Emmara Tandris?!
Deck Help forum
Posted on April 23, 2013, 6:15 p.m. by Wabbbit
So yeah, I was challenged to build an Emmara Tandris deck. I'm usually pretty good at abusing awful cards, but this one is a stumper. Is there any way (no matter how crazy) in STANDARD to abuse this card, or just make a deck around her? Thanks ;).

The best way to do this is, sleeveless shuffle her, drag her across rocks, cut pieces off, then finally light her on fire and let her burn.
reality...graveyard ressurection is probably the best way to get her out before t7. with out having to dork it up to badly.

Hmm...
Elves!
Arbor Elf , Elvish Archdruid , Gyre Sage for mana to power...
Progenitor Mimic and Cackling Counterpart to make token copies of...
Play Emmara Tandris , pretend like she's the actual focus of the deck, and giggle at the ridiculous, over-the-top, way-too-expensive win-more cards on your side of the battlefield. Because preventing all damage done to an 20+ toughness Master Biomancer is totally what Magic: The Gathering is all about!

EDH token deck just not as a general because there is better options at general. otherwise shes basically usless.

Emmara actually has some fun interaction with the assassin tokens made by Vraska the Unseen and the deathtouch wolves made by Garruk, the Veil-Cursed Flip . Getting any of those on the battlefield though... is another matter entirely.

There is absolutely no reason to play Emmara Tandris when Avacyn, Angel of Hope is in any relevant format with her. Even for EDH, there are much better G/W token generals, namely Trostani, Selesnya's Voice and Rhys the Redeemed .

Umm. She's pretty one-dimensional if you ask me. Just build a deck with a lot of tokens, add an Emmara or two, and hope for the best. You could go straight G/W, or splash black for Lingering Souls.
