WIP, as I was able to pull Volo, Guide to Monsters from a booster pack recently. IMHO a more than interesting new Simic commander.

My noble target: "Build a new EDH deck around Volo with creatures from your archive up until max. 8th/9th edition (2005, only exception are multicoloured) to celebrate the good old MTG days!"

22.04.22

Deck building details:
50 mana: 36 mana, plus: Terrarion (+2), Heraldic Banner, Caged Sun, Birds of Paradise, Vine Trellis, Fertile Ground, Overgrowth (+2) - (45...)
10 card draw: Terrarion, Surveilling Sprite, Kavu Climber, Verduran Enchantress, Treasure Trove, Fecundity, Coastal Piracy, Infuse, Brainstorm, Dormant Sliver (OK!)
8 targeted removal: Spiketail Hatchling, Remove Soul, Mana Leak, You Come to a River, Naturalize, Caustic Wasps, Crooked Scales, Wear Away, Tranquility (9, OK!)
3 board wipes: Hurricane (1...)
2 graveyard recursion: Terrarion, Recall (OK!)
2 flexible tutors: Rampant Growth, Soothsaying (OK!)
1 graveyard hate: (0...)
1 finisher: (0...)
