One too many

[GoJuDragon]

so its 99 in deck plus the commander?

[Guypocolypse]

Nope 100 plus general

[GoJuDragon]

thats what it is, whenever i post a deck for sum reason it adds the sideboard into the total, it does this on standard decks for me too

[Gorzo]

so its 99 in deck plus the commander?

It is 99 + the commander. 100 cards total.

It looks like a fun deck!  I only have a couple quick suggestions to think about.

- You might want to look at replacing {reclaim} with {disentomb} or something like it. Yes, reclaim can grab something other than a creature if you need to, but it goes to your library. That means you don't have it in your hand, you miss your next draw to get it, and if an opponent makes you shuffle, it's lost in the 100-card-void.

-single-target low-damage spells like {pillar of flame} and {lightning bolt} tend to not have a big impact in commander, only killing utility creatures most of the time. I recommend heavy hitters like {fireball} and {red sun's zenith} or board wipes like {blasphemous act} or {black sun's zenith}. even {doom blade} only kills 1 thing. If you can get em, board wipes are good times in commander!

-Kresh gets big when stuff dies - even your own! Take advantage of it! I see you have some undying guys in there which I like (though I'm sure you can find a bigger guy than {sightless ghoul}, maybe {demonlord of ashmouth}?) Persist is another keyword you might want to look at. You will probably also want some way to reliably sacrifice creatures to feed Kresh, stuff like {culling dais} or {Skirsdag cultist} can be useful, especially to use when your creature is about to die anyway.

Hope that helps!  Holy hell that was a long post.

that helps a lot, thanks! ill be editing it later today, and thanks for keeping the cards u mentioned relitively budget cards... if that makes sence

[TBNL]

Also, {Plague Wind} is a definite yes in a Kresh deck

[Spikepit]

Nice first deck ... and what they said 😉

[GoJuDragon]

thx spikepit, that means a lot coming from sum1 as into edh a you

[GoJuDragon]

is there any way to prevent kresh from being saced with hellion eruption?

[TBNL]

is there any way to prevent kresh from being saced with hellion eruption?

None that I know of. Also, drop {Pillar of Flame}, it doesn't kill the creature, it exiles it, so Kresh doesn't get counters

[GoJuDragon]

ah, never noticed that, thanks

[GoJuDragon]

edited, i dont have a lot of those cards mentioned above, not even a disentomb, but i took out the reclaim and pillar of flame for a skirsdag cultist
