Tim and his Pingers
Commander (EDH) forum

Always have a soft spot for Pingers so here's my attempt at making a Casual Janky EDH deck, assembling a team of cute Pingers.
Here're some of the common issues of Pingers and how I attempt to play around them in the deck:
1) Pingers have relatively high CMC (often 3+ CMC) - This explains the choice of commander - Animar, Soul of Elements to help make the cost cheaper
2) We've to wait a turn before they can start pinging - Included a "Haste Enabler" package
3) Pingers have weak bodies (usually 0/1 or 1/1) - The deck is still weak in this area so all advices are welcomed
4) 1 damage is negligible in EDH context - Deathtouch, Dismiss into Dream, Sigil of Sleep etc make that 1 damage count
Here's my deck:
King-Ping
Commander / EDH
SCORE: 1 | 89 VIEWS
Looking forward to any suggestions on how the deck can be enhanced. Thanks in advance!

Honestly, I don't think Animar does as much as commadner as something like Maelstrom Wanderer does. Wanderer gives you a global haste source in the command zone and chances are he's going to dump a bunch of dudes onto the battlefield.
I would also say to ditch the colour changing effects, they don't do much and if you drop Animar as commander, the do even less.
