I built nine decks to teach newbies into EDH. They are all proactive and able to establish a board, with clean ways to close out a game and enough answers to keep opponents at bay.

I always built spellslinger decks and dismantled/sold them for being too control-ly. Finally, with Zaffai, Thunder Conductor and cards like Surge to Victory and Open Into Wonder, I can have a proactive gameplan. It is not easy to pilot the deck, but it pays off if done correctly. I love it!

Links to all nine decks: || 4/9 {W} || 3/9 {U} || 3/9 {B} || 5/9 {R} || 7/9 {G} ||

• {W}{U}{B}{R}{G} Smashing Faces with the Ur-Dragon
• {R}{G}{W} Hulk (Ghired) Smashs
• {R}{G}{W} Obuun, Landfall Ancestor
• {R}{G} All Hail The Ogre (Ruric Thar)

• {G}{U} Cloning in Great Style
• {U}{B} Anowon, the Rogue Thief
• {B}{G} Grismold, the Tokensower
