Well, for starters, who's your commander?

Post by: Karrthus on November 06, 2011, 11:48:59 PM
Oros

So, your most consistent creature is not a samurai, and if his ability goes off, it'll take out most of your own dudes?

Well for the most part I don't use him. There's only 3 legends that W/B/R. Oros was the best option, the other 2 are from the Angels, Demons, Dragons Commander deck. One specifically only deals with the decks name^^

Get tariel!

I'd agree!  Get a copy of {Tariel, Reckoner of Souls}.  Unless you want to remove a color.  If so, you could go W/R and use {Agrus Kos, Wojek Veteran}, {Brion Stoutarm}, {Razia, Boros Archangel}, or better yet the other Angel from the Commander series {Basandra, Battle Seraph}.  I think she'd go well in a Samurai deck.

I really wanted a W/B/R Samurai deck. My intesions were to build an EDH that wasn't so dependent on it's General like most EDH's. I've been tweaking it for a while to make it self-sufficient, with an added bonus of a commander.î"

I think that's going against the whole philosophy OF edh. I mean, the commander is the one card in the deck you can reliable cast. And if it is going to kill all of your dudes, well.

I get that you want a Tri-color samurai deck, which is cool, I think your only real solid option, and a good option at that is the aforementioned angel. That is, if you want to increase your odds of winning.
