Legendary EDH

by angus_02 on 04 January 2012

Main Deck (99 cards)

Sideboard (1 card)

Creatures (1)

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

Progenitus is the General.

Fist of the Suns, Dragon Arch, and Elvish piper 'cheats' the legendaries into play for less CMC.

This is my first attempt at an EDH deck so ANY suggestions on how to improve this deck would be greatly appreciated.

My first upcoming deck! Thanks to all who helped me with this.

You have two of the Selesnya signet. Don't know what I'd put in it's place.

As was suggested I added elvish piper in place of the accidental, second Selesnya Signet. Thanks for pointing that out.

Thanks for informing me, I had no idea. Like I said before, this is my first attempt at a EDH deck... Do you have any suggestions on what I could put in their place?

Excuse my asking, but what exactly is/are the P9? I checked the official list of banned cards in Edh and the only violation that I saw was the black lotus.

Put Progenitus in the sideboard. The actual deck is 99 cards and the general is the 100th card.

What's your endgame? Are you ramping to get Progenitus into play as quickly as possible? Or are you just using him for your color identity?

Given your large number of dragons, I'd capitalize more on actually using their draconic identity. Adding Karrthus, Tyrant of Jund will prevent your tri-color dragons from being large, expensive removal magnets and allow them to get in hits immediately. Warstorm Surge can allow you to hit with their power AND swing.

I'd skip the Attendants. They cost too much to cast for mana generators and are one-use only. Not good when you only have one of each, and the odds of getting the wrong one out are too high. Plus they don't do anything for your opposing-color legends (the Planar Chaos dragons). I suggest adding more green for mana ramp (Rampant Growth, Cultivate, Kodama's Reach, Explosive Vegetation) in addition to Harrow, so that you can get the lands you need. In place of Llanowar Elves I'd use either Sakura-Tribe Elder or Yavimaya Elder. In EDH, land fetch is superior to straight up mana-generation. Green will be your mana generation base, then you can just use the signets to transform it.

I'd also replace the Panoramas with Terramorphic Expanse, Evolving Wilds, (They can be used in the event of a total mana screw) and whichever of the basic lands you need more. Flagstones of Trokair also helps a lot, because it can search for NON-Basic plains. However, you don't have the Ravnica shock-lands, so that might be unnecessary.

Your creatures are almost all expensive. Get Quicksilver Amulet. It's cheap, it was reprinted, and works regardless of mana screw as long as you have 4 mana.

Finally, EDH decks need boardwipe cards, especially ones that kill creatures. Wrath of God, DoJ, Nevinyrral's Disk, Plague Boiler, Damnation---they're potential life savers. Put a Quicksilver Amulet creature on the stack, then respond with Plague Boiler for a board clear and a discount creature.

Dragonarch seems like it would do a better job of dropping the big guys than quicksilver amulet, because it costs 2 instead of 4 to drop a card out of my hand.

You should put a Legendary Eldrazi for Niv Mizzet so you can discard into the library and redo the combo.

manalith and alloy myr can be of great use for decks like this. since they make mana of any color. mirrodin's core and relfecting pool also r great lands for the deck. one of my fav things to do is mycosynth lattice plus darksteel forge. lol pretty interesting deck.
