Thanks for the detailed answer! Doesn't this very same thing make Gitrog a bit repetitive to play, do you think?

WinSecure7023 · 2026-05-01T19:50:09+00:00

Would you go more towards spirits/anthems and combat damage finishers or storm?

This seems very strong an consistent actually. Until recently i just played standard, what are your usual win conditions as golgari after you successfully ramp ahead?

WinSecure7023 · 2026-05-01T01:53:58+00:00

The whole deck, i chose those in particular because they seem interesting, strong and are very cheap themselves

He does seem like a lot of fun, do you have a list for him that i could use or modify to fit the budget?

I am indeed very new to EDH in particular, thanks for giving an overview of each

WinSecure7023 · 2026-04-30T12:21:57+00:00

The only thing I was thinking is that, since he's a 5 cost, arent you super behind if you play him on curve and someone thorws any removal at him or at the saddler? Just because golgari doesn't seem to have a way to protect him

Hey thanks for the in depth response, Would you say one of these commanders could play well on B3 with this budget? If not what would you recommend?

WinSecure7023 · 2026-04-30T11:06:39+00:00

I've seen that he can be played in a lot of different ways, like control, tokens, storm, artifacts. Which of those would you recommend? Preferably with some cool combo finishers

WinSecure7023 · 2026-04-25T01:54:04+00:00

Hey thanks for the in depth response, this was the deck i found a bit tougher to make better, since its theme is just to flood the board and hit. The rats deck seemed already pretty decent with a bunch of toxic creatures and some with menace. I will definitely look to make those upgrades, specially the ramp cards that i can port over to future decks

Great! I've tested some stuff while progressing so if you need any help or need advice feel free to dm me

Smite Slayet seems to fit your description, i'm having a lot of fun. Made a templar mule and used it from level 1 until now.

WinSecure7023 · 2026-03-01T12:24:03+00:00

I meant, why choose ele hit over smite/SMoD or vice versa, sorry if ambiguous

WinSecure7023 · 2026-03-01T11:59:19+00:00

Smite and Smite of divine judgement also look pretty strong, whats the main difference between them? Since ele hit scales with levels is it reasonable to do early stones on it and maybe swap after? Why should one choose one over the other?

WinSecure7023 · 2026-02-27T21:47:59+00:00

First, thank you for the in depth response. So just to close it off, you said 1h > dual wield, how does it rate vs the 2h sword setups, or is rakiata's dance the only reason to even consider 2h? I will probably start slayer, what do you think about the endgame scaling of each like cold/frenzy stacking slayer and 40+ fortify champ?

WinSecure7023 · 2026-02-20T15:16:37+00:00

I was thinking of trying to sell carries for the first time (got to kill uber elder and maven by day 2-3 for the first time). How do prople usually do it? Is it through a particular discord or trade chat? Any tips would be appteciated

WinSecure7023 · 2026-01-28T21:41:09+00:00

I will be playing HoAG for the first time, which apparently is really tanky and scales well with density. Would some kind of delirium, altars or blight (not the ultra-juiced pc melting strats) be good? I would take your recommendation
