I played this deck for my first game on Wednesday evening. Unfortunately, I got a bit manascrewed. It was really only Bucknard's Everfull Purse that kept me in the game at all. And even that came at the price of accelerating a couple of dangerous opponents. I used Enlightened Tutor to grab...

2024 has been the year of me revisiting my EDH decks from prior years. I try to do a Christmas theme deck every year. So this time around, I'm revisiting my Zedruu deck from Christmas of 2022. Commander: 1 Zedruu the Greathearted 1 Alexios, Deimos of Kosmos 1 Arbiter of Knollridge 1 Arcane...

Well, I played this deck for my final game today. Initially, the problem I was facing was Gisa, Glorious Resurrector. Because Gisa replaces Omarthis dying, I couldn't get a death trigger from my commander. I was digging for an answer to that, but someone else at the table dealt with it before...

Despite a slightly sluggish start, I was able to hold off some attacks while milling myself with Sage of Mysteries, then with Overlord of the Balemurk. I was able to cast my commander for X=3 on the following turn, then set up a huge Replenish on the turn after that. Although I didn't get an...

Played this deck today. Got a bit stuck. Should probably have sequenced differently, but I don't think it was going to matter. I got outscaled pretty hard. Thought I was going to die to dragons, but then another player killed me suddenly in one shot.

This deck put up a dominating performance today. The game got off to a slow start overall, so my Harrow into Skyshroud Claim, with a fifth turn Mana Reflection and sixth turn Maelstrom Wanderer into a bunch more stuff eclipsed everything else on the table. No one was able to stop me and I ran...

Played this deck again today for yet another win. Well, I was aiming for more consistency, and I succeeded there. Leveraged an early Knight of the Reliquary to set up for a couple of possible lines. Opponents got rid of my Survival of the Fittest, Spore Frog, Ashnod's Altar, and Zuran Orb. But I...

Despite Weathered Wayfarer and Azusa, I didn't really pull ahead at first in my game tonight. But once Mirari's Wake stuck, I was able to have this deck explode. Divine Visitation made Torsten's death trigger super-dangerous for my opponents. But then I hit an infinite loop anyway.

Played this deck tonight. I used Enlightened Tutor to go for Divine Intervention, fully aware that one of my opponents had Boompile. I already had Paradox Haze, Greater Auramancy, Moat, and Humility. So if my opponent simply opted not to use Boompile, he could let the game end in a draw. If he...

Despite finally getting a game in which I drew Ashnod's Altar, it happened too late into the game and things had already gone too poorly for me. Couldn't quite get set up. Close, though.

Seven months or so after I dismantled this deck and almost twelve months after the last revision to it was made, it has been pointed out to me that Flood Plain as a card makes no sense in this deck. The thing is, I doubt that I was actually physically running Flood Plain. I suspect that I had a...

Played this deck for tonight's final game. Although Hypergenesis didn't give me much, I was able to use Greater Good to set up a much bigger turn. I had well over 70 cards in my hand by the time I finally cast Eureka.

Apparently, this deck is still in my bag. I know, I know. I keep saying that it's next on the chopping block. Well, I played it again. I actually picked it because there was a desire for a "quick game" since someone at the table was on a time crunch. I ended up delivering on that with a...

Not that it really counts, but there was some downtime while a game with other players was going and before the next pod was assembled for me to play in. Someone wanted to play one-on-one against me. Haven't really configured any of my decks for that. But it ended up being Omarthis vs. Ayula. At...

So, I put together a new version of this deck this morning. I kind of want this to be one of my long-term decks. We'll see if that feeling lasts now that I have it together again. But I knew I could improve it. The plan is to keep running with this deck and testing it until I get some sense for...

I played this deck for the final game of last night. Manifested some cards but couldn't get Omarthis to be particularly big, and I fell behind. The player that was winning used The Great Aurora, which weakened my mana production some more. But then he tried to use Shaman of the Forgotten Ways to...
