The weird trend of this deck being in quasi-unfinished games a lot gets a new entry. I was in a rough spot for a while, but Winds of Rath leveled the playing field somewhat. Casting of Bones was putting in work, and I brought it back from my graveyard multiple times, digging up some useful tools...

Played this deck last night. Got a strong start with first turn Sol Ring into Ruby Medallion. Had to recover from a board wipe, but pulled it off a couple turns later. I had everything set up to execute an infinite loop on my next turn, using Zirilan of the Claw to fetch Zodiac Dragon while also...

That's twice now. This deck won a game that it had no business winning. Well, the player with the strongest deck at the table had really bad luck and was stuck holding my Akroan Horse. Meanwhile, a player with a deck themed around Radiant (the archangel) was sacrificing tokens a lot, which fed...

Tried this deck again last night. Again, I was mostly just overpowered. Actually, one person pretty much dominated the whole table. Frustratingly, I drew some removal and disruption that could have gone against the dominant player, just because of suspicion regarding my commander's ability. It's...

Played this deck for the last game at the most recent Wednesday Commander Night. It was holding its own, but the store was closing and no winner was in sight. In fact, the game was well-balanced and shaping up to be a good one. Too bad we got such a late start on it! At the time we had to start...

This deck keeps racking up wins. And Goblin Sharpshooter continues to fascinate me with its quirks! I missed an opportunity to save myself a bunch of damage because I kinda got shouted down by the rest of the table due to a bit of rules confusion. One of my opponents was plyaing Prossh...

I played this deck for my first game of the evening last Wednesday. The game ran long with a lot of back-and-forth. I was doing well for most of it, but started to fall behind due to the sheer number of board wipes and my lack of card advantage. I'm kinda OK with that because I deliberately...

I threw this deck together somewhat hastily and haphazardly. Shay Cormac was one of the only commanders from the "Assassin's Creed" set to pique my interest, and I was particularly drawn to the use of Heaven's Gate and Touch of Darkness as tools to throw bounty counters on all opposing...

It's been a long time, but Terror of Mount Velus came through for me again. When revising this deck, I've always kind of had my eye on this dragon as a potential cut. Seems like I rarely use it. But it closed the game out for me in my final game this Wednesday. I had a pretty strong board state...

Had some fun with this deck, but ended up just barely getting stuck in a spot where I knew I'd get taken out. A player across the table from me was overly suspicious of Abyssal Persecutor, a card that never helped me this game at all and only served to paint a target on my head for this one...

Played this deck and had it get completely run over again. It's hard to tell when people are bringing high-power decks to casual tables and when I'm safe to run slower decks like this one. Going to try taking it in stride instead of reflexively building something to stomp them again. Whenever I...

It occurs to me only now that if Cayth proliferates tokens made by Kiki-Jiki, then the ones I made off proliferation won't expire at the end of the turn. Missed opportunity there and I could probably have won at least a turn earlier if I'd noticed that interaction. Oops! I mean, the deck worked...

In honor of Independence Day, I played this deck twice on Wednesday night. OK, it's more like it went poorly the first time so I tried again. First game I dropped Sisters of the Flame into Scuttlemutt and was set up to us them both for building a solid board state on my fifth turn. Before I...

This ended up being the last deck I played on Wednesday night. Another player at the table was also playing a PreDH deck and a third player was new. You'll never guess who won. Yeah, it was the fourth player, with a deck that far outclassed the rest of us. And he took his time with it, too...

Played this deck on Wednesday night. Can't remember too much about the game. I think that I had enough mana and got some good creatures out, but found myself stalling out a bit. Twilight Drover was working well, but not well enough, apparently.

Played this deck on Wednesday night. Not too memorable. I took too long to get access to my colors, and ended up being slaughtered by some broken thing. I might have stood some chance if I hadn't been manascrewed, but I also might have just died anyway, as I think one of my opponents was packing...

Played this deck on Wednesday night. It ended up being the only game of the night that I actually won. The deck got to ramping fairly quickly, then stalled out for a few turns. Fortunately, my board state was enough of a deterrent that I was able to work toward six lands and cast Time Spiral...

Stuff going on in my life delayed the creation of my deck helmed by a commander from Modern Horizons 3, but we have arrived. I just can't stay away from Jeskai Ascendancy. Also, I was going to need a deck for the Fourth of July anyway, so this can serve both purposes. While setting up Jeskai...

I have reconstructed this deck. For now, I have no changes to the list. Despite a seemingly slow start and some scary opponents, I was able to land Rings of Brighthearth + Basalt Monolith into All Is Dust. One opponent blew up Rings of Brighthearth, but I followed that up with Power Artifact...
