Unexperienced EDH Player Need Help

Deck Help forum

Sorry, I don't usually make these post because I find them annoying but I'm trying to delve into EDH and have been building a deck. I'm not sure if this deck is fine the way it is or if it will be too oppressive for an EDH game which I know is supposed to be casual and fun for all parties.

Isperia, Bird Mang

Wait, EDH is supposed to be casual? And FUN??

So the biggest thing to think about when building a deck is "who am I going to play with?" since this will dictate how the deck will end up being built. If you're playing with friends around the kitchen table and want to have lots of fun, then don't load up on counterspells and cards like that.

If you are playing with a group that is into higher powered decks and people like to have fun by using a powerful deck, then a lot of boardwipes and counterspells are something to have as well as ways to accelerate your mana to get to Isperia quicker.

If you are gearing towards a competitive deck, then you would want to consider adding green into the color mix and using Jenara, Asura of War instead.

As it's just been said, most important thing is to know your meta. Will the deck be played in a LGS? In a competitive playgroup? In a side event of a major tournament? Once you know that, make sure you know if there is any houserules or house ban.
