Paradox Ball [cEDH]

Commander / EDH*

jackeraya


Play elves, make mana, play more elves make more mana, draw cards with thrasios to keep going. Goldfishes around turn 4, im looking to make it a little bit faster.

Advantages and disadvantages compared to a usual cEDH deck Advantages: + can win from a relatively small boardstate + can play all the good hate: Null Rod, Rest in Peace, Stony Silence,Planar Void and Winter Orb + can abuse Glimpse of Nature and Gaea's Cradle to their full potential

Disadvantages: - if you fizzle with a big boardstate, someone's gonna wipe you, and it's gonna hurt - Humility, Linvala and Cursed totem hurt - relatively low interaction level - if you loose big board into exile it's gonna be hard to win - if you miss your key cards you will not do much - very color hungry

Packages you could add and cut: Artifact (combo) package: + Isocron Scepter for easy infinite mana with To Arms!, Dramatic Reversal and Benefactor's Draught + Umbra Mantle for infinite mana, perhaps with Masters of the Stoneforge and Skullclamp + Sol Ring, Mana Crypt, Mox Diamond, Chrome Mox with adding this package you should probably cut: - Null Rod, Stony Silence

Value grind package: + Root Maze + Seedborn Muse + Quest for Renewal + Interaction and value like Mana Drain, Force of Will, rhystic studies , Rashmi, Eternities Crafter, nothion thief, Aven Mindcensor... If you wanna play more like a control deck while gaining value though thrasios and dorks. If you go this way you should probably get ready to get wiped some times, pack some recursion and maybe go light on the gravehate. I suggest: + Yawgmoth's Will + Return to the Ranks + Immortal Servitude this might be too cute - Rest in Peace - Planar Void

Additional wincons: + Angel's Grace combined with Ad Nauseam and probably a Laboratory Maniac or some other way to win with your deck in hand. Keep in mind that without rocks, the deck needs a haste outlet and some starting mana to produce more mana.

Flash Hulk pile package: (I have not found a pile that wins directly with flashhulk that exists in the deck, so you would either need to adjust the deck, or rely of drawing into some parts of the combo naturally) + Flash + Protean Hulk (tutor package for this specifically:) Fierce Empath Spellseeker for the combo you will need: + Temur Sabertooth and some way to produce infinite mana with, depending on the boardstate. This can either be a combination of a way to give haste to a priest of titania producing at least 5 mana, or involving some lines with wirewood symbiot. To work these lines into the deck I suggest looking at the momir hackball primer here: hackball primer That beeing said, this doesn't win at instant speed and is probably not worth it since other decks just do it better.

Looking forward to your feedback!
