Damia is "better" in the sense that she can very easily help you win games by refilling your hand each turn. However, she gets expensive very fast because players will tend to auto-target her.

Vorosh is less threatening because he doesn't really do anything until you start swinging with him. He's a little more under the radar.

can Evil Twin copy a creature that does not have the same colour identity as your commander?

My current generals are:
Kaalia of the Vast
Uril the Miststalker
Lin-Sivvi, Defiant Hero
Ezuri, Renegade Leader

Our group has really been getting into it lately. Very fun games too!

Bringing Commander into the equation has rejuvenated my group. We are getting together tomorrow with copies of the new decks to battle! I think it is awesome how much effort has gone into the 2013 edition and tomorrow should be quite fun!

I am currently running a few decks:
Yeva, Nature's Herald
Braids, Conjurer Adept
Selenia, Dark Angel (Extort Theme)
Varolz, the Scar-Striped (Using Corpse Connoisseur to get a Death's Shadow in the 'yard to scavenge is my jam)
Marton Stromgald (This deck is somewhat fragile but it can punch people pretty hard the turn Marton comes down)
Child of Alara (This is actually a Maze's End deck)
Sharuum, the Hegemon (Artifact value engine)

Braids is currently the deck that has been together the longest. I like it as it takes the game in a different direction than most decks do. Currently though my favorite alternates between Varolz and Marton. The Marton deck is very explosive and most players do not expect the alpha strike. Fun!

I have a similar type of deck and it is fun. I really just wanted to make a 5-color lands.dec similar to legacy. When they printed Maze's End, just made it even more fun.

My only decks at the moment right now are Child of Alara (lands.dec) and my Edric deck that I put together when the last Commander decks got released.

Braids is banned as a General isn't she?

Uril did good as well. Only played Lin-Sivvi once and it was in a 2v2 game. It was good early, but when my opponents realized that Lin would be trouble, she never stayed on the board again.

All and all though, was a fun night. Our play group as well has been revitalized a bit with this.

I'm trying to play some slow combo deck that can beat the table, but since my friends don't have nearly the collection I do I basically capped myself on a dollar limit for the deck. I'm trying to 5 color maze's end. What happens when I play 9 gates and something like thespians stage copying a gate? Does it maintain that name (or lose it)? Also what are ways I can essentially "create" more gates than the standard 10?

I have a Maze's End EDH deck and it is a ton of fun . If you copy a gate on the field it doesn't help you hit ten gates with different names. Really Thespian's stage is only helpful as a second copy of Maze's End to accelerate the race to 10 different gates.

I run Scapeshift, Knight of the Reliquary, Weathered Wayfarer, Crop Rotation, Walking Atlas, Gatecreeper Vine, Reap and Sow, Sylvan Scrying, Clear the Land, Urban Evolution, Oracle of Mul Daya and Expedition Map to help get me there. Crucible of Worlds helps recur fetch lands and get gates back if someone has blown them up. Riftsweeper is back up for an exiled land. Favorite card in the deck? Selective Memory .

Is there any place i can read up on that specific deck strategy? I kinda get whats its trying to do, but i always seem to be laking in the creature department and lose pretty fast.

Also, stuff like No Mercy tends to be persuasive in EDH especially since you can absorb more damage before dying.
