So I'm thinking if people can come up with an EDH deck where everything in the deck has a CMC of 1 you can use any general which is the only card that can have a higher casting cost. Everything must be 1. nothing can cost 0.

Can the cards cost less than 1?

I'm assuming lands are the exception to this rule.

I don't know if there are enough 1-drops to make a functional deck.

Well, unless you can find some negative costing cards, then no, it says 1 and nothing can be zero.

metalmagic: They must cost one. keep in mind that spekks that cost X and one color such as XG have a cmc of one.

Epochalyptik: Yes lands are the exception. And looking around on gatherer there are actually a ton of 1 drops. as for as a functional deck. I think it's in the realm of possibility. I could be wrong.

BTW, if you can find some negative casting cards, (preferably that give you mana for playing them) I would love to get my hands on some.

The only way you could really do that is a Mikaeus, the Lunarch EDH deck.

It'd be mono-white, and probably really weird.

Alright, mine is done. It would have been done roughly an hour ago, but I had to take a break to watch Dexter. Singularity

After looking at your deck, it's kind of funny how similar our two decks are, even though mine is mono-green and yours is mono-black.

metalmagic you need to relink your deck with the correct link. The current one goes to a mono blue 60 card deck.

metalmagic says... #18

Good catch, Arachnarchist. I didn't even realize there were other decks with the name. Singularity

Problem solved.

@Wsebaste I know about Lotus Petal , and all of Black Lotus 's descendants. I meant cards that cost less then 0.
