Welcome to my Oversized Tribal EDH deck!

You know all those useless oversized cards that come with commander products? The ones that people like to cut up and turn into proxies? Well, I decided I was going to be an absolute mad-man, and build my own deck using as many cards as possible. With the release of the Ur-Dragon I finally had the rainbow commander I needed to make the deck real.

To understand this build, you need to understand the restrictions I gave myself:

  • I will not proxy creatures, I must use only the EDH legal oversized legendary creatures Wizards has printed. I want to maximize the number of "real" cards, so it is a creature heavy deck.

  • I will proxy the manabase and supporting cards using blanked out Oversized duplicates. (Yes, I have physically built this deck using hilariously large cards and an inkjet proxy process. It took a lot of time to finish, but it's been totally worth it.)

  • I'm a fairly non-competitive person, so I refuse to proxy anything I find too powerful or expensive. This is jank deck built for the novelty of slapping the deck down on the table to see people's faces. However, that does not mean the deck is bad. I've won games with this deck, turns out legendary creatures are pretty good in general.

=======================================

Notes:

  • Some of the cuts were easy to make (Like Riku of Two Reflections and Arahbo, Roar of the World), but a case could be made to keep others like Rubinia Soulsinger or Yidris, Maelstrom Wielder. I'm open to changing the creatures around. Since the proxies take time to make, I'm less interested in hearing suggestions for those.

  • I started this deck before Dominaria came out, that's why the signets were once a part of it. The deck desperately needed a board wipe like Urza's Ruinous Blast, but that would wipe out all the rocks too. So I replaced them with Panoramas for more fixing. Plus the art looks cool.

  • Helm of Hosts is an exclusion because I have it in other decks, I don't think the deck is that much weaker without it.

(Sorry, hyperlinking doesn't seem to work for me. I guess I need to as yeaGO for permission?)
