EDH ELITE STYLE

Something a little different this week, today ill be talking about EDH and the deck I am building after a little break from the "casual" format.

As some of you may know I am the worst player to play against at EDH (commander in the eyes of Wizards). I like playing silly cards like Thieves' Auction, and casting an infinite fireball killing 5 other players (its a fun game right) so this led to me sitting out from playing EDH................until now.

So as I was looking though Mark Hammond's (Patriot Games Leeds store owner) folders at our monthly Steel City, for a general that suited me:-


WARNING 1: MONO BLUE

So here she is....... I like blue, I like combos and I like more combos :). This was the best general for me, so i tyred to fit as many good cards in to the deck and lots of combos, here's the deck and the combos I can pull off:-

WARNING 2: COMBOS

Filter through your deck.

2. Future Sight/Magus of the Future + Etherium Sculptor/Helm of Awakening + Sensei's Divining Top
Draw your deck.

3. High Tide + Palinchron
Generate infinite mana.

4. Combo 1 + Diviner's Wand
Swing for lethal general damage.

5. Combo 2 + Combo 3 + Blue Sun's Zenith
Deck everyone but yourself.

6. Sage of Fables + Glen Elendra Archmage
Counter wall.

7. Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir + Knowledge Pool
Spell lock.

Here are seven combos that I can pull off, these may seem boring ( I guess they look it in black and white), but I like combos ask anyone that knows me I am "Johnny combo".

 
She has to be one of the best generals and only costing £1.50 I think she is worth getting jumped on buy the fellow players.

WARNING 1: mono blue

It isn't just mono blue that makes decks silly its any mono colour deck, although mono blue is the best. Some people like to go for two colour or three, and some like 5 colour. Mono colour EDH decks are really strong and hated out by other players this is the reason for the WARNING

WARNING 2: combos

Although combos are good, a lot of people just want to have fun and play the game, not sit there and watch you combo off, but combos have found there way in to almost every EDH deck i know, some combos only work well with 1 v 1 EDH and others in multiplayer and some in both, combos can be fun, but the next time you play you will probably die first. This is the reason for this WARNING. 

That's all guys and gals, next week I be bringing you the low down on the PTQ and the deck I played


thanks again for reading.

"combo" Mike
