Oversoul
The Tentacled One
Here's yet another wacky creation for the West Coast Commander League. Having at least nine elk and/or caribou over the course of the game wasn't worth enough points for how hard it is to pull off. But Caribou Range got me there. It's totally a legitimate Magic card.
My favorite play of the night was casting Eldritch Evolution (good card usually used to cheat out a busted creature) and fetching Heliod's Pilgrim in order to fetch Caribou Range. No one saw that coming!
But really, I did botch this one a bit. I forgot about how the "Gift Exchange" point had the requirement of leaving the game (either losing or winning it). This deck was equipped to slow the game down and protect itself, but not built to kill people, so in two out of three games I just let someone kill me even though I could have tried to stop it. Oops. Thinking I'll try to make the next deck more deadly...
