It's time for me to move on to a new format I think.
This, tournoments ruined EDH for me as well, I only play with my friends now; since they are mature enough to not try to win on turn 2 (or less,) and are more intrested in playing a game then winning it. [/QUOTE]
Yeah, it sucks not being able to play low-power decks and have much of a hope when its all combo or "NONONONONONO-style control".

Sweet, lots of good ones I forgot about. This actually sounds like it could be a fun deck. Anyone know any other cards that turn walls into attackers (or I guess these days, removes "Defender" from a creature).

Last night 4 player free for all: Jenura player had 10+ creatures and a recurring Karmic Guide, Asuza player had Avenger with 16 plant tokens, Thrun player had Thrun with Conscription with each player @ 8+ general damage, I played Rhys, the Redeemed.I had Rhys, the Redeemed in play with 1 Eldrazi spawn token and nothing else on board and no cards in hand. Pretty much had to sit back while everyone battled it out. Eventually built up 30 spawns and topdecked Genesis Wave

I love this format. Played a 3-way FFA 2-headed giant last night with six decks that are all about on par with each other. Three hour game, and more fun than I've had at any tournament for a long time.

we tend to limit ourselves to 4 players. At 3 players it feels like a 2v1 and at 5 players it just starts to take too long between your turns and people get bored.edi: My Warp world deck has undergone some significant changes. Check out the updated list: http://mtgcommander.net/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=6582&p=78510

Plainswalkers are not commanders only legandary creatures. Also most Mono Colored Legends are not good as they limit you to playing non-basics that don't produce anything but no color. __________________ Member Since 03/28/2001 10000+ posts 3rd in posts in Ontario 15th in posts on MOTL Top 5 in Refs in Ontario (by people who location posted)

Wall of Mulch if nobody has mentioned it. Combo that with Shirei. Also, Castle doesn't seem too bad. As well as Slagwurm Armor.

You guys misread me, Karn is a planewalker so he can't be a general you're correct lol. He is also not too powerful, you're correct there, very good lol. He should be banned because his third ability requires everyone to gather their cards and restart the game again - very tedious in Commander. (see: Shahrazad). Although I guess someone willing to use the third ability would be shunned by the other players anyway, kind of like an unofficial banning.

Shahrazad isn't banned so he won't be. __________________ Member Since 03/28/2001 10000+ posts 3rd in posts in Ontario 15th in posts on MOTL Top 5 in Refs in Ontario (by people who location posted)

Still scrounging around for random cards to attempt to make my vamps/Zombies deck. Realized i don't actually have a large selection of zombies to choose from. I think i almost certainly will be trying to mess around with sac outlets and their effects, as well as fitting in some unearther creatures/other graveyard recursion.Does anyone have any random zombie suggestions? I'm gonna peel through a list of zombie cards myself but any guidance would be great. __________________ If you can make/print proxies, i will trade for them. Also looking for Microprose MTG computer game. Will trade for that or consider buying for cheap. Please pm

Gravedigger fits the theme even if he's not a zombie (digging up the zombies) and the Madness one exist too __________________ Member Since 03/28/2001 10000+ posts 3rd in posts in Ontario 15th in posts on MOTL Top 5 in Refs in Ontario (by people who location posted)
