This deck is actually pretty fun. Since its a defender deck, in a multiplayer game most people don't view you as a threat. I've won many multiplayer games with this for that reason.😂😂😂.......but 1 v 1 it doesn't do so hot lol 😰

I am kind of new to edh, but what's your win strategy?

This does look like a lot of fun and a lot of laughs, which is the entire point in commander, so I would love to see this deck in action.

I agree with kuberr though, what's your win condition? Is your land-hating meanieface dragon your only source of reliable attack/damage against an opponent? Or are you hedging it all on that {warmonger's chariot}? Lol

{ludevic's abomination} need 4 hits to kill in EDH, players have 40 health. Even if unblocked, 3 hits leaves em with 1 life to go.

So what happens when the board gets wiped?

There are some offensive choices with defenders. I've still got to figure out what I should remove for {Manor Gargoyle}. However this is a late game deck. So multiplayer EDH is its best bet for winning. Aside from only attacking every once in a while it's a very fun deck. And it's one my friends enjoying playing against for laughs to lol.

The same as with any other deck. You rebuild.

I originally built this deck to be smart a**. I told a friend that I could win with any type deck. He threw a {Perimeter Captain} on the table, so I built this to play with when we all got together. I kept it together because of how much fun it was.

Well as long as you're having fun!!!! That's what matters. :)

I like this strat in multiplayer. It's "lame duck" or rabbit. You build defenses, but don't play anything threatening so that other players ignore you and attack each other. Then, late game you slap down your Commander or gargoyles and go after the remaining players.
I think once people see this deck coming they might not leave you alone though. 😏

If you're getting lots of life, maybe a good finisher like {Storm Herd} or {Serra Avatar} would be in order. Maybe even {Entreat the Angels}.

Those are very sound suggestions. I'll have to add them to the deck list.

Why not try to run a  {Faith's Reward} to try and protect against board wipes and  {Doorkeeper} to hit them for some heavy mill as another wincon

Not sure if someone said this already but you have 101 cards not 100 since you exile numot to the command zone at the begging of the game and commander is 100 including the commander/general

Even a  {Luminarch Ascension} would be a great finale late game just vomiting out angels, maybe with a  {Akroma's Memorial}.

The perfect colors for this deck would be RUG, you would have a nice combo with {Axebane Guardian}/ {Overgrown Battlement}+ {Freed from the Real}/ {Galvanic Alchemist}. And just have a whole bunch of other ramp into  {Fireball} effects. But I do totally understand the accepting a friends challenge and making a deck around a "bad card", and I don't know who you would want to use as a RUG commander, but if you have a whole boat load of spare manna, {Riku of Two Reflections} would not be a terrible choice.

Bump DC

No  {Fog Bank}?
{Reverse Damage} might help too.
