Iron Suit Riot [EDH]

[Oversoul]

I try to build some EDH deck with a commander for each new set that comes out. That's it. That's the reason I'm doing this. This Spider-Man set is underwhelming, but I saw the potential to use a bunch of the cards I'd already used a lot in my Omarthis deck. So now Omarthis goes in the maindeck and Iron Spider gets top billing. Could be fun.

This evening, I played this deck for the first time. I was actually going to drive to a different LGS yesterday, but had a train delay and was unpacking from vacation anyway, so I skipped that one.

I topdecked Mishra's Workshop on my first turn, so I started strong with my commander right away. My opponents had explosive starts as well, so I worked to draw cards and outrace them. Thanks to Inventors' Fair, I was able to set up Krark-Clan Ironworks + Nim Deathmantle + Su-Chi for infinite mana, and then looped Triskelion with the Ironworks and Deathmantle for infinite damage to my opponents.

Well, I piloted this deck against an extremely explosive Norman Osborn deck, but I was way outgunned. He copied Worst Fears on all three of his opponents. To deal with me, he made me use my own Inventors' Fair to find Krark-Clan Ironworks, then sacrificed my whole board to it.

So much for worrying that this deck would be too strong. I managed to get my commander and Crystalline Crawler onto the field. I had a method to draw extra cards. They were mostly lands. I died to some broken combo after failing to find any kind of credible threat or answer.

Played this deck last night in a one-on-one game against the same deck that crushed my goblins. Because more players were showing up, the other guy called for us to end the game so that we could run with a full pod. I didn't make him concede for it, but I do contend that I was totally winning.
