You certainly seem to have a solid start.

I'm not sure how useful the 'gain 5 life and nothing else' cards like {Whitesun's passage} will be you in this deck, since life total isn't a main win condition for you. With Trostani out, any creature with 5 toughness will gain you that 5 life too, plus you get a big fat 5-toughness creature. {Reach of Branches} for example would probably be much more helpful - repeatable castability, makes tokens that you can populate, and can be doubled by parallel lives and doubling season. All of that for just a bit more mana.

I'm a huge fan of {Wurmcalling}, too, if you can find room for it ;) It's nice to have a card in hand that give you protection from mana flooding, and gets out of hand fast if you have parallel lives or doubling season out.

Populating 3/3 deathtouch and 3/3 lifelink Wurmcoil tokens? Yeeeeeah, that'll do. Lol

I need to start looking for those , I didn't realize {Wurmcoil Engine} was down to the $12 range - tha't actually affordable, and such a good card!

Grab them while you can. I need my five play sets, jk. Is the land base ok, I'm not sure what I could add.

I'm only use to standard such a small option of cards

Nicely done for your fist EDH. Also welcome to the wonderful world of multiplayer.

All and all this looks pretty cool, a lot of good etb effects pair with your commander, = ton of fun. Possibly consider  {Conjurer's Closet} for more silliness.

Ok took out some cards put in more. But I feel like the curve is really high. Do I have enough 1 and 2 drops?
Title: Re: First Deck
Post by: Gorzo on June 22, 2013, 02:02:42 AM
The land base looks pretty good to me at a glance. Only playing and draw-test/fishing will be able to confirm that for sure, but if I had to make an educated guess, I'd say your lands are fine.

I wouldn't worry about needing more 1 and 2 drops too much, either. A friend of mine once referred to commander as "The Land of Big." That description really stuck with me. It truly is a slower format full of big, big things and big, big impacts. Most one or two-drop creatures end up being dead draws very quickly in a game of EDH, unless it's a big-effect utility creature like {Mother of Runes}.

You ought to add {seance} for shenanigans, start populating wurmcoils themselves.

I think I just Mario'd gorzo :)

I'm not quite sure what you mean by that :P but I do love the idea of Seance Populating with Trostani. So nutty.

Does {seance} let the tokens from parallel lives and doubling season. Like do the extra stay too or not?  I think they do, right?

It's complicated. If you double a token from Seance with Doubling Season or Parallel Lives, those cards use a replacement effect that add additional tokens from the same source (the Seance). Because the tokens are still created by Seance, they are still bound by Seance's end step removal clause, even the copies. However, populate allows the populated token to stay. This is because the token created by populate was made by the card that had populate, and not made by Seance, so it has no connection to Seance or it's remove at end step clause.

You can only have 100 cards in commander deck, that includes the commander.  You have 101.

Sorry :)

What thought the commander was excluded
Title: Re: First Deck
Post by: Gorzo on June 22, 2013, 03:45:32 PM
Sadly the commander is included. The official method is that you build 100 card deck, then before play you remove 1 legendary creature to use as your commander, leaving you with 99 other cards.
