Fix this Deck! Please!!!

Hello Everyone,

First of all if you are reading this I want to say thank you for visiting and I appreciate the support. This is a "we" thing and I am constantly trying to get as many people as possible involved. We have had over 1200 hits on the blog so far yet only a handfull of comments, so I thought that this type of article would create some discussion and get more people involved. And also maybe it would be a tool for others to get some help and insight on decks they want to tweek as well.

The article, as you see is called "Fix this Deck!" and I wanted to write this one because I was looking in my truck and saw an EDH/Commander deck that I literally have not played more than once or twice. I hate to say it but its because I'm embarrassed at the lackluster effort I put into building it. It was a precon G/U/B mill/graveyard strategy "Devour for Power". The problem is, after I bought it I figured out I didn't like the "mill" portion of the strategy and wanted to just focus on the graveyard. So I'm kinda stuck in the middle.

So here, I will post the decklist and see if I can get you guys to help me make some changes. I really am a big fan of synergy and power level. But I prefer synergy and a nice gameplan over sheer power. So guys please help me FIX THIS DECK!

P.S I sorted everything in order of casting cost(low -> High), to make it easier.

Saint81 said...

yea, duhhh. I also really want a Genesis in there, just dont own any.

It all depends on the direction you want to go with it. Do you want it to be a fun, synergistic deck built around the graveyard, do you want it to be a rock deck built around good cards and card advantage, or do you want to be Joe Saia and kill everyone on turn 3?

Saint81 said...

LOL, Combination of one and two but leaning more two the first one.

I don't know much about Commander but I'm positive this deck is missing these 4 cards: Victimize, Snapcaster Mage, Moldervine Cloak, and Sheoldred, the Whispering Sweet Nothings. LOL

scott miller said...

first of all you're missing a lot of
the staples of the format such as
sensei's top. duplicate. reliquary tower mimic vat. i also notice your not
running any clone effects these are very strong and flexible in edh and you are in the colors that have the best ones stuff like phyrexian metamorph dimir doppelganger and
evil twins are worth in gold
the thing about commander is that it has such a large card pool
that you will always be finding new
additons to your deck these are just a few

Saint81 said...

Yea, the clones are a huge add i need to make. I'm not much of a mimic vat fan, I know its awesome but I hate playing against it so much that I don't want to play with it. Oh and Kyp, you never finished....

Kypsta said...

For graveyard strategies, Entomb is essential, and is actually not terrible even in non-graveyard strategies, especially with Life from the Loam. Which should also probably be included, as it fills the yard and allows you to lock people out with Strip Mine and Wasteland. If you do add those, I'd definitely add Crucible as well. Not the nicest way to win games, but hey, sometimes you play against Joe Saia.
