Best way to utilize Doran EDH

[Arbitratur]

{Trestle Troll} son.

I do actually have him in there!

[Gorzo]

{Tree of Redemption}?

Too bad it has defender (

{Warmonger's Chariot}
{Animate Wall}
{Rolling Stones}

I love attacking with defenders.

I would assume  {Rolling Stones} works the same as  {Animate Wall} that it only affects walls and not just a defender of a different type?

Correct. Rolling Stones is simply the global version of the animate wall aura

[Monrodesign]

 {Guardians of Akrasa}  {Pontiff of Blight}  {Palisade Giant} k, think I'm done....



For now!

[Rasser]

 {Cemetery Gate}
{Wall of Bone}
{Wall of Mulch}

[Mutexes]

{Blightwidow}, {Tangle angler}, and {reaper of sheoldred} can end games quickly

You need to ask yourself, how you hope/want to win. Once you can answer that question you can really start to focus on the cards you need to add.

To be truly competitive, the best way to think about Doran is to think of him as a 5/5 for 3, not his other ability.  You want to get him out turn 3 and immediately be putting enchantments and equipment on him such as {Sword of Light and Shadow}, {Sword of Feast and Famine}, etc. to make him big enough to kill on turn 5 or 6.  Then run lots of black kill spells, white exiles, {Stoneforge Mystic}, tutors like {Demonic Tutor}, etc to get ur equipment and deal with blockers.

This is the problem that is making edh less funny in my metagame...
Its all about who drops a sword faster and gg .-.
This ain no f. edh!
Thats why i like BIG TABLE edh more than duel... The one who drops a sword faster is the one with a red dot in his head!

I do agree here, I run Mono Blue {Lorthos, the Tidemaker} and Mono Red {Norin, the Wary}, both are a blast to play and aren't so Spike.  It just depends on what the deck maker is looking for.

[Stoneco1d869]

Swords are great but not game Enders, at least in my exp. I think he was just suggesting a build type, ie equipment deck to swing big and protect your commander.

Haha..I guess, but it is what I ask myself as I build my decks. In my experience it greatly helps to guide during the process and to keep it how you intended the deck to be.
