Heartless Son of a Bitch

Commander / EDH

Been playing this deck for several years now. There wasn't much support for him back when he first came out but over the years he's gotten some love. Unlike most of the Heartless decks I've seen this one invests 100% in trying to kill you with "Harry". I've had several 1st turn kills with this deck which is always fun (for me anyways).

Suggestions are always welcome but anything that slows down the deck likely won't be considered.

It's weaknesses are early disruption which surprisingly is not all that frequent. People never seem to realize that by turn 3 it's the "danger zone". I will add that the extra turn cards such as Final Fortune and Glorious End are GREAT! You can treat Glorious End as a Counterspell in the right conditions.

The Blue Hate (Pyroblast and Red Elemental Blast) are in the deck to help Harry hit the board. If I suspect my commander will be killed as soon as he is on the board then I try and make sure he has haste Thousand-Year Elixir, Mass Hysteria, ect or that I can give him haste in response to him being targeted, IE Hanweir Battlements. However there is nothing I can do if you stop Harry from ever hitting the board, thus why these two cards are in the deck.

Everything else seems pretty self evident but if you have any questions just ask.

People have asked how the deck can win on turn one. Below is an example starting hand that has won on turn 1.

Starting Hand (with draw) - Overblaze Mana Crypt Mountain Lotus Petal Lightning Greaves Treasonous Ogre plus two other cards (they will not be used).

Play your mountain, Mana Crypt and Lotus Petal and use them all putting 4 mana in your mana pool to play Treasonous Ogre. Using his ability pay 15 life to play Heartless Hidetsugu. Pay 6 more life to play Lightning Greaves but DO NOT equip yet. Then pay 12 more life for Overblaze targeting Harry. Then equip boots - check life total (you should be at 7 life) and tap Harry for the win.

It's rare but it can happen. I've also won on my turn 1 by taking an extra turn and winning on the extra turn. It does not always work out and I've lost plenty but it's all about taking risks with Harry.
