Karona Visits Theros

Commander / EDH

Creature (33)

Land (40)


Theros! Beautiful plane, full of wondrous mysteries. Where else would Karona take a vacation? The gods are totally open to having a newcomer join their ranks; after all, they just killed off the previous newest god, they've surely got a spot open! /s

Anyway, yeah. Over the past year or so, I've been gathering a collection of all of the Theros-block gods, and ended up thinking to myself: "Well, they look pretty, but what am I ever going to use them for?" The answer came in the form of EDH. For a while, I toyed with the idea of making an EDH deck with all of my gods, plus a bunch of other Theros stuff. Then I discovered that Karona exists, and said "sure why not".

Anyway... uh... this is still very much in the prototype phase. Got any suggestions? I tend towards a control-ish deck archetype, with some minor thievery/stealy and combo themes, but I'd like to have some decent pillowforting. I like EDH games, and I like long EDH games. Maybe Karona isn't the best idea for this sort of deck, but I'm just gonna go with it - worst comes to worst, I'll never cast her (or only as a finisher).

UPDATE: I've decided to use Karona as commander for "fun" games, but get my hands on a Child of Alara and some sac-outlets for the more competitive stuff.

Updates Add

Played this deck a little; didn't work particularly well. Kinda slow, and I didn't have enough creatures. I've added a little since then...


+1 Signal the Clans

+1 Disciple of Deceit

+1 Detention Sphere

+1 Banishing Light

+1 Isperia, Supreme Judge

+1 Ajani's Chosen


-1 Doomwake Giant

-1 Dictate of Heliod

-1 Dictate of Kruphix

-1 Dictate of Erebos

-1 Dictate of the Twin Gods

-1 Dictate of Karametra


If it's not clear by now, I think I'm aiming for "control" - draw cards (off Eidolon of Blossoms, etc.), boardwipe every now and then, and keep it going until I've got enough gods that either they provide each other with plenty of devotion, or Karona can fill in the gaps. Then boardwipe (with, say, Bearer of the Heavens to destroy lands, too), and then play Karona and kill someone Gods-Tribal-style. (Yes I know it doesn't actually qualify as "tribal".)

Oh, and the dictates were mostly useless. Mostly. I might put them back in someday...
