Short synopsis, this deck is brutal. It has personally won me more games than any other and its power is to wreck my opponents and shut them down as soon as possible.

It has more than enough control to stop my opponents from doing pretty much anything with the most powerful spells in my arsenal...

More in depth as I explain some of the choices and stipulations here...

a beta demo tutor is up for grabs, along with a mirror universe for second, and so forth.... I'm in second place.

A reasoning for my card choices, is to bash in 4 players in particular, trying to force them to play a different deck. If I focus on a single player, I can effectively neutralize them from playing. I hated combo so much I put together the deck to break combo decks to pieces.

Plus this deck is also built in mind to beating certain decks in a specific type of rules structure while abusing many of the multiplayer legal cards while also seeming to be a duel commander gunslinger style.

I do know how powerful creature swarm edric can be. But this isn't that style. It's tempo control.

The original version (creature swarm) can't win without resorting to an infinite win. This one gains a board state that's oppressive and there's times I'm holding 5 counterspells...

Below:

The Gauntlet Commander tournament is designed to test your skills in various formats of Commander using the same deck. It is a point based system with standings at the end to be decided based on your final score. There are three rounds with each being a different format.

Round 1

The first round is a free-for-all multiplayer game. Pods will be created at random and regular multiplayer rules apply. Points will be awarded based on two things. One point is awarded for each player you eliminate from the game, as well as an extra point to the last person standing.

NOTE 1: No points are awarded for eliminating a player using an infinite combo in this round. Yes you can wipe out the table using an infinite combo but thatll only net you 1 point for being the pod winner. The three things that are looked out for are Infinite Mana, Infinite Damage, and Infinite Turns. (Making infinite creatures counts as infinite damage).

NOTE 2: Players are not allowed to attempt to eliminate themselves unless the end result would net them at least 1 point. This is to prevent players from commiting suicide to deny someone a point they earned. On a similar note, conceeding during round 1 will result in you being dropped from the tournament.

NOTE 3: In the event that the round goes to time, each remaining player will be awarded 1 point.

Round 2

Based on point standings in round 1 each player will be paired with another player for a 2v2 multiplayer match. This is not two-headed giant! Each player has their own life total and their own turns. Players on the same team will be seated across from each other and will work together to eliminate the other team. Winning this round will net both players on your team 3 points if youre both standing, or 2 points if your team wins and youre down to 1 player. Also, if your team loses this round but eliminated an opponent, the players on your team will be awarded 1 point.

Round 3

The final round of the Gauntlet event will be 1v1 best of 3. This will proceed the same as a round of our regular Sunday Commander events. Winning this round in two games will net you 3 points. Winning it in three games will earn you 2 points, and the loser will score 1 point.

Have fun
