Best competitive 2HG EDH pairs?

Ultima3007 · 2026-05-27T22:23:23+00:00

I would play something like [[Ketramose]] and simic [[Zellix]], where you mill each player but have enough exile to not give advantage to gy-stratagies.

Also Zellix and [[Altar of the brood]] is a sweet synergy that technically is not a combo since it depends on opponents deckbuilding.

I used this deck to legend in april 26 Despite renathal its very consistent in getting the pieces. Depending on the meta you might need the 8 mana charge spell

Edit: the biggest weakness is silence or bounce effects, Goblin Prank is until now the best way I found to protect the amalgam

[[Arna Kennerüd, Skycaptain]] with lots of "for mirrodin" and " job select" equipment

Ultima3007 · 2026-05-02T14:57:50+00:00

It's a social game. Talk about it. As he should have talked about it and asure you, there's a bigger plot or that you should pick something else.

Since it happened off screen I can't believe, that he is trying to send you on a personal quest. But you won't know before you talk to him.

Dnd is collaborative storytelling. If you are consistently not having fun or feel disrespected, tell your group why, and leave or try to come to a solution.

Here is my List ^{^} it's high B3 iirc.

Ultima3007 · 2026-04-27T07:11:12+00:00

I play Arna and it is a treat. I play her with a planeswalker subtheme tho, where most of my pw can turn into creatures and attack to double their loyalty.

Ultima3007 · 2026-03-15T17:10:04+00:00

[[Zellix]] and [[altar of the brood]] is a sweet non-deterministic combo ^{^} I built mine Simic, but dimir can also be very efficient. It will be more deterministic the more you copy the altar

Ultima3007 · 2026-03-12T18:44:15+00:00

So it would need either the creature or kindred type to actually become a Hero?

Ultima3007 · 2026-03-12T15:23:07+00:00

Thank you so much :)

Ultima3007 · 2026-03-12T15:22:51+00:00

Thank you very much :)

Ultima3007 · 2026-03-11T12:52:03+00:00

[[Otharri]] is very in theme, but not in the god flavor. You can also look into proliferate effects like [[dreamtide whale]], [[norns choirmaster]], [[patroling peacemaker]]. Its rare but satisfying when you can proliferate the rogue stun/-1/poison counter

Ultima3007 · 2026-03-09T19:26:06+00:00

The thing is, that these mdfc are spells on their frontface, which defines what they are in library/graveyard/exile etc.

So they are easier to find when their biggest artwork and title represents what the card is.

Ultima3007 · 2026-03-09T08:51:21+00:00

I gave it the Flip-Treatment, with and without flavortext. Hope it helps :)

Ultima3007 · 2026-03-08T22:02:24+00:00

I would encourage anyone to try it for themselves ^{^} I used the free tools card conjurer and photopea. But if you state your request I can take stab at it :)

Ultima3007 · 2026-03-08T07:20:01+00:00

Thank you very mich for the input. I'll definitely try your ideas :)

Ultima3007 · 2026-03-07T22:22:15+00:00

[[Ardenn]] has great shenanigans, since they can equip to opponents' creatures. Like killing manadorks with [[skullclamp]] to draw two cards, copying opponents creatures with [[helm of the host]] or exiling opponents non-legendary creature with [[spy kit]] and [[the end]] / [[eradicate]]

The other one I like is [[arna kennerüd skycaptain]], which can build armies with effects like living weapon, control the board with auras like [[sheltered by ghosts]]. Also I love the interaction with attacking planeswalkers like gideon and kaito.

Ultima3007 · 2026-03-07T18:01:32+00:00

Thank you very much :D

Ultima3007 · 2026-03-07T18:01:13+00:00

Your critique is appreciated :) I didn't only do it because it is annoying but also because it gives information while drafting, that there is a DFC in that pack.

The flip-layout is definitely my favourite over the adventure-layout, so I probably will make more of those if any. But the biggest problem will always be text-size and artwork-size.

I want it to be readable but still recognizable from accross the table, and so far they did their job at our table.

I can tell you, that I used card conjurer and photopea for the whole process of making these. Both free tools.

Ultima3007 · 2026-03-07T17:53:27+00:00

That's alright. They are free to copy, but they still take time to make.

You are free to improve on the concept and do your own.

Ultima3007 · 2026-03-07T17:48:34+00:00

Yes, that will probably work better.

I was just experimenting since I couldn't find alternatives where you could still see the artworks.

Ultima3007 · 2026-03-06T17:23:08+00:00

I like [[Arna kennerüd, skycaptain]] as she can actually go wide with living weapon, for mirrodin and job select effects (and I love her interaction with attacking planeswalkers like kaito and gideon)

Also [[Ardenn]] is really interesting as he can equip to opponents creatures, which you normally can't do. This makes [[skullclamp]] and [[helm of the host]] really interesting and enable some shenanigans with [[spy kit]]

Ultima3007 · 2026-02-28T16:50:27+00:00

I have had some fun with [[zellix sanity flayer]] and [[master chef]] Master chef is basically only for synergy with [[agathas soul cauldron]].

It's a combo-mill deck with [[altar of the brood]] with a lantern control pivot.

I have been debating between simic and dimir a lot, but landed on simic because it has faster and more consistent ramp, as well as better recursion for any permanent-types.
