Yeah we recently played a few games of Star* EDH and Wumps was one of my allies with his new Tok-Tok EDH...I honestly can't remember the last time I had that much fun playing with a B/R deck...of any format let alone EDH.

*Star is a way of playing where there are five players making up a 'star' (seven works too). Each player to either side of you is your ally, and the two players across from you are you opponents. The first player to take out his two opponents wins.

Thankfully I'm pretty sure the person doesn't use the Vault anymore as far as I can tell, but yeah, there are some seriously messed up people in the world =/

Someone on this site a while back found out my real name and sent me a death threat over facebook. You can call it dodgy, but I don't really want to deal with shit like that again if I can help it.

The way I see it it's like Fatalities in Mortal Kombat. There's no practical reason to do them...but pulling someone's spine out looks a lot cooler than just kicking them once in the shin.

It's one of my very favorite quotes of his, or any author, period. I too, feel like I outdid myself. This deck, and I must admit my Stabwhiskers one as well, has quickly grown to be one of my favorites.

I don't know why but whenever I play it I just giggle like a schoolgirl.

I also have a feeling that nixing Flayer for other things would be the way to go (as Flayer is basically just win insurance), but I can't bring myself to not have Flayer. Basically every play that includes him is hilarious. I dunno, I think with all the reasons I play this deck, I need to keep shenanigans for the sake of shenanigans.

"James while John had had had had had had had had had had had a better effect on the teacher" =P

Also try saying "Irish Wristwatch" out loud, or better yet...My personal favorite, "The sixth sick sheik's sixth sheep's sick".

Anyway, I had this offer brought to me and I must humbly decline. I have Skype, I have a fast internet, but I just can't accept the offer. Unfortunately there are a lot of people who would like to know who I am for all the wrong reasons...I've already had a couple scares. Again though, thanks for the offer =]

Because everything is singleton, it lets you use cards that you might never otherwise use. I think it's also the casual nature of it, it's a slower format where (because of the size and singleton aspect) just about anything can happen. It allows for people to sit down and chill while playing a game.

As for difficulty to build...EDH isn't really easier or harder to build for, it's just different all together. It helps a ton to have a commander you enjoy and can really build around.

I dunno, I love it =]

That's why I was thinking about it. Black Cat is great, and it is cheap, but it's effect is a one-timer. Lethemancer is more constant.

I think I'm gonna do that, take out the cat for Lethemancer.

I suppose, but I have no idea what I would take out in it's place. Black Cat?

Y'know, I forgot about Lethemancer. I might have to try out having him in instead of Mists, thanks.

Voltaic Construct only untaps artifact creatures. It wouldn't work on the Candelabra =/

Well you really can't go wrong with FoW if you're talking about combo protection...

Actually no, to my recollection there's no card other than Filigree Sages with a non-tap related activation for untaping a target artifact.

Hahaha, I love goofy combos like this. These kinds of decks always get my seal of approval. I think Spell Pierce would work better for you than Annul.

Alright, since I can't seem to find the link, I'll try to explain it as well as I can...But I still recommend the video, this is something that is better seen than told.

When the game begins you always choose to take the draw, this will leave you 8 cards and thus during the discard phase you discard one of your dredgers. With a dredger in your graveyard, you can use your draw phase and any "free" draw spells you have to start a crazy dredge-chain, dumping a ton of your library into your graveyard. You can then use Narcomeboa, Ichorid, and/or Nether Shadow as targets to flashback Dread Return. Depending on how many cards are in your graveyard, you return different things. The added bonus is when you sacrifice things to use Dread Return, if you have Bridge from Below in your 'yard (which you seriously should), you'll get a ton of 2/2 zombies. You can then use any combination of those zombies, another Dread Return or two, Flamekin Zealot, Golgari Grave-Troll, and/or Flayer of the Hatebound to dish out some serious damage. Then poof, you win.

Someone else had a really good explanation of it...I'll try to find that. In the meantime the video I have linked in my "How to Play" is pretty good. Aside from those, basically you put your entire library in your graveyard, return a few select creatures to the battlefield, and win.

I've honestly found that for whatever reason it's all I need. Whenever I'd switch things around to have 4, I'd both wish I had more of something else and less of them.

Y'know, I've always wanted to make an Insect tribal deck, but never get around to it....Hrm...
