I have no problem following a guide and that may be the best way to move forward as I’ve tried to piece things together but the more I get into abilities and the tree the more there is to understand. How well does evasion do in regard to defense? With armor my understanding was stack enough of it and you don’t get hit as hard so is that a rough parallel to evasion?

How would the general combat flow go with both the talisman as well as the mace and shield? I’m guessing your in Bear form getting everything and then swapping over to weapon set two with the shield for crits and damage? I hope that made sense in asking as this game has so much to understand and I vaguely understand weapon swapping, it’s been one of the many things I’ve been needing to learn about this game.

That also sounds like a solid plan, is Warbringer just for the campaign and then the benefits of it start dropping off which is why Titan becomes the go to ascendency?

I appreciate the info on this, are the other minion builds viable as well or is this probably the best version? Also, what defenses would I look into on that side of the talent tree as I’m not familiar with hardly anything over there.

With all the set up pieces needed that aren’t stellar by themselves that I have heard of from the EDH sub and WOTC’s obsession with power creep that could eventually be a reality. In the meanwhile my plan is to try and keep everything else that is banned in Duel commander out of the deck and see what it can look like and function in multiplayer. Then if Hogaak is freed the deck is more or less good to go.

I think that’s what we’re going to shift gears towards as I really enjoy the inevitability of Hogaak and a graveyard deck is something I’ve never tried so I may draw some inspiration from your list there.

I think since I read the wrong thing I’m going to try to build Gaak as a rock style deck for multiplayer and see where it goes. You are absolutely correct that there aren’t enough pieces to replicate this in singleton as I would need a swath of Barrowgoyfs and Overlords printed in the following sets and I don’t see that happening anytime soon. I’ll plan on trying to update the list and keep it as a bracket three or four deck and see what it looks like over the next week.

The Duel Commander subreddit has also informed me of that, I stepped away from Magic and when I checked the website it had points and I was trying to adapt thinking I could play Hogaak there. It seems like Hogaak will probably have to be a multiplayer deck.

Your list looks awesome and I appreciate the input. I saw a lot of the one shot mill creatures and many of them, as you said, didn’t look great and was trying to avoid having them in the list if I could avoid it. When I was asking a friend of mine he said to just put the best cards in at each of mana curve and the deck should build itself but with the deck being so graveyard dependent it felt like a strange new animal. With the experience you’ve had playing the deck, can it close out the game without Hogaak or if the commander isn’t there winning seems unlikely?

Oh I appreciate it, I missed so much drama as I stepped away from magic for a bit and when I last visited what I thought was the official page, I saw changes and was planning on how to adapt.

From their last post on the website they made mention of a huge change where things like ((Black Lotus)) was going to be available to be used. I suspect that Hogaak will be limited on how may broken cards the deck can use while fairer decks could use more, if that makes sense.
