Well, the goal wasn't to bog down games. But it also wasn't to speed them up. Anyway, I played two games with this deck. I should almost certainly have won the first game. I could have killed the Superfriends player with Illusions of Grandeur, but I didn't. That's what I get for trying to be...

Lost a game that I think I could have won, but botched because I was dumb. I had Hakim, Phyrexian Altar, and Treachery, with Intuition in my hand. But I played the wrong cards and used Hakim's ability on the wrong aura for no reason. I think that I could have gone infinite two turns earlier...

Ho, ho, ho! Merry Christmas. Zedruu is here to give my opponents lots of presents, whether they like it or not. Commander: 1 Zedruu the Greathearted 1 Akroan Horse 1 Arbiter of Knollridge 1 Arcane Denial 1 Arid Mesa 1 Avaricious Dragon 1 Bazaar Trader 1 Bloodstained Mire 1 Brainstorm 1...

This deck has not had a fair shake. First game I got outclassed by big mana production early on at the hands of two separate opponents. Tried to fight back, but this mostly just ended up deciding which of the two would take over the game completely. Amusingly, I lasted just long enough to cause...

This deck has to be next on the chopping block. I think it's currently standing at five wins, zero losses. It's not even an amazing deck, but it's been in the right place at the right time. Also, Kayla's ability is kinda broken.

This deck lost a couple of games it probably had no business being in. Despite the considerable power that Marhault can punch with, and how well this deck utilizes that, it's really a medium-power deck at best. I used the deck too recklessly in games where I should have selected something...

I used to be sad about this deck, but it's gotten to the point where it's kind of funny, in an exasperating way. The deck's not that bad! I promise it's not that bad. There are good cards here. I've come this close to making gamebreaking plays, and somehow it always falls apart. Every single...

I had this idea in the early months of 2022, but didn't own all of the various auras I thought that I might want to run, so I abandoned the deck idea at the time. Well, I'd only run a single mono-blue deck all year (The Reality Chip), and felt like doing another one. So, here we are. I've never...

Only played one game with this one, but I'll keep it around. Did a lot better than I thought it would. I thought that what's essentially "Oops, All Snow Cards" would be so clunky that the power level would be really crappy. Instead, this is kind of a middling deck. I'd like my chances against...

Let's not forget that Forsaken Monument + Basalt Monolith makes infinite mana. I sure didn't, when I saw both cards in my opening hand. Amusingly, I didn't have anything to actually spend the infinite mana on when this first hit the table. Mystic Forge eventually dug through my library to hit...

Tried this deck again. Did a lot of damage to all three opponents. Two of them were big threats to me and I had to divide my focus. Perhaps I misplayed that game. Eventually I went for a big play with Wheel of Fortune and totally whiffed on it, drawing four lands, Jeweled Lotus, Taurean Mauler...

Still playing this deck. Still winning with it. Not sure how long I want to keep it together. Probably a while. On the one hand, I am fond of it and it's not really getting in the way of building new decks. Almost every card in this deck that's not from the precon is something I have multiple...

I'm kind of phoning this one in, but I'd been wanting to do that for a while now, and this seems like as good a time as any. All of my most recent EDH decks, with the sole exception of poor Rohgahh, have done well for themselves. So now I'm building some jank that can lose more games and give me...

I'd been anticipating this for a year, and had a general outline of my modifications to the precon set up for most of that time. I wrote up a plan for the modifications by July and had the physical stack of 18 cards sitting on a table in my bedroom by September. So when I finally got the package...

Well, this deck won both games I tried it, so that's good. But really only the second game tested the deck at all. First time, I spent a few turns building a board state, then happened to topdeck what I needed for Dockside Extortionist to rush out Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Coercive Recruiter...

This deck continues to dominate. Got both Ugins out and was able to protect them for the win.

This deck can stall out sometimes, but it's good. I wound up in a tense game against Light-Paws, Emperor's Voice. I was stuck with hardly any land, and at one point had to use Elvish Reclaimer to sacrifice my only forest to get Maze of Ith for protection, so my lands were just Maze of Ith...

Still can't catch a break. Looking back, it's surreal how much better my old Rohgahh deck did.

After waiting nearly a year since I ordered it, I finally got my Secret Lair commander deck. This is the adjusted version I devised early in 2022, when I labored under the foolish misapprehension that I'd get my hands on the Secret Lair much earlier. The list you're seeing here is different from...

Mostly, I just thought that a deck built around Queen Kayla bin-Kroog seemed like an interesting and unique challenge. I don't usually find myself drawn to commanders in this color combination, so I'm trying something a little different. This will be my 49th EDH deck of 2022, and if it's more of...
