Deck Description

Syr Alin must be the least played commander of the last few years. I've never heard of anyone running him in a deck, whether as a commander or in the 100. This deck tries to make a(t least a semi-) playable assemblage out of him!

This is a Budget Elder Dragon Highlander deck (BEDH). It is meant for the Elder Dragon Highlander format, a.k.a. Commander. If you are not familiar with the format, I'll link it below for you.

I mostly use MTG Vault for my own private projects nowadays, but feel free to comment or request a deck of your choice. I've loved the Vault so far, and I like that they are still improving on it, as well as I am improving on my English language skills.

So, if you like what you see, consider checking out some of my other budget-y work from the link below.

How to Play

Syr Alin ain't too good of a commander, but a nice topic to brainstorm on nevertheless!

This deck attempts to create a lot of tokens, then have a lot of haste-enablers to drop Alin and swing with him right away to provide your dudes with a handy buff up. I am not saying it will surely work, but considering all options with him I thought it was a silly experiment to try on.
