OHHHH KURSES

Commander / EDH PonderousJabs

SCORE: 8 | 9 COMMENTS | 483 VIEWS | IN 2 FOLDERS

Changed the commander from Child of Alara to Karona, False God. This fits better with the theme of my deck regarding arming the other players with things so they can beat each other up.

OHHHH KURSES

Commander / EDH PonderousJabs

SCORE: 8 | 9 COMMENTS | 483 VIEWS | IN 2 FOLDERS

Took out Future Sight and Gisela, Blade of Goldnight

Added Bitter Feud and Gahiji, Honored One

Future sight and Gisela were just too cumbersome to cast.

Bitter Feud and Gahiji add some more enticing reasons for my opponents to beat each other up!

A Gruesome Slaughter

Commander / EDH PonderousJabs

SCORE: 3 | 2 COMMENTS | 590 VIEWS | IN 1 FOLDER

So I changed up the deck, mainly the manabase. More Eldrazi added and a few switcheroos in artifacts as well. I wish I could have listed all the cards in and out, but alas I can't. So the deck that is currently posted is the most updated version. Any thoughts …

Anax and Cymede, Hero EDH

Commander / EDH nobu_the_bard

SCORE: 4 | 3 COMMENTS | 908 VIEWS | IN 3 FOLDERS

Significant changes to improve resilience and aggressiveness; these are cumulative over the last year.


- Akroan Conscriptor: In practice, too expensive. Never get to cast them.
- Chromatic Lantern: Has not been helping hugely on its own, and I have another deck that could use it better.
- Intangible …

SCORE: 5 | 8 COMMENTS | 859 VIEWS

ModGob went 3-2 in swiss, losing against the decks that would come in 1 and 2. I beat a mardu deck that was not quite ready for primetime, a monowhite deck that I did not let get its footing, and one of the RW burns I faced. RW burn and …

This build has been going quite nicely. 2-0 versus Grixis (games went too fast for me to be able to tell quite what he was playing), 2-1 versus another Goblin build, and 2-1 vs. Infect. I even took a Lantern control deck in later testing 2-0. I am having a …

A smaller turnout last night with only six competitors still yielded some interesting games.

My first opponent was attempting to field an Abzan deck, but he was having some trouble getting to this white mana sources. His Warden of the First Trees and Rakshasa Deathdealers made me dance a bit …

Small but competitive 10-player tournament. I completely reworked my sideboard with heroic builds in mind. I went 2-0-1.

Match 1 was my draw, going up against a WU heroic deck that blew me out game 1 (t2 Hero of Iroas, t3 W and U ordeals.) Game 2 saw him manascrewed, …

Dragonspeaking (Top 4!)

Standard Korombos

SCORE: 2 | 5 COMMENTS | 520 VIEWS

This Sunday, we went 4-rounds, top-4 prizes, and I managed to squeak in at 4th place. My first opponent was running an Abzan build, and I was worried there for a bit but I managed the win (2-0). My second game was against a mono-black build; it was swingy there …

Mayael, Friend of Monsters EDH

Commander / EDH nobu_the_bard

SCORE: 1 | 1 COMMENT | 1584 VIEWS | IN 1 FOLDER

This update attempts to address some issues with my slow mana holding me back. My experiment with Anax and Cymede, Hero EDH and its lack of lands that come into play tapped have helped its speed considerably, so I'm trying some things out here.

Removed:
- Boros Garrison: it's too slow
- Khalni Garden: …

This deck is finally getting an update published! It'd been nearly a year, wow. It actually has had some changes over that year, a few, and this is just reflecting that.


-Belbe's Portal: I need more tools that can work with my non-insect creatures (particularly the spiders)
-Gleeful Sabotage: …

These updates happened ages ago but I've been too busy with work to note them. I need the list updated though so I can choose Commander 2014 cards wisely.


- Dawn Charm: Found a more flexible alternative.
- Mountain: Need more white.
- Phantom General: The deck has problems …
