Title: Commanders
Post by: Rasser on July 10, 2012, 08:04:30 PM
Thinking of making a couple of commander decks to play for fun. Here is a list of commanders I'm thinking of.
{momir vig, simic visionary}
{doran, the siege tower}
{rafiq of the many}
{ertai, the corrupted}
{scion of the ur-dragon}
Never played before any thoughts would be appreciated. Also does edh work better as a duel or multi-player game?

Edh was designed as multiplayer.

Doran does look like he would be really fun to use as a general.

Doran looks the best to me. Fill your deck with trees and stuff. Include {Tree of Redemption}. Doran also makes a joke out of opponents' creatures that have like, 5 power but 1 toughness.

The truely awesome thing about doran is that it does not change actual power or toughness; it just changes how much damage things do. So a 1,000/1 would pretty much be a 1/1 lol

Honestly all 5 of those would make for very fun decks.  I've seen Rafiq, and that gets nasty, especially with {sovereigns of alara} fetching {eldrazi conscription} onto Rafiq when he attacks exalted. Suddenly 16 double strike trample! Whee!

I've always wanted to build a {Doran the Seige Tower} deck myself with a ton of walls.

{Geist of St Traft}
{Glissa, the Traitor}

Can't beat hexproof General with 4/4 Angela in tow
And first strike+death touch... Just sick
