The colors I need is red/black/white and artifact. In those colors, you have Elixir of Immortality, Feldon's Cane, and Thran Foundry (all artifacts). Depending on what you need, Ulamog/Kozilek might work too, depends on whether you need to shuffle it in on command or as a defense to milling or something similar. There are more options in blue and green, but for the other colors, the artifacts are about all I'm seeing.

The colors I need is red/black/white and artifact. paly an eldrazi. Its boring, every deck can do it, but its really good. I'm playing Intet and I've decked myself twice so I wanted to include a shuffle mechanism. I've tried to avoid eldrazi because I don't want to cast them and use them as a win condition. I added time twister to try it out and it did okay.... once. When I needed it later my graveyard had been RFG'd. I could add yet another card that helps shuffle... or just take the easy way out and throw down a kozilek. I'm pretty sure thats the option because it preserves the most deck space for allowing my deck to do what it wants to do.
Skwirlnutz Member	posted January 21, 2012 11:23 AM Thanks guys, I may add an eldrazi. I got a few cards that put my stud back at the bottom of my deck so I can reuse my sunforger tools. Also added Elixir.

WeedIan Member	posted January 22, 2012 11:02 AM I just use Wolf Run so i don't have to waste cards giving him trample. I built the deck around sac outlets, I have a nice little Goblin package in my deck. Goblin Marshal Goblin Matron Goblin Recruiter Goblin Ringleader Gobln Gardener Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker Siege-Gang Commander Squee, Goblin Nabob I need a Goblin Bombardment for the deck sadly. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AlHIOoL0opWbdGJHSno3QnhaMUJ6UVdHSExOeENtNEE __________________ Member Since 03/28/2001 11000+ posts 1st in posts in Ontario 13th in posts on MOTL Top 5 in Refs in Ontario (by people who location posted)
rockondon Member	posted January 22, 2012 01:32 PM I meant the berserk to be used on another player's creature when it attacks one of your opponents. One opponent gets hit twice as hard, the other opponent loses his creature, and it feeds Kresh a bunch of counters. All for one green mana. __________________ \|My Angels~My P9 l""\|"\__, \|~~My #1 Angel~~l'_\|'_\|_\|) \|(@)(@)""*\|(@)(@)\|(@)

I was playing Enchantress deck on the Magic 2012 game on Steam and i really am thinking I might make a 6th EDH deck. Enchantress, but checking online for Generals there really isnt' one that fits the theme how i would like. __________________ Member Since 03/28/2001 11000+ posts 1st in posts in Ontario 13th in posts on MOTL Top 5 in Refs in Ontario (by people who location posted)
stab107 Member	posted January 22, 2012 03:38 PM Love Don's use for Berserk. I've done that to people a few times and some even argue that it has to be your creature just because of how it has been played for so long. After reading that I just might build a Kresh deck to take advantage! Plus I really want a deck that can roll out a Lavalanche. quote: Originally posted by WeedIan: Ahh! Sweet idea Don!

Sure, I don't mind passing Karona around but that big bad ass isn't coming at me! Not sure if that fits your theme but was thinking about it.

I've been wanting to do saproling Karona so I can use all the mutations from apoc as well as other cards however I think I'm going to build Ghave to abuse the undying mechanic. Seems very straight forward and I'll likely lean heavily on saprolings to keep it interesting.
rockondon Member	posted January 22, 2012 06:26 PM quote: Originally posted by WeedIan: Ahh! Sweet idea Don! When urza's saga came out I had a red/green sneak attack deck that was insanely fun to play. Hitting someone with nicol bolas on turn 2 was not uncommon. Multiplayer games would often involve me sneaking out a 9/9 trampler, casting berserk on it, casting another berserk or regrowth to recast the first one, then attacking someone for 36 trample. Then I'd cast fling to kill the next person, and fork to copy the fling (or to counter their counterspell if they counter the fling) to kill a third person. That kind of scenario actually occurred fairly often. Just remembering that deck makes me want to make a Kresh deck with sneak attack, fling, fork, berserk, a bunch of fat creatures. Hatred is another old school card that might be interesting in a Kresh deck too. __________________ \|My Angels~My P9 l""\|"\__, \|~~My #1 Angel~~l'_\|'_\|_\|) \|(@)(@)""*\|(@)(@)\|(@) [Edited 1 times, lastly by rockondon on January 22, 2012]
WeedIan Member	posted January 26, 2012 12:34 PM I can't decide on Enchantress or a Copy Spells deck Both seem fun

caquaa Member	posted January 26, 2012 01:21 PM quote: Originally posted by WeedIan: I can't decide on Enchantress or a Copy Spells deck Both seem fun sure, just use generals besides Uril or Riku. Those are fairly boring, make something interesting.

I don't have Uril anymore but ya Riku just makes you a targer. I'd probably go with Green/Blue/White Enchantress with Hippo or Greater Hippo. quote: Originally posted by choco man: Just please, don't make a zombie deck. Too late, i already had a zombie deck created when Innistrad came out. Rooftop storm is awesome I will have to make some changes to get Mikeaus in the deck. __________________ Member Since 03/28/2001 11000+ posts 1st in posts in Ontario 13th in posts on MOTL Top 5 in Refs in Ontario (by people who location posted)
choco man Member	posted January 26, 2012 01:51 PM How about making a life-gain deck? AND use Heroes Remembered!

mattw Member	posted January 27, 2012 07:08 AM I have a black white life gain deck and for some reason people let sanguine bond stay around for too long. White beacon and one guy is dead. necropotence to get it back and kill again. Or Exsanguinate for all kinds of hurt

FleeceItOut Member	posted January 27, 2012 04:26 PM looking to get into commander, i want to start with a 1v1 deck, would animar be a "fair" choice for a general?

Just curious, why would you want to start learning what is generally considered a multiplayer format by building for 1v1?
