I was really excited to try this deck out because it's probably my second favorite PDH deck after the Khabal Ghoul deck. Well, I got ran over by a token swarm super early. My friend built a deck helmed by Evangel of Heliod and it popped off. Defensive capabilities of this deck might need to be...

On Wednesday night this week, I got five PDH games, so I managed to get a game in with each of my new decks for that format, albeit in a pod of only three players. This one was first. It was rough. In this deck's first outing, it only ever drew Bequeathal as an aura to put on the commander and...

Changed Mountains to Snow-Covered Mountains for Thermopod (technically, I'm too lazy to pull the snow lands from my regular EDH decks, so we're actually split 25/9 between snow and non-snow at the moment, but that will change). Added sticker sheet deck for the Unfinity goblin. I'd forgotten to...

Of course I was going to build a Rabid Wombat deck. Commander: 1 Rabid Wombat 1 Aggressive Instinct 1 Ancestral Mask 1 Ashnod's Altar 1 Aura Gnarlid 1 Avoid Fate 1 Beastmaster's Magemark 1 Bequeathal 1 Bite Down 1 Bramble Elemental 1 Broken Fall 1 Cartouche of Strength 1 Cultivate 1 Dawn's...

I wanted to try to make Ruby Storm in Pauper EDH. This is my take on that. I forgot that Grinning Ignus was originally printed at common and not uncommon. While it is legal as a commander in the format, this now feels awkward. I'll mess around with this one and see whether I keep it or turn it...

Iridescent Drake is one of my favorite cards. So when I got into Pauper EDH, I knew I had to build a deck helmed by this thing. Mono-blue auras don't pack much of a punch at common, but the core gameplan here is to set up Iridescent Drake + False Demise + Ashnod's Altar and sink that infinite...

My second Pauper EDH deck. I love Auriok Salvagers and had to try to build a deck around it. Commander: 1 Auriok Salvagers 1 Afterlife 1 Ancient Den 1 Antler Skulkin 1 Arcane Signet 1 Arcbound Mouser 1 Arcbound Prototype 1 Ash Barrens 1 Ashnod's Altar 1 Ashnod's Transmogrant 1 Barbed Sextant 1...

I occurs to me that I don't think there was any discussion of this variant at the CPA prior to me posting my first decklist. Now that I'm obsessed with Pauper EDH, I think it deserves a thread. First, the rules... This is obviously inspired by the Pauper format, a format which I've mocked...

-1 Cheerful Osteomancer +1 Reaping the Graves I'd originally intended to run Reaping the Graves in this deck. Couldn't find a copy. Picked on up right before my first actual game with it. So now we're running it. I played three games with this deck last Wednesday, and it was amazing...

I've been invited to play Pauper EDH. When I was asked about playing this variant in the past, I generally said no. But eventually I hit on an idea of being ostentatious about it. The format only allows commons in the maindeck and the commander can be any uncommon creature. So I decided I'd run...

After a long game last night, I botched some lines of play and wasn't able to win. Well, I had a winning board state, but I passed the turn and let the opponent with 9 life activate Halo Fountain for the win. It was a good game, but also the second time this deck had to operate under Mornsong...

Played this deck last night. The board state stalled for a while, and eventually the suite of abilities granted to all of my creatures by Krang gave me the edge I needed to swing in for lethal damage on my opponents. I emerged battered, but victorious.

Played this deck on Saturday after a cube draft in a 3-man pod. I managed to use Cowardice + Rhystic Deluge just in time to stop a spirits tribal deck from running over the rest of the table. From there I was able to pull some stuff off, but eventually ran out of tricks and was stuck in topdeck...

Last night, I kept an opening hand with five lands, then kept topdecking more lands. I used Time Spiral with eight cards in my hand, just because nothing in my hand was doing anything anyway. On the turn before one of my opponents was about to kill us all, I cast Cataclysm, buying some time. I...

Played this deck in yet another game where it was completely outclassed. One of my opponents was playing a very high power-level deck. Didn't stand a chance.

Somehow, this deck actually won another game. I kept an opening hand with Thawing Glaciers and just barely managed to get enough defense to protect myself from the occasional attacks swung my way as my opponents focused on each other. There was a lot of back-and-forth, but my grindy Simic...

I got to take this into its first game last night. I was outclassed by everyone else at the table, but got to have a bit of fun messing with them anyway. I even managed to kill Visara the Dreadful with Earthbind.

Back in 2019, one of my decks built for the West Coast Commander League was helmed by Gosta Dirk and crammed full of cards to attempt to fulfill special point categories for the League. One of the point categories involved causing creatures to gain flying, so I threw in Predator, Flagship and a...

In an analysis where I called out so many of my own old takes as being dubious, I'm going to have to admit, just a few years later, that I am finding some of my own comments to exhibit the same problem. I don't intend to fully review the whole thread. At least not yet. But since I happened to...

Thread necromancy! I was looking for something else and accidentally found this instead. Anyway... I have to contradict 25-year-old Oversoul on this one. He was young and stupid. Or perhaps more diplomatically, I have seen players get a lot of mileage from Starke of Rath in EDH. Looking it up...
