big city comics and games is having a EDH tourny on friday 3/12 and im joining. made a deck and need help fixing it. big city comics and games is at 12317 state line road in kansas city missouri next to the McGilley funeral home and across from the hy-vees shoping center for anyone that wants to or can join. we want a higher turnout for FNM than what we have been getting so... if you can please do. and tell them that sid sent you. i will get store credit for you comming in and will appreciate it if you would. so please help and i hope to see some people at the store. if you dont know the rules for EDH its kind of simple but hard to make a deck -- you must have a 100 exactly card deck -- the deck must have only 1 of each card accept lands -- you must have 1 legendary creature as your leader -- your deck must be the color or colors of your leader -- you CAN have more than 1 legendary creature as long as its not the same as your others -- you can have planeswalkers thats about it. if you can think of any more rules, post them please.

Who's your general?

You can't have a card that contains colored mana symbols on it that aren't in your general's CMC. Voracious Hatching, and Creakwood Ghoul & Liege are illegal in your deck, unfortunately. Your group may change this as a house rule, but I'd ask about it before hand so you're all on the same page. In EDH, card advantage is king. You may want to look at reducing the number of cards that trade one-for-one with the opponent for cards that have more broad effects (i.e. less Mire Blight, more Damnation). Also, small to midsized creatures that can only deal damage tend to be of little use in this format, as they can't deal a relevant amount of damage before they get killed by a board sweeper is played or an opponents' creature is so large you're afraid to attack into it. Therefore, a card like Ruthless Cullblade (even though it's undercosted) is weak in EDH as it has virtually no hope in swinging the game in your favor by itself. A card like Vampire Hexmage is good, though, because it can attack or block, but the real benefit is in it's ability to kill planeswalkers; the 2/1 body is just a small extra benefit on a utility spell. You have to have a ton of Ruthless Cullblades to make a threatening army, and if you did you'd lose massive card advantage to an inevitable board sweeper. But with a Hexmage, 1) the main point isn't to supplement your offense, and 2) even if a Wrath comes down you can still hit someting with the ability and retain card parity. That said, here are a few cards to look at adding: Cabal Coffers/ Crypt of Agadeem- insane mana production Journeyer's Kite/ Armillary Sphere- great for hitting later-game land drops Grave Pact/ Attrition- both are great at trading your weenies with their bombs, and they work even better in tandem! Damantion/Crypt Rats/Mutilate/Pestilence/Bane of the Living/Oblivion Stone/Nevinyrral's Disk- board sweepers are a staple in EDH, and these are some of the best available to black. Diabolic Tutor/ Beseech the Queen- tutors are also great in EDH, and these are dirt cheap Syphon Mind/ Mind's Eye- these are great multiplayer draw spells for obvious reasons Balthor the Defiled/ Patriarch's Bidding- these cards can turn a game around for you Gatekeeper of Malakir/ Ascendant Evincar/ Mephidross Vampire/ Cairn Wanderer- simply strong vampires I didn't see in your list Also, I think you should add some more lands to the deck; 32 is asking for mana-screw. I typically run about 44 mana sources in my decks (between lands, mana artifacts, and rampant growth-type cards). I tend to err on the mana heavy side, but seriously consider going up to ~38 lands and throwing in a few mana stones like Coalition Relic, Phyrexian Totem, or Skull of Ramos. Here are some cards I think can get cut for room: Demon's Horn- it is slow and only gains life, consider you could just use a Drain Life instead and get a removal spell, too. Acolyte of Xrathid/ Blightspeaker/ Giant Cockroach/ Giant Scorpion/ Viscid Lemures/ Dread Warlock- these are the small to midsized creatuers I warned you about. I seriously doubt any one of these creatures would deal a substantial amount of damage. Unholy Strenght/ Smake Cult Initiation/ Soul Bleed- these cards don't do a whole lot (two power isn't much and you're not trying to win via poison) and they simply die with the creature they enchant. Equipment is a much better way to pump your dudes as it sticks around. (Nightmare Lash is insane in mone-black!) Mire Blight/ Brink of Disaster- there are simply stronger removal spells available to you Megrim- I don't see enough discard for this to be consistently useful for you Urge to Feed/ Vicious Hunger- these cards won't have enought targets to kill, as the average creature in EDH is much larger than in other games of Magic. I hope some of that helps!
Hi Scrumbling1. I was talking to my MTG group and they told me that even if teh card was a hybrid like Voracious Hatching, and Creakwood Ghoul & Liege those 3 cards would be legal in that EDH deck since black in also a color. I'm just interested to know if you have alink to that rule that hybrid cards are not legal if the mana symbols on those cards are not part of teh mana symbols on your general? Not trying to say that you are wrong just curious to know if it's true because we would need to change the the way we play hybrid cards in our EDH decks. Thanks
heck yeah, that all helps
