Help Please - My First EDH (Kn..

by Beowulf85 on 22 September 2012

Main Deck (78 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

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

A knight deck with Rafiq of the Many as a commander. I've never built EDH before and it is proving difficult to eliminate cards. I've already brought the deck count down from over 120 to 78, but at this point I'm stuck.

I give loads of other people fairly good and well explained deck advice, I'd appreciate some back at this point.

I'm trying to keep this tribal, so please don't suggest things like Primeval Titan. I know it's in virtually every green EDH. :)

This is why I've never built EDH.

I also want to build a Zombie and Elf EDH, and already have card lists that need refining. I may post them later depending how this goes.

Deck discussion for Help Please - My First EDH (Knights)

Quick side not on that Zombie/Elf Tribe you may/may not build: Grimgrin, Corpse Born can cause some crazy shenanigans, and for elves, Nath of the Gilt Leaf, Rhys (if you're willing to drop that much money for your deck) although there are TONS of Elf legends out there that will also work.

Now, onto this.

Point of order: Put Rafiq in your Sideboard, just so he's easier to find.

Second Point of Order: Uh... you don't have lands... and those are kind of important in Magic... a standard deck should have about 40 lands, maybe a few less.

Now, onto the deck:

Rafiq is, for all intents and purposes, a 4/4 double striker. The goal of Rafiq is to give him +7/+7 and unblockable. To this extent, most people use Equipment and make him a Voltron deck, which works very well. Another popular choice, is to just use Exalted things and swing once or twice. A Knight EDH, doesn't really work with Rafiq himself. For that, try Haakon, Stromgald Scourge (yes it is possible, no you can't use him as your actual commander, you have to Entomb him or something like that). If you REALLY want to make this a tribe, you need to put in the best Knights there are, and no filler Knights. I would suggest Sublime Archangel, but she is an Angel, but I definitely think she's worth it.

You need removal spells. Get rid of some of those "change the text of a card to a different color" instants. I see the combo you're putting up with the protection swords, and it will not require 7. 1 or 2 tops. Put in removal spells. you are in White and Blue, so Condemn, Oblation, Counter Spells to the max, O-Ring, Path to Exile, all that stuff. You NEED lots of removal.

Actually Primeval Titan is banned in EDH, unless your local playgroup says its okay to use.
