Andrew Jackson Highlander - Skullbriar, the Walking Grave
Unstoppable, Yet Affordable Welcome to Andrew Jackson Highlander! AJH is a series where I build and share $20 deck techs. While this series will probably be new to most of you, I started posting this series six weeks ago on Reddit (those older articles will also be accessible on EDHREC via my author page). For […]
General Medicine — Savra's Supreme Sacrifice Engine
Welcome back friends to another edition of General Medicine! Today we’re taking a look at a two-color deck very much built around the commander championing it, Peter’s brew of [card]Savra, Queen of the Golgari[/card]! But before we get into the list and a preliminary diagnosis, I want to expand upon the color pairing in general. […]
Uncompetitive Spirit — Kingdoms
Too Many Cooks... EDH is pretty great, though I think we’d be hard-pressed to find consensus among the community about exactly what it is that makes it great. Some like to play competitive EDH, a concept I myself find very difficult to grok. Some like to play preconstructed decks or Pauper EDH with only commons […]
EDH Political Science — Duel to the Death
World at War When the world is thrown into the chaos of multi-sided war there is an air of unpredictability. Each country is attempting to get an edge on the enemy, but is ultimately only concerned with survival. During the last World War, there were the Axis and Allies, but each country fought multiple fronts […]
Commander Showdown — Hapatra vs The Scorpion God
V for Venom-Detta Voilà! In view, the vast valleys of Ixalan! However, now that we've arrived at this vivid, vibrant vista, we must veer our vessel back to Amonkhet! We volunteered to visit two voracious veterans before the Hour of Devastation vanishes, and they would be very vexed and vindictive if we vacated our vow. If you, valuable viewer, would rather […]
Weird Harvest — Pharika, Plague Politics
Hello everyone and welcome to the first installment of Weird Harvest. Over the course of this series I hope to impress upon all of you one of my favorite elements of EDH, and that is using jank during our build process to disrupt our opponents. You may ask yourself, “Why would I ever intentionally put […]
Commander Showdown — Titania vs The Gitrog Monster
Let Me Tell You a Story Some time ago, I sat down for a game with my favorite deck, [card]The Gitrog Monster[/card]. A short while into this game, I assembled a small army with an [card]Avenger of Zendikar[/card]. An opponent wiped the board. I dropped a [card]Rampaging Baloths[/card] and began to recreate the army, but […]
Underdog's Corner — Ishkanah, Grafwidow
This article is Round 13 of the Underdog’s Corner, a series spotlighting various lesser-used commanders and their place in the format. Each article makes the argument for a single commander that deserves more play, as well as highlighting key cards and synergies. A Crawling Sensation Hello, everyone and welcome back to the Underdog's Corner! In my my […]
Partner Focus — Reyhan, Last of the Abzan
[card]Reyhan, Last of the Abzan[/card] is one lonely (and angry) warrior khan. As her comrades die around her, she rallies strength from their sacrifice and inspires the rest of the troops under her command. That inspiration is a fluid that flows from the fallen to the survivors in her presence. Whenever a creature you control […]
Commander Showdown — Karador vs Meren
Blast from the Past Commander Anthology comes out this Friday, inviting us all to enjoy some of our old favorites from past Commander products, such as [card]Kaalia of the Vast[/card] and [card]Derevi, Empyrial Tactician[/card]. The Anthology deck I'd like to spend some time on is Plunder the Graves, featuring [card]Meren of Clan Nel Toth[/card]. Before Commander […]
