I am attempting to bring my love of Jeskai Ascendancy to EDH. Usually, decks built around this enchantment run green for mana dorks, but the color identity aspect of the rules in EDH makes that cumbersome. So this is a proper Jeskai deck. I realize that Jeskai Ascendancy gets a lot better with...

I've said before that I'm convinced the very first Magic card I saw was Teremko Griffin. It's quite likely that I was shown multiple cards from Mirage on that occasion, but Martin McKenna's striking art with the eagle head in the extreme foreground, the distinctive spotted coat in the middle...

A little over twenty years ago, I had a casual Hecatomb deck that I called "Fun With Swamps." I really enjoyed the deck, but took it apart and, unfortunately, never got around to putting it back together again. I started building a Pestilence deck for EDH, but it kind of turned into a Hecatomb...

Biollante is a monster that is part Godzilla, part rose, part dead lady. Makes sense, right? Nethroi is a monster that is part cat, part nightmare, and part beast. Somehow, Biollante is also Nethroi. I don't make the rules. There aren't any great commanders for W/B/G Pattern Rector shenanigans...

"As she grew, she learned to share her rapture with others." The idea behind this deck is to fill the graveyard and set up Replenish or a similar spell to put Opalescence + Parallax Wave + Parallax Tide + Parallax Nexus out. My opponents cards get raptured. It's my cards that are left behind...

Mostly, I just wanted to use Eater of the Dead alongside Phenax. But this deck has the original Millstone, so it's totally authentic stuff. I was missing some cards that I had the notion to run, so I might pick those up and do a different mill deck at a later date. We'll see. Commander 1...

I wanted a copy of Emiel back when Jumpstart first came out, but I never opened one back then. Now they reprinted it and now I can salvage some of the components from my Lathiel deck for further unicorn shenanigans. Commander: 1 Emiel the Blessed 1 Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward 1 Abundance 1...

I put Hypergenesis and Eureka in the same deck. I've never seen anyone else do that, and it's high time someone did. So now, someone has. Me. I did it. Commander 1 Maelstrom Wanderer 1 Ancient Copper Dragon 1 Anger 1 Annoyed Altisaur 1 Aurora Phoenix 1 Balefire Dragon 1 Beanstalk Giant 1...

Back when Slogurk was spoiled, I wanted to build a Slogurk deck. I have now built a Slogurk deck. Commander: 1 Slogurk, the Overslime 1 Abundance 1 Ancient Greenwarden 1 Arcane Denial 1 Azusa, Lost but Seeking 1 Bala Ged Recovery 1 Beast Within 1 Boseiju, Who Endures 1 Brainstorm 1 Breeding...

Reality is that which, when you reconfigure it onto a creature, scares the crap out of your opponents. Commander: 1 The Reality Chip 1 Academy Ruins 1 Aetherflux Reservoir 1 Ancient Tomb 1 Anvil of Bogardan 1 Arcane Denial 1 Ash Barrens 1 Basalt Monolith 1 Brainstorm 1 Chain of Vapor 1 Chrome...

I wasn't really interested in the whole "Background" mechanic. But Abdel caught my eye and the temptation to loop Dance of the Dead with this commander is too great. Commander: 1 Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward 1 Scion of Halaster 1 Ancient Tomb 1 Angel of Despair 1 Animate Dead 1 Archaeomancer's...

Commander 1 Tazri, Beacon of Unity 1 Acquisitions Expert 1 Allied Assault 1 Arcane Signet 1 Archaeomancer 1 Archpriest of Iona 1 Ardent Electromancer 1 Arid Mesa 1 Aven Mindcensor 1 Badlands 1 Bala Ged Recovery 1 Base Camp 1 Bayou 1 Beast Within 1 Bloodstained Mire 1 Chromatic Lantern 1 City of...

Pavel Maliki is generous, even if I don't have any cards in my hand. Hellbent on generosity? This is silly, but I wanted to do Grafted Skullcap again, and it's been a while. My Latin is not great, but I think Pavel's banner says something about God providing. This deck is going to need that...

Ragnar stands ready to serve as bodyguard to Auriok Salvagers, Urza, and friends. Then my creatures serve up delicious omelettes. Commander: 1 Ragnar 1 Aether Spellbomb 1 Aetherflux Reservoir 1 Alchemist's Vial 1 Ancient Den 1 Arcane Denial 1 Auriok Salvagers 1 Beast Within 1 Boseiju, Who...

Tameshi should probably be the commander here, but Jedit is a tiger-man, and that's like totally radical. Commander: 1 Jedit Ojanen 1 Academy Rector 1 Arcane Denial 1 Arcane Laboratory 1 Arcane Signet 1 Aura of Silence 1 Brainstorm 1 Cave of the Frost Dragon 1 Celestial Colonnade 1...

This one is pretty silly even by my standards. Return of the Nightstalkers is a bad Magic card. I am determined to see it succeed. While I'm using the nightstalkers, I might as well include Spirit of the Night, for the sake of Urborg Panther's ability (WotC should have made Spirit of the Night a...

Shadowborn Apostles! Rakdos colors probably aren't the best for this, but Lady Orca is a demon commander and needed a proper demon deck. This is one. Kind of. Commander: 1 Lady Orca 1 Archfiend of Depravity 1 Badlands 1 Blood Crypt 1 Bloodstained Mire 1 Culling the Weak 1 Dark Ritual 1 Demonic...

Experimenting with a higher power level here. Cormela is ridiculously good. Commander: 1 Cormela, Glamour Thief 1 Ad Nauseam 1 Aetherflux Reservoir 1 Arcane Denial 1 Arid Mesa 1 Ashnod's Altar 1 Badlands 1 Birgi, God of Storytelling 1 Bloodstained Mire 1 Bonus Round 1 Brain Freeze 1 Brainstorm...

Did you think a Tribal Update Report was never going to happen for this set? You were not quite right, in that case. I guess? Yeah, I fell way behind. But the next set isn’t out yet, so I figure this still counts. Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty takes us back to a plane we left 17 years ago. Feel old...
