Title: Nephilim
Post by: TheRagingMage on July 01, 2013, 11:20:38 PM
Nephilims are the five creatures that each cost four mana, one for each of four colors.  The mana costs of the Nephilims are: RGUW, RGUB, RUBW, RGBW, and GUBW.  They were only printed in the Ravnica block.

They're pretty good in a Omni color deck. There's one in All mana mastery in DotP 2013.

I remember that one of my friends had a Nephilim deck, but I never really looked at it.  I was too interested at looking at his other Ravnica decks.
The deck was good, I think, but definitely not his best.

I don't think EDH was around back when the original Ravnica came out.

It was, just not a sanctioned format that was recognized by WotC. EDH stands for Elder Dragon Highlander, because the original commanders when the format was first born were the Elder Dragons from way back in Chronicles/Legends;

{Nicol Bolas}
{Chromium}
{Arcades Sabboth}
{Palladia-Mors}
{Vaevictis Asmadi}
