Talrand multiplayer edh..

Firstly, I've been playing EDH since 2007. EDH has been my format of choice since then. I've built all kinds of decks ranging from uber competitive to super casual, and everything in between. I'm constantly making new decks and tweaking the ones I have. I'm an EDH addict.

This deck at its core is a draw-go control deck. The deck does not function at all without its commander so getting Talrand out early and protecting him is important. Once he's online we try to stop our opponents from comboing off or killing us, while making free 2/2 drake. Use the drakes to attack or block, depending on the board state.

The only creature in the deck is Tidespout Tyrant. The reason for this is that you can turn a 2/2 drake into him with Proteus Staff or Reweave. This is pretty good because the deck plays so many cheap spells and cantrips. You can easily bounce every problem permanent in play.

Opposition is really great with lots of drakes. So is Coat of Arms. This deck doesn't combo off. We just control the board and beat down with 2/2 flying drakes.
