Oversoul
The Tentacled One
I built a pretty bad deck this time and it was bad because I was bad. But it won two out of three games anyway and accrued the most league points for the day. I attribute this to the awesome power of Sir Shandlar. After all who could forget the rallying cry of the Eberyn militia...
...nevermind. I'll stop. Here's my list.
Commander:
1x Sir Shandlar of Eberyn
1x Abundance
1x Alchemist's Vial
1x Ancient Den
1x Arcum's Astrolabe
1x Arid Mesa
1x Auriok Salvagers
1x Buried Ruin
1x Chromatic Sphere
1x Chromatic Star
1x City of Traitors
1x Cloud Key
1x Command Tower
1x Conjurer's Bauble
1x Crop Rotation
1x Crystal Vein
1x Darksteel Citadel
1x Eladamri's Call
1x Elsewhere Flask
1x Enlightened Tutor
1x Eternal Witness
1x Evolving Wilds
1x Expedition Map
1x Fabled Passage
1x Faerie Guidemother
1x Faith's Reward
1x Fecundity
1x Flaxen Intruder
1x Flooded Strand
1x Foundry Inspector
1x Giant Killer
1x Gingerbrute
1x Golden Egg
1x Harrow
1x Helm of Awakening
1x Ichor Wellspring
1x Inventors' Fair
1x Jhoira's Familiar
1x Krark-Clan Ironworks
1x Lifespark Spellbomb
1x Lightning Greaves
1x Lion's Eye Diamond
1x Lotus Petal
1x Lovestruck Beast
1x Mana Crypt
1x Mana Vault
1x Marsh Flats
1x Maze of Ith
1x Memory Jar
1x Mind Stone
1x Misty Rainforest
1x Mox Diamond
1x Mox Opal
1x Mystic Forge
1x Oakhame Ranger
1x Open the Vaults
1x Path to Exile
1x Praetor's Counsel
1x Prismatic Vista
1x Pursuit of Knowledge
1x Regrowth
1x Roar of Reclamation
1x Rout
1x Saffi Eriksdotter
1x Savannah
1x Scrap Trawler
1x Seasons Past
1x Second Sunrise
1x Sensei's Divining Top
1x Shepherd of the Flock
1x Silverflame Squire
4x Snow-Covered Forest
4x Snow-Covered Plains
1x Sol Ring
1x Spike Weaver
1x Springleaf Drum
1x Strip Mine
1x Sunbeam Spellbomb
1x Sungrass Egg
1x Swords to Plowshares
1x Sylvan Library
1x Talisman of Unity
1x Temple Garden
1x Thran Dynamo
1x Tree of Tales
1x Triskelion
1x Umezawa's Jitte
1x Verdant Catacombs
1x Wasteland
1x Windswept Heath
1x Wooded Foothills
1x Worldly Tutor
1x Wrath of God
1x Zuran Orb
So, this was the first time anyone in the West Coast Commander League used one of the original vanilla legendary creatures. Collectively, we'd already showcased 18 out of the 55 originals, but all of those had some abilities. In the case of Bartel Runeaxe or Livonya Silone, those abilities might not be especially helpful, but that's not the point. Sir Shandlar of Eberyn has no abilities whatsoever. The option to try to hit opponent with equipped knights was the inspiration for this, but I didn't really end up doing that in my games. Instead, I got beaten up very badly, but kept using "eggs" (cheap artifacts that draw cards and then die so that Second Sunrise can bring them back).
With some upgrades to this rather odd list, a more properly tuned and robust white/green Second Sunrise combo deck in EDH could easily be viable. For such a purpose, I would not recommend Sir Shandlar as your commander. But it's what I did!
