So I have been trying to make a mono white edh deck and I can't decide between {sensei golden-tail} or {rune-tail kitsune ascendent} I like them both and golden tail is probably my front runner because f flavor but I just don't know how I would break him. I want Otto be thematic but I also want it to be good. What do you guys think? Run tail would be a good turbo fog and pillow fort deck with guys who can block any number of guys. What is everyone's thoughts?
{kjeldoran royal guard}
{palisade giant}
{Isamaru, Hound of Konda}
{Konda, Lord of Eiganjo} used to be my mono-W general for a voltron style deck. He worked very well with things like {Nemesis Mask} and {Pariah's Shield}. Plenty of flavorful cards that go with him from Kamegawa including the two you have an eye on. If you decide to go with the samurai theme I think this would be cool {Konda's Banner} regardless of your general but it'd be a better fit for sensei golden-tail or konda IMHO. Could always do {Kemba, Kha Regent} if samurai theme isn't a priority.
Cheers
Swords of plowshare, path to exile and eight and a half tails
But what, other than basic samurai, would golden tail be good with?
If golden tail is your general you can turn any if your creatures into a samurai so you don't necessarily need all samurai creatures and could have other strategies in play for the deck. Oh and remember each counter granting bushido 1 is stackable with other instances of bushido. So if it has two counters from golden tail I believe it would basically have bushido 2 since each instance of bushido triggers separately per the rules.
I did a quick search and here are a few samurai suggestions:
{Takeno, Samurai General} {Nagao, Bound by Honor} {Konda, Lord of Eiganjo} {Indebted Samurai}
Other suggestions:
{Mirror Entity} {Adaptive Automaton}
For bushido: {Nemesis Mask} {Grappling Hook} {Stuffy Doll} {Stonehewer Giant} {Loxodon Warhammer}
Forgot this one too for your general :-)
{Thousand-Year Elixir}
Um how about {Heliod}, what better commander than a God?
