (looking at you, Kalonian Hydra), all of which desperately needed new printings. Additions for my decks: Rashmi:Arcane Denial (reprint and much-needed)Beast Within (reprint, but the only one I have is foil)Benefactor's DraughtScavenging Ooze (reprint)Gonti:Magus of the WillNon-EDH:Terminate (need two for Mardu Puzzleknots in pauper) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted October 28, 2016 Report Share Posted October 28, 2016 Building the ever-loving funk out of Breya. Gonna sorta return to control with her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forest Fire Posted October 28, 2016 Report Share Posted October 28, 2016 Cannot wait to play around with Atraxa. Also want the hug deck. seems like it might be cool. Yidris is eh. Breya might be interesting. I'm probably going to grab two Atraxa decks so I can have one dedicating to playing around with and the other for actual use.

Sixty Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 once i figure out a pair of partners i'm building a new deck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 I'm pretty sure I'm going to do a Tana + Reyhan combo for my Jund EDH deck. I did a quick look over and a ton of cards let you sac creatures to make counters. Tana provides the creatures and Reyhan makes those counters last and last. Not to mention Tana is a great place to dump all the counters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixty Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 in terms of older decks: entrapment maneuver in teysa maybe stonehoof chieftain in wort. definitely treacherous terrain and benefactor's draught though. copying those will be niiiiice poor sek'kuar gets nothing. i was hoping one of the partners would be good for him but alas kraj gets crystalline crawler and deepglow skate--because holy moly those cards are stupid i wanna play cruel entertainment somewhere, somehow.

Flame Dragon Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 So, I decided to draw up a mono-black Sidisi zombie deck. After I finished I found it funny how almost all of the deck used cards from the Gisa breakdown over on EDHREC (thats a great resource btw) and decided to do a thought experiment to see what the deck would be like with her leading things. My conclusion, a lot of the cards currently in the deck are a lot stronger and I could cut some of the weaker cards and cards that nombo with her for the support. While I should just go and make the switch to having her lead it, I worry she is just too easy too kill and unless I have Greaves or Swiftfoot (the main support she needs) she might be lacking. So, any advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bury the year Posted November 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 Okay, C16 has been out for a bit now. What's the post-release autopsy? I'm hoping to pick up Saskia, but I'm personally curious on how the others stack up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forest Fire Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 Breya is probably one of the best, my friend who got her won both games we played.Saskia / Yidris would seem to be a close secondidk where Atraxa or Kynaios woul fall since no one in my group played the hug deck.

Flame Dragon Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 Atraxa is my personal favorite. Just be an jabroni and use a bunch of infect creatures. I really want to make a Tana/Reyhan partner deck. Reyhan is one of my favorite cards from the product and she works nicely with Tana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forest Fire Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 Atraxa is my personal favorite. Just be an a****** and use a bunch of infect creatures.Same.

(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 I built Breya almost completely now (literally just working on land base) and have only bought one single. And that was very much bought out of spite. So that's nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest Fire Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 Blightsteel Colossus.i would say that's worth it. in your opinion, would the infect build or the superfriends/ +1/+1 counters build for atraxa be better? I can only make one and I really like both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixty Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 atraxa and breya are crazy out of box, and so are yidris, the kings, and saskia. basically wizzers knocked it out of the park this year i built tana and ravos, with only RG and BW mutlicolor cards. it works surprisingly well and few things feel better than smashing an opponent and making fifty tokens from it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 Presumably, he means there would be no Selesnya, Golgari, Rakdos, Boros, or 3/4 color cards. The reasoning for such would be for flavor/resonance. Each card of the deck would fit within the color identity of a single commander, so it would give the impression of two decks mashed together.

Sixty Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 exactly, probably should've elaborated. it's a 49/48 split between the two color identities, the one leftover being dune-brood nephilim because... c'mon, i gotta run the nephilim.
