Deck Description

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

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

Mairsil sure makes things interesting. Use their abilities to exile cards and gain their abilities to your use!

Even though you may exile cards from either your hand or your graveyard, it is suggested that you focus your grave instead of your hand. This way you lose less card advantage, and may even be able to fuel your discard effects, such as Cathartic Reunion or Merfol Looter in the process!

The main wincons consider Mairsil, as you may easily understand. Most often this is performed via stalling and commander damage beatdown, but creature token spam and stolen resources may also provide a possible way to win.
