Commander: Braids, Conjurer Adept

Maybeboard


A fun multiplayer EDH deck that uses Braids, Conjurer Adept to achieve some pretty ludicrous board states. In order to take advantage of this, this deck is chock-full of big blue fatties that Braids is happy to conjure up.

The deck currently has a few additional methods of powering fatties onto the field. Gate to the AEther is tons of fun, Quicksilver Amulet is classic, Deathrender helps me keep up with removal, and Omniscience is particularly great when combined with draw effects.

I try to keep a critical mass of creatures (which hovers around 40) in order to keep the deck running smoothly (meaning it continues to churn out fatties). To accomplish this, I include as many creatures as I can that are also sources of card advantage. Sphinx of Magosi is the cream of the crop.

In order to try and keep a lid on the aforementioned ludicrous board states that I facilitate creating, I do a few things. One important element is controlling creatures (like the Eldrazi with Annhiliator abilities, Roil Elemental, Sphinx Ambassador , and Colossal Whale). I also run some efficient bounce, as well as a small suite of counterspells. These are not to eliminate the fun that my opponents can have with Braids, but rather to prevent potentially out-of-control board states.

(Also, I really wish I could play Quest for Ula's Temple, but I just can't find enough relevant creatures that I like to justify it. Maybe when they print Kiora, they'll print a bunch of expensive leviathans. I can only hope.)

All in all this deck is supposed to be fun.

Comments on the above, and all discussion points (and +1s, of course) are greatly appreciated.
