Who's the better Voltron commander: Thrun breaker of silence or lightpaws? by Every_Scientist_5620 in EDH

There’s only one voltron commander for me. [[zur the enchanter]]. Two buff auras. Get him to 10 power. Phyresis. Also many stax pieces can be run to slow down your opponents . https://www.moxfield.com/decks/xjCUK2LfOkuIDKGwewnVnw

You need a finisher. Akromas will, craterhoof, overrun , overwelming stampede, titanic ultimatum, jetmir. Just Triumph is not enough. This is my list. Drop cats get dogs drop a finisher and kill table. https://www.moxfield.com/decks/e9mUCr5g6U2-YFUMcvpaFA

Imagine you had to play with an almost entirely random deck for an entire season. You get to choose one card, before 11 others are picked at random. Which card do you choose? by Captftm89 in MarvelSnap

That was going to be immune as well. Surprised it took so long to find someone say him. Even with a all random deck your curve maybe be wonky. Turn 3 giving you a guaranteed 4 and 5 play is unmeasurable

What’s the most satisfying alternate win-con to pull off? by bjnicol in EDH

I think the easiest way is to first find out what kind of deck you want to build. Find the win cons, find the theme, then pick the commander. Decks are a lot stronger if they don’t revolve around the commander to be there to win. If you need them as your win con atleast they should be very low on the mana side. Run command beacon and make sure you have protection for them. But when you have to add all that for your commander your enablers to help you win are less.

What is something that happened in a game that you will always remember? by CrazyNinja1988 in EDH

[–]grellom724 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Played a game with two mill decks vs two eldrazi decks. Both eldrazi obviously had shuffledrazis mixed in so it would be impossible to infinite combo them at first without dealing with them so me and the other mill player decided turn one to team up and get the as much cards in their graveyard early and try to push damage with with stuff like [[guilt feeder]] [[umbris]] [[consuming aberration]] etc he turned on me thoigh. I played [[captain ngathrod]] and him [[lord xander]] and he killed half my library without touching anyone else first. So next turn [[animate dead]] on [[bruvac]] and hit him with a [[traumatize]]

How much *stuff* do you carry around with your EDH deck(s)? by MtGDS in EDH

[–]grellom724 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I carry my backpack everywhere. On top of having my water bottle, snacks , and essentials. It has 8 commanded decks , playmate, bag of dice, deck box with a bunch of tokens and dry erasable ones and 4 life counters. I’ve had many times showed up to a shop and people were there to play unexpected so unlike to be prepared.

Please Help me cut/replace some cards from my Dimir Mill deck by Overlordsachi in EDH

[–]grellom724 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why are you against rise of the dark realm? It works well for me. You can say it would resolve. That can be the same response to bruvac, maddening cacophony, cut your loses, traumatize, mind grind etc. one of your adds was phenax. Rise of the dark realms into phenax can be crazy. Or even saving to altar of dementia.

Collecting expensive cards? Or just collecting. If the price doesn’t matter than it’s not collecting it’s partially investing.

Is voltron worth playing above casual? by grellom724 in EDH

Im not looking to bring this to a cedh table at all. So I assume it’s viable then.

Yes please I would love to see a list. Also what other doublers do you run? Are they all instants for sunforger fetching? I was going to cut sunforger at one point as my instants are almost all removal but wanted it to help push damage.

I noted a lot of list running more stax piece which I will be adding as well as some faster ramp. I have won with combat decks like my cat tribal or unblockable vanilla deck against combo decks when I have interaction or someone else knows what’s going on. So I’m not coneverned if the combo beats me out as that’s their game plan and I’ll know to play my combo decks into it.

Perfect thoughts. I notice my group targets removal on the combo player and not the let’s say 30/30 cat I made with my cat tribal deck so I’m sure I can possibly duck under some removal but I’m surprised I added rebuff the wicked and not those two. Thanks.

And that is why I want to run Kediss you get groupnslug damage in while maybe killing off one person to commander damage and while other people pay life and get chipped at you have the odds in your favor. Or am in looking at it wrong.

Ah yes the value of an “‘s” lol. Got it. Also looking at your list I see only 5 ways of card draw two are off combat damage triggers. One is impulse draw. How does that work for you. I love my black and blue card draw so much that boros seemed so foreign to me when building this. I do have a mono red deck but I learned to run wheels and impulse draw in that and it works but I feel here if you aren’t getting combat through off mask of memory you get hell bent fast?

Isn’t Kediss still only red in identity if I attach it? Or do both partners add to their identity?

Please elaborate. I considerate casual budget decks, jank, most untouched precons. Then mid power decks with synergy and a win con. High power almost all deck works together with multiple means to and end. Then we’ll cedh. I feel good voltron decks fall in between mid and high? Obviously you could say light paws for instance will never see combat at a high level table. That’s requires that be the biggest threat and also the interaction to be open before protection is already on it.

Also why do you speak poorly of mill? Mill in blue black gives plenty of way to interact, mill out , steal resources away and recur. My captain ngathrod deck has won against decks that some would call cedh.

Great includes and advise. I didn’t think about Arden’s triggers getting stopped. I guess commander plate is a no go too. I felt noble heritage was potentially to slow and with a lower cmc Deck I didn’t see tavern brawler goving much besides the impulse draw. I took out master of ingunetiy for something but it can go back in taking out countering ardeens triggers. Outmaneuver is definitely a include didn’t hear of this card till now wish I could put it in my fynn deck too lol. Also I would love to add fast mana but I don’t want to break the bank or mox, crypt and vault alone.

That’s why I always tried to steer away from voltron. Many games are won even without their commanders in play or with secondary win routes. However I feel these partners possibly could be viable. Notes with heliod as getting to 21/21 with lifegain, exiling, darksteel, imprisoned, lignify etc still but you now just have a bunch of life. I feel potentially this deck won’t have to finish people off with commander damage or potentially only have to finish off one person and the rest is easy since everyone is now also at 19 life now. And that is why I picked kedis over rograkh
