So I want to make another EDH deck, slightly bored of the ones I got.I have a Horde of Notions deck that is the first one I made and therefore favorite. Doran deck which is fun I suppose.
Jhoira which is ya, suspend in stuff and cast a Decree of sorts.
Black/White which is entirely life gain cause no one bothers to get rid of my sanguine bond. (No idea why) My playgroup already has an elf deck, uril, lockdown wizards and a grind deck. Any suggestions that isn't dragon heavy? I don't like dragons, well red ones, for some reason. Stupid sneak attack.

My favorite EDH deck is based on Mayael the Anima. Actually my son plays it most of the time, but it really is great if you aren't playing in a cut-throat environment.Since I have it already written, here's a quick overview: There aren't that many subtle themes here as the deck mostly revolved around big creatures. Preacher, Elvish Piper, Kiki-Jiki and Soltari Guerrillas all play great if they stick around, and if not they're drawing out some removal early. Stuffy Doll has always been fabulous, and Tempting Licid can help clear the way for your big guys later, or you can stick him on Stuffy Doll for a good time. Of the large creatures, Vigor is a particular favorite, especially when combined with Thunder Dragon. I've been thinking that it may be good to include some other Earthquake or Pyroclasm type effects to deal with token-based strategies, which can sometimes be difficult if you don't have some good tramplers, and they also works great if you have Vigor out. Mirari's Wake has always been a game winner if it sticks. With access to large amounts of mana this deck runs great without having to worry about how to cheat a single creature into play each turn. Here's my deck list: Mayael the Anima Ancient Ooze
Balefire Liege
Birds of Paradise
Boartusk Liege
Captain Sisay
Elvish Piper
Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker
Knotvine Mystic

Thunder Dragon
Vagrant Plowbeasts
Vigor Ajani Goldmane
Garruk Wildspeaker
Sarkhan Vol Berserk
Mayael's Aria

Sounds like you could use a mono-red deck. That is if you don't hate red?

Like Godo, bandit warlord? Cause I was almost thinking of Dralnu, Lich Lord Edit: Or Memnarch, but i don't know what to do with that to make it awesome other than put in a tolarian academy. We don't play with the wotc commander rules or whatever

Heartless Hidetsugu seems like it would attract a lot of hate. The other one looks pretty neat though

The 2nd EDH that I built was Heartless. This was back before EDH picked-up and my playgroup quickly abused ramp-centric battlecruiser-MTG style decks. I quickly turned to Heartless for his ability to make +2hr long games into >1hr games.

somewhat ironically, as long as its not confusion about the rulings thread, people generally have less of a stick up their nose in this forum than in the GD about such things __________________

People keep talking EDH but lets bring this up.Is the new Angel better then say playing Elspeth with a Doubling Season in play? Not likely. Its a nice EDH card for me to clone  __________________

Considering most of the spot removal I play in EDH exiles if at all possible, I'd take an emblem over the conditional indestructibility.__________________

I think shes pretty good. Its just like most cards in magic, if you have an answer to it then its bad. You have to judge the card on how hard it is to answer and what effects it has if unanswered. Being indestructible does negate wraths, vindicate, putrefy, etc, but the other category such as the general tuck spells, swords, path, etc still work. Since she dodges a good half the removal played in EDH as well as making my other stuff hard to deal with, I think shes very playable. The big question comes if you have room for an 8 drop in your deck. Most of mine are curved out fairly well, so I'm not sure if she'll fit based on that.

Original post was closed  I want to make a themed commander deck. I want it to be old school WWF/E deck. Using Ruhan of the Fomori (Macho Man) as the general. Thinking of keeping it tribal but not sure. Arena= wrestling ring Looking for ideas on old WWF superstars and props. Need something for a title belt, a ring bell, garbage can, cookie sheet, tables etc. Looking for more ideas- Elizabeth, Ted Dibiase, Andre, Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, Road Warriors, Stone Cold, The Rock etc. Shoot me ideas PLEASE.

You also get Barbarian Ring (another wrestling ring. Ninja's would make good for Lucha Libras. Are you going for card art or what the card does to match the theme? __________________

For those that have multiple EDH decks, do you generally try to run different cards in your decks, or do you end up running a lot of the same cards in a given color in each deck?I'm considering rebuilding my EDH decks where I'm not allowed any repeat cards (other than basics) across all of my decks. It seems like this would really give each deck a very different feel to it, even when the colors overlap. I'm not 100% sure that it's worth stripping out all of the extra duals and fetches, however.

I kind of handle it this way...I have no more than a playset of virtually every card I own. When building decks I'll use whatever I can find. If a particular card would work in multiple decks, I have to choose where it is best put to use. I have 15 decks currently built and it forces me to think about card quality, deck theme, and overall strategy much more than I might otherwise. In addtion, it forces me to use cards I might not otherwise - lots of fun to try out different stuff Hope this helps. Take it easy,
Jared

Because most of my decks are themed, the cards usually don't run across themes. For example, I don't run Maelstrom Pulse and Pernicious deed in EVERY B/G. The only cards that I find myself using across multiple decks is: Cultivate/Kodama's Reach/Skyshroud Claim/Primeval Titan
Command Tower/Reliquary Tower/Mystifying Maze/Tectonic Edge/Temple of the False God
Enlightened Tutor/Mystical Tutor/Worldly Tutor
Sol Ring
Mirror Entity/Mother of Runes
Fact of Fiction The rest is usually one ofs (in my EDH decks, every color is represented twice. Just worked out that way)
For example, in one Black deck I use some tutors. In the other, I use the Transmute cards.
I LOVE variety. I like every game being different. That's the point of different decks.

Griselbrand....Another awesome legendary creature with easy combo potential in back to back sets. I guess Mikaeus, the Unhallowed can take it easy for a bit. There's so much low-hanging fruit, comboing with those guys is so obvious. I wonder what will happen to Kokusho now? Griselbrand is such a cool card. Combo or not...it'd be pretty devastating to me if they banned cards like these (eg T&N, Time Stretch, Iona) because where else can you really enjoy them?

I don't expect Griselbrand to stay legal in the format for very long. If Bargain is banned, I expect him to be banned as well.

That's why I posted this about Griselbrand, and not Iona/Mikaeus/etc. Griselbrand's pay 7: draw 7 is just too similar to Bargain for them not to ban him.
