It's Off To Work We Go - Zinnia, Seven Dwarves EDH

Commander / EDH Dwarf Jank RUW (Jeskai, America) Tokens

This is probably my fourth try to get Seven Dwarves to work. When I saw them I knew I wanted to build a deck around them.

But 7!! 7 isnt enough to make them work for EDH, but clones... ohh the clones. The first commander I tried was Nin, the Pain Artist, but she never saw action and didnt work with my clones ablity. I then switched to Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer, and even tried a Sakashima of a Thousand Faces/Rograkh, Son of Rohgahh partnership.

Saw Zinnia, Valley's Voice and thought i would give it another try, addng white to the mix

With the seven, plus Dwarven Recruiter, Imperial Recruiter and Muddle the Mixture, thats 10 cards that I would be happy to see in my opening hand. Because of how probability works, this actually gives me a 53% chance to have a clone-able dwarf by turn 4. I admit this deck will never be a EDH staple for me, but it is a super fun deck to play when it hits.

Well.. time to dust it off and try, try again. This time with Zinnia, Valley's Voice. She gives me access to White, which gives me a lot more protection like Ghostly Prison and Selfless Squire and a bunch of targeted removal.

This deck is a labor of love, and I never expect it to be a top tier desk.. but my friends and I like building jank every once and a while. Because I have a pretty solid play group, I am not so much worried about winning as I am about having fun. And every time I have built Seven Dwarves in the past it has been super funny when it hits.

In the past it tends to be a live-quick, die fast kinda deck. Hopefully the inclusion of more targeted removal and counter spells, it will last a bit longer.
