balance and limited resources are banned and you have two vampiric tutors. other than that, how about indomitable ancients

Thanks guys. I thought those two cards were only banned in multiplayer...? Oh well.

indomitable ancients doesn't really look that great, as Doran is really only the general for color reasons, and Ancients doesn't contribute to a stax deck very much.

Thran Dynamo is strictly better than Ur-Golem's Eye, and I think I might try out Exploration and Burgeoning, as multiple land drops would be very nice. I cut a land from my original list, so that's what I will turn the second Tutor into

Why are there so many repeats? 115 cards? If it's a mistake that's fine, just maybe clean it up a little so it's easier to look at. Seems really well rounded. Also, braids might be banned, but I can't remember which one specifically since there are two. Maybe check on that. I love EDH, probably best format ever made for MTG. If you like EDH and have some time, check out some of the decks I've made:

Also: if Doran is just for his colors, they have other Commanders that might be more useful if you haven't had a chance to look: Ghave, Guru of Spores, Karador, Ghost Chieftain, Teneb, the Harvester. Just a thought.

Thanks! I'll definitely check out your decks. I don't think either Braids is banned (I use French ban-list).

mtgv was bugging earlier... That's likely what caused the repeats. I'll fix them.

Hmmm... Good idea. I already play Karador :)

Oh Ok. Actually I think evil braids is banned in the English list. Originally it got too much hate as a Commander so they just decided to get rid of it in general (I believe).

How do you like Korador? I haven't used him yet so I'm not sure how he'd actually play, but he seems solid. I appreciated your comments on my decks. Always glad to find other EDH players just out for some fun. :)

He is ok, not great though. He is a little slow obviously, but if I can ramp to him through the Stax effects that's game. As a general, he just kicks ass in a Stax deck. The cast-from-gy really is as insane as it seems.

Note that this is through the eyes of a Stax deck. If you build a gy recursion deck around him, that would likely kick ass
