All the listed cards are the cards that currently exist in the real EDH and are subject to change over time. A goal for this EDH is to make it faster as it is already fairly efficient and stupid powerful.

One way to accomplish the goal of making it faster is to lower the mana curve, a goal accomplished by replacing functional reprints with superior versions. Any suggestions are more than welcome to helping make Kresh a more efficent spender.However, due to budget constraints there are some cards that simply can't be used to lower the mana curve. Replacing Bloodgift Demon with Dark Confidant would be awesome for everything except my wallet T-T.

The main kill con is actually not Kresh, but his lieutenants (a.k.a. Varolz, Olivia, Rakka Mar, Sheoldred, Vorinclex,) and the great beast weapons they wield (Craterhoof, Grave Titan, etc.). Using Kresh as an alternate kill con allows for the deck itself to be more powerful without running the classic Kresh build of big Devour creatures, tokens, and other sac outlets.

The main form of support for the kill conditions is draw/search power. As soon as you're drawing two cards to your opponent's one they simply cannot catch up. The secondary form of support for Kresh is permanent destruction :) (Kresh's army is very good at blowing up anything on the board). Although I have found one extremely annoying answer to all of the hate that I really need help with: Avacyn. There is almost nothing that this deck can do once she comes out. Craterhoof CAN manage to end the game and Sever the Bloodline can get rid of her, however, if they slap protection on her then its an almost guranteed game over. Any suggestions that could be used to stop her would be more than appreciated.
