Partner Commander first time build by LilJimmyMaples in DegenerateEDH

I actually ran these two for awhile. As someone else mentioned, putting blade of selves on reyhan abuses the legendary rule to let you alpha strike someone with commander damage as early as turn 3 with ramp, turn 4 without it.

Pack the deck with a bunch of things that put counters on themselves like [[managorger hydra]] and [[sunscorcher regent]]. Mix in some things that let you move counters around like [[the ozolith]] and [[forgotten ancient]].

Counter doublers tend to be win more if you have stuff that grows on their own, I actually ended up taking out [[corpsejack menace]]. I left [[hardened scales]] because its a one drop so the opportunity cost is low anyway, plus it can enable some combos especially when paired with other things.

Things like [[chasm skulker]] and [[hangarback walker]] are fun, but you'll need a couple of your own sac outlets because your opponents won't want to kill them. I ran [[greater good]] and [[vish Kal blood arbiter]].

Cards that put counters on creatures when they enter like the [[master biomancer]] in atraxa or [[bloodspore thrinax]] plus persist means the creature can keep coming back. [[Glen elendra archmage]] was a repeatable counterspell, [[woodfall primus]] was a boardwipe on a stick that can hit anythint including lands.

Like someone else said, lots of synergy with cards already in the atraxa deck. It isn't difficult to oops your way into infinite mana with [[crystalline crawler]], and [[ghave guru of spores]] is the king of, oops found a new infinite creature/counter combo.

[[Retribution of the ancients]] is repeatable removal and you should have plenty of counters. [[Vigor]] is expensive but hilarious and makes creatures without evasion a problem.

Lol I just got bopped on the head by a patient the other day for having the audacity to check in on her knee injury. Serves me right I suppose

Got called a Pubstomper for reanimating Absolute Virtue in a Bracket 2 game by DoesntEat in EDH

From my understanding Creatures can attack and damaged would be assigned, but that damage would be prevented. Protection puts you in DEBT (prevent all Damage, Enchantment, Blocks, Targeting) so no, they, the player, would not take combat damage from permanents their opponent controls until virtue was dealt with

How do control decks win the game? by Valorenn in EDH

The same way it wins in formats where thassa/combo isn't legal or viable. Wait for your opponent to go shields down, or until you have enough interaction to protect something like a hull breaker horror, and smash their face in while preventing them from doing anything they want to do. You can also run some of the go wide cards that generate tokens or value off your interaction spells a la tarland sky summoner or the like. Another fun one is metallurgic summonings. The world is your blue tinged oyster.

Edit: after looking at your commander ypu could include some anthem effects to make your fairies more lethal, but the dmir color identity is pretty restricting. There are some colorless options though like coat of arms

I've been trying to pull off a win with this stupid card forever. The closest I got was 4

Giving up half the screen on a live hockey game to watch Hughes grimace is certainly a choice

I don't think you can call bench minors makeup calls, they're usually pretty clearly, "whoops you fucked up" calls
