This primer and the decks discussed herein are a work in progress. Please take a look and help me develop this meta/format/tournament thing-a-ma-jig.

Arc is a way of playing 4 player EDH/Commander in a tournament setting while having a lot of control over the meta.

Right now there are 4 rounds to play and each round players choose between 5 pre-constructed decks. The point leader chooses last in each round.

5 points for 1st

3 points for 2nd

1 point for 3rd

0 for 4th

Folder of rounds

The decks in each round are only meant to be played against each other. At this time I am still trying to balance them and keep the price TCG Low down under $130. It seems everyday the price creeps higher.

White Equipment/Aura, Red Goblins, Green Elves, Blue Wizards, and Black Rats.

Baird, Steward of Argive - Arc 1 - Equipment-Aura

Krenko, Mob Boss - Arc 1 - Goblins

Ezuri, Renegade Leader - Arc 1 - Elves

Naban, Dean of Iteration - Arc 1 - Wizards

Ayara, First of Locthwain - Arc 1 - Rats

I know that Elves and Goblins are the quick picks so I'd like some help turning them down or picking some hate cards for the other decks. ( It's literally why Baird, Steward of Argive is the White commander)

Take a look at the decks individually to see how they match up and the strengths and weaknesses.
