Here's the deal y'all.

I wanted to play EDH. I read about the social contract, how decks are fun and flavorful. I heard about fantastic stories of games being hours long. So I built a deck, Animar with Primal Surge being the only non-permanent and skipped down to my LGS. After being CRUSHED, I learned about Duel Commander! I built a Brago and Kruphix deck, but neither really took off. The last time I took Brago in though, someone off-handedly suggested, Why not try Arcum Dagsson? Why not indeed?

Best decision I ever made! I built Arcum using a stax archetype, and find the challenge of playing under the effects of Winter Orb/Ward of Bones/Static Orb to be a fantastic puzzle every game. I took an earlier version of this deck back to my LGS last week and went from 0-4 to 2-1-1. I didn't have some key cards, like Rings or SoD in there, but still managed to hold my own. The only commander that really gave me trouble was Scion of the Ur, as I don't run a lot of spot removal.

I want this deck to be brutal. Using cards like Mana Web, Smokestack and Ward of Bones to create a situation where I can grind out the advantage is what I'm looking for. Having the Maelstrom Wanderer ask me every turn how many lands I have in play (because of Ward of Bones) and then having them sigh when I discard land cards to Trading Post really gets my goat.

I am a self-diagnosed troll as well. If I can run Decimator Web and Throne of Geth, I'll lock you down and then slowly poison you, just for the lulz.
