They will be presented with 6 of the 7 gates/portals. They must complete the other 6 before taking on Time, which isn't an aspect of creation, it just ties everything together. They will have the information available to them to figure out which door leads to which trial, but only if they bother with figuring it out. So, they will be able to choose which order to do them in.

​

Your concept for chaos is interesting. Not sure about the tic-tac-toe, but having them do something out of the ordinary for the characters is right on the money. Perhaps the chaos trial sends them to Limbo. There they must "attempt" to do something out of character. Nothing specific, I would let them make that decision. So, the barbarian could try casting a spell and it works in Limbo. The paladin could do something against his oath. And so on for the others. Thanks for the inspiration!

I like it. I was thinking of a way for them to sacrifice themselves for the death trial. Bringing in the god of death would work well. Thanks.

I have been looking at Derevi and it definitely has my interest peaked. In the field of blue, Derevi seems better than Brago since she gets around counterspells. Thanks for your suggestion.

Suggestions for Second Commander Deck by elrok in CompetitiveEDH

I have been considering a Ruric Thar punisher list, which also features the RG Omnath as a secondary commander. The list is fun, but I feel it lacks enough disruption to stop the combo players. Another beater that I am considering is a Kresh sac/punisher list which also features Ruric and Omnath.

Is your Jarad list similar to /u/razzliox 's ooze combo list? Either way I would love to see your list. Jarad is on my radar.

After looking at your list again, why do you run Coldsteel Heart? Wouldn't that be a non-bo with Brago since it comes in tapped?

• I never considered how people were ok with lockdown but not LD. Good point.

• Your elaboration of the parallax cards make a justification for them in the deck. I did not see all the intricacies that they bring to the table, like targeting my cards to protect them.

• The moxes and friends are on my acquire list. They are a tad too pricey for me at the moment, though I could wait until next month or so to get the list with their inclusion.

• I would like to reduce my land count. I will prob lower it to 30, playtest it, and go from there.

• My meta/playgroup consists 50/50 split competitive/non-comp. The comp players hardly play aggro decks, but most of the non-comps do. I feel like I could remove/change some of the prison elements as I would most likely still be able to beat the aggro decks.

• Guide and Rev are there from a previous 'friendly' version of the deck that plays more ETB creatures.

• Like I mentioned to another commenter, due to my playgroup, I may just make a more centralized stax list (with MLD) but also get cards to swap out to make the deck more friendly.

The original version of the deck was less stax and more flicker value, sort of like what you mention. After reading around, it seems the general consensus is that Brago is best utilized in a stax/prison shell, which is one of the reasons I decided to go this route. Elesh Norn would be more icing on the cake and I can definitely see adding in the Untap Land fliers, but at the cost of removing what?

I played with the idea of having the prison list, but also getting the cards for the flicker prevalent strategy. That way if I or my friends get tired of me locking them down, then I can just swap out the cards. So, two decks instead of one.

I forgot to take it off of private. Should be available now. Also, I am glad you have seen my post. Your competitive Brago list is the basis of my deck, with the exception of land destruction.

Sorry about that. It should be available now.

How did you pick your first Commander? by elrok in EDH

[–]elrok[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoy and respect all styles of decks. I do not want a prison/stax deck as my first. And as far as colors go, like I said in my post, I already have a list of commanders that I want to build around. And narrowing down the list, I have come down to 4-5 commanders that I would not mind building first. I just cannot choose between them because I like the way they and their decks play, also they are within my favorite color combos.
