I honestly can't remember much about yesterday's game with this deck. I used Eriette 1.0 to protect myself a lot and eventually lost the game, but I forget what even killed me. Probably just superior creatures.

Played this deck yesterday. Got run over by slivers. Oh well.

I did get to play this deck again before Christmas Day. Unfortunately, it was only a three-player pod. One of the players kind of dominated with his Toralf deck, and the other player never really had anything to deal with that. If I'd had better topdecks, then I might have been able to turn this...

After having this deck lose pretty quickly in its first outing, I was hoping to try it a bit more before giving it to my brother. Well, the results are in, and this deck slaughtered everything over the course of three different games. Crucially, no one had removal to point at Imodane in these...

This deck continues racking up wins. I brought it out for the final game of Wednesday night. Apparently I'd been told "No board wipes" by the manager at the LGS, but I never heard that! One of my opponents had Forced Fruition and was digging for an Underworld Dreams effect to kill the rest of...

I designed this deck a week ago, and got the final pieces of it together on Wednesday evening. Christmas is next week, so I have some time to test it out before passing it to its rightful owner. I wanted to be sure that it packed as much of a punch as I thought it could. Don't want to give me...

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...

I built this deck for my brother as a Christmas gift. Commander: 1 Imodane, the Pyrohammer 1 Abrade 1 Ashling, Flame Dancer 1 Blazing Sunsteel 1 Bonus Round 1 Brash Taunter 1 Chain Lightning 1 Chaos Warp 1 Chrome Mox 1 Conspiracy Theorist 1 Demand Answers 1 Desperate Ritual 1 Dictate of the...

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...
