Actually I guess that's not irony, jsut me being dum. :/

The EDH forum is pretty clear of idiots. All those are in Magic General.:V
If any of you have any questions about the format, check Zerg's thread (http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?t=1081819) on Gleemax, or ask me here.

[Mixed Berry Hotcakes.]

Since I know that you're thinking it, you can't play with Erayo.

Also Protip: Don't use any foils, or signed cards, or alternate arts arts or languages. If you do, the noobs will gang up on you out of jealousy.

hey zerg since i'm bored and it's 4:20 (lol) in the morning and i had nothing better to do than read through your article and get interested in edh:
I'm not Zerg, but I'll fill in while he is not here.

So for some kind of Life From the Loam-based recursion deck that primarily seeks to to use it as a card advantage vehicle (think thus (http://wut.ca/showthread.php?t=496)), what legend do you recommend? That's kind of a lazy question, so let me get more specific:

Obviously, something that synergizes with the core theme of my deck would be nice, but I guess it doesn't have to. Green is necessary, and I strongly believe Blue and White would be beneficial as well. The green dragon from Invasion sucks dick, and so do most of the TS dragons (Teneb is promising, as he has the rightish color spread and a very powerful, synergistic effect; the art is just ugly, though!). Molimo or that one guy who is like Molimo would work, but Molimo limits me to mono green which is bad news bears and the other guy is WUB, which fucks me color wise.

Any ideas?

My friend has a strong dredge deck, that uses Teneb as the general. The Molimo who does not suck, is named Multani, and he is a beating.
Also, is this a fairly solid idea? With Witness, Regrowth, and a host of other recursion cards (including Holistic Wisdom, which I would have sex with if it had a vagina), it should effectively be just like tutoring stuff up given how frequently I'd be Dredging through. Graveyard hate sucks, but there are a number of cards I could use to alleviate those.
It is a good idea, but as you've said graveyard hate sucks. Unfortunately blue is best at dealing with graveyard hate because it has counter spells. Although, W/G can wreck enchantments like Wheel of Sun and Moon and Leyline of the Void, which royally fuck your strategy.

I noticed none of the Wishes were banned. Really? It seems like absolutely every one of them (non-black obv) would be an auto-include for their colors simply because of how powerful the utility effect is.
There are no sideboards in EDH, so you can only fetch cards that have been RFGed(like a creature hit with Swords to plowshares).

Really? Grindstone is banned? Really?
Painter's Servant Grindstone is still retarded in this format.

[xXx]

Zur the Enchanter is a really good one. Myself, I use Horde of Notions. I usually forget to cast him though and just use my deck. I like to ramp to Tooth and Nail for Kiki Jiki and Pestermite.

[mrs_bun]

I was thinking of Zur.

Also, Grindstone is retarded because some decks will be mono color, I spose.

Intet, the Dreamer.

Mad engine on her own with both Spitting Image and Call the Skybreaker as her flunkies.

[RC]

The only time I played EDH, zammm destroyed me with his Rhys deck.

[mrs_bun]

I think I'm going with Sliver Overlord. XP

[RC]

No, only 5 of em. XP

ZERG EDH

//General
1x Kerrigan

//Creatures
1x Drone
1x Zergling
1x Hydralisk
1x Mutalisk
1x Guardian

etc.

:V


I'll actually read the thread when I have more than 5 minutes

[mrs_bun]

This isn't a bad format, tea, it's awesome!

Also lol wat?

[Fonzy]

Chance doesn't know anybody who plays Magic IRL.

[mrs_bun]

Jon, please learn to play.

[Zerg]

Green is necessary, and I strongly believe Blue and White would be beneficial as well. Rafiq of the many. Rawr. He's in the colors you like and he's ridiculous because he requires fast answers and pretty much all EDH decks plan for a slow game. Also, he 1-shots people with might of oaks :V

Or, if you wanna be original, I love Momir Vig. You can run a whole bunch of utility creatures and when you play one tutor for the next (optional: then you tutor for simic sky swallower and LOLSMASHFACE :V)

GrindstoneIs banned because of painter's servant.

Teach me!

Brb, reading thread on wotc. I said pretty much everything I have to say on topic of EDH in that thread. :P

I was thinking of Zur.Zur is good, but everyone and their mother runs it. Sliver Overlord is bad, but the other half of "everyone and their mother" runs it. If you're set on going with one of those, play Zur. Slivers are stupid and scoop to WoG. (Pretty much the same as in 60-card formats)

[mrs_bun]

They scoop to wrath? How?

Here are the slivers I'm using:

1x acidic sliver 2
1x blade sliver 3
1x bonesplitter sliver 4
1x brood sliver 5
1x cautry sliver 2
1x chameleon colossus 4
1x clot sliver 2
1x crypt sliver 2
1x crystalline sliver 2
1x darkheart sliver 2
1x dormant sliver 4
1x essence sliver 4
1x firewake sliver 3
1x frenetic sliver 3
1x frenzy sliver 2
1x fury sliver 6
1x gemhide sliver 2
1x ghostflame sliver 2
1x harmonic sliver 3
1x heart sliver 2
1x hibernation sliver 2
1x homing sliver 3
1x might sliver 5
1x mindlash sliver 1
1x mirror entity 3
1x mnemonic sliver 3
1x muscle sliver 2
1x necrotic sliver 3
1x opaline sliver 3
1x pulmonic sliver 5
1x quick sliver 2
1x root sliver 4
1x sedge sliver 3
1x Shadow Sliver 3
1x shapesharer 2
1x shifting sliver 4
1x sinew sliver 2
1x sliver legion 5
1x asliver queen 5
1x synapse sliver 5
1x telekinetic sliver 4
1x victual sliver 2
1x virulent sliver 1
1x winged sliver 2

HALP

I can't decide on a good general. :(

So I guess I'll start on hour three this week of reading through legends. XP

[Zerg]

Try Oona, Queen of the Fae

I <3 her. Black is awesome. You can play lots of black. Or you can play MUC, or you can play blue AND black (zomg).

In fact, here: http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?t=1147415

And when I said "slivers scoop to WoG" i meant that since slivers basically want to get a lot of slivers out and smash, they get severely owned by removal. One well-placed WoG + removal on your general over and over makes it pretty much impossible, unless you're super skilled and topdeck like Yugi.

[mrs_bun]

1x darkheart sliver
1x frenetic sliver
1x hibernation sliver
1x mnemonic sliver
1x pulmonic sliver

These in partic seem like they shore up most of the deck's weaknesses, tho, especially if you add stuff like fecundity, no rest for the wicked, or things like that to the deck. Heck, goblin bombardment wouldn't be terrible.

But basically what I want to do is make a deck with a legend not many people have played. I thought about rafik of ze many, but he seems kinda popular. I want to design a deck that is good with a card people overlook (not tobias andrion overlook, but you know what i mean.)

[RC]

Erayo is stupid good, but your friends will banish you.

Saffi makes for fun combo decks, so give her a shot.

Many of the Planar Chaos dragons seem fun.

My pet project was Stonebrow. Alas, aggro is tough.

[Mixed Berry Hotcakes.]

List of Generals that are playable says bamf.

Wydwen, the Biting Gale Empress Galina Tsabo Tavoc Teysa, Orzhov Scion Sygg, River Cutthroat Sliver Queen Sliver Overlord Selenia, Dark Angel Scion of the Ur-Dragon Sedris, the Traitor King Sharuum the Hegemon Rafiq of the Many Molimo, Maro Sorceror Progenitus Child of Alara Sapling of Colfenor Rhys the Redeemed Reaper King Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind Merieke Ri Berit Lyzolda, the Blood Witch Kaervek the Merciless Horde of Notions Oona, Queen of the Fae Hanna, Ship's Navigator Grand Arbiter Augustin IV Mageta the Lion Ghost Council of Orzhova Sakashima the Impostor Godo, Bandit Warlord Sisters of Stone Death Dosan the Falling Leaf Gaddock Teeg Experiment Kraj Doran, the Siege Tower Captain Sisay Bladewing the Risen Intet, the Dreamer.

Except that Intet and Sapling are taken. :V

Second this emotion.

The best part is that once you have enough lands you can start pulling 'woops i winz' out of your butt cheeks.

I'm going to make an Isamaru deck. :stare:

[RC]

10 Random Legends found with a random Legend generator:

Asmira, Holy Avenger
Garza Zol, Plague Queen
Ramses Overdark
Teneb, the Harvester
Wort, the Raidmother
Scion of the Ur-Dragon
Sapling of Colfenor
Isperia the Inscrutable
Halfdane
Ghost Council of Orzhova

Have fun!

[Clem]

Anyone interested in a Source EDH league/tournament? We could run it over MWS. Too bad MWS does not let you do multi.

[mrs_bun]

I'm going to make an Isamaru deck. :stare:

I was semi serious about this. >_>

[Mixed Berry Hotcakes.]

Rules question, how do cards like Spin into Myth and Condemn work on Generals? Are they banished to the bottom, or just removed from play?

Fool me once, shame on you.

[mrs_bun]

They can get shuffled into your deck and bounced as normal.

[Zerg]

[mrs_bun]

Your mom is supergay! :V

I am thinking about having a supercheap general and build an equipment/lolmightofoaks deck to beat em up.

I you think you can deal that much General damage to multiple players, have at it. If you're playing an EDH game with only two players... why are you playing EDH???

[Jenius]

Can we pretend goblin welder is legendary and run him?

[Clem]

Can we pretend goblin welder is legendary and run him?

Just run Arcum Dagsson instead. He is blue, and does a pretty good job of being a welder.

[mrs_bun]

Ew, no he doesn't. If you can't make Uba Masks dance, you can't be in my deck.

[Hallways of Always]

I'm rather interested. I might play using Oona, Wydwen, or Sygg. I'm in a U/B mood.

[Mixed Berry Hotcakes.]

I have no idea why you wouldn't always just play Horde of Notions control. The format seems slow enough that you can get away with playing five colors, and you can gain massive card advantage with Horde + Evoke. Plus, it seems like games are pretty much decided by bombs, and access to Reverse + Time Stretch + Demonic Tutor + Banefire seems insane. Or are there enough bombs in the format that this just doesn't matter?

One of the psuedofficial rules is that each player needs to have a different General, so only one Horde per table max. Plus, RFG Mulldrifter and you are seriously Gimped. 90% of the creatures in this format are way to awesome to ever give a shit about Shriekmaw.

[Zerg]

Or are there enough bombs in the format that this just doesn't matter?That.

You have access to pretty much the entire t1 cardpool. You can find enough bombs in every color... except monored and monowhite get gimped because they're baed at card advantage. And personally I find that "5-color good stuff" just isn't fun to play.

[Regret]

I haven't played with magical cards for almost 2 years but I'll be playing EDH on sunday. I'm using Intet as general. It's the only URG legend and my options are pretty limited-I'm just using cards that I can find from the parts of my collection that I have discovered in the house.
