im about to build a new edh but what 1 to do 1st I have narset, enlightened master, sidisi, brood tyrant, and surrak dragonclaw ive already built an anafenza, the foremost deck and I don't have a zurgo yet but ill build 1 for every kahns legend

rofellos as commander is a bad example since its a banned commander but I get what you are saying

edh has less then 30 cards banned and 100 different cards I think offers more variety then any 60 card deck even if you use tutors you don't always draw them and most edh players are not going to sink a ton of $ into every deck they create so they will not always have an "optimized" deck

with the non basic land valakut u swap out 7 lands to deal 21 damage

it can get competitive but is mostly supposed to be about casual fun. decks can have whatever you put in them so I wouldn't say bad cards tho the mana curve is different so you can use some 6+ drops you wouldn't normally use

some equips that give deathtouch might be interesting since u have 2 creatures that get 1st strike when equipped

not so much 2 for 1 with equipment if the creature they are on dies the equips stay in play and you just equip them to something else

isochron scepter doesn't do much for you in this deck your a little light on creatures id drop 2-3 lands for more creatures also add some card draw like mind's eye

or rancor might be good

nice article ty for posting that

for casual/legacy song of the dryads might be better then lignify

ive been playing edh for about a year but I know I still can learn
on that note I love your budget series but maybe you should start another series or 2. $100 or so and maybe try a break the bank series where you can build decks that are more spendy and might even be budget breakers im sure im not the only one that wonders what your decks would look like w/o budget

if anyone has edh ?s message me if anyone just wants to chat edh message me im going to create an edh chat deck ill post it here when I do I hope to hear from people to share ideas/learn/teach

I know you don't play edh but you do multiplayer id love for you to post on this article northy made about multiplayer politics im not great at writing/long posts but I think you are perfect to add a post on this subject

great work I could never have done this like you did

ty im glad you made this article im not a great writer and if id have done it it would have never made the hot pg I want to talk to more edh players and learn/teach im kind of the big dog in my group but I try to teach them so they can get better. I know you can never fully know magic in any format because it always changes and that's why I like it it keeps it interesting. so I know there are still many things I can learn to and id love to hear from players with other perspectives then mine.

id like to add a list of edh staple cards:
mind's eye is probably the best multiplayer any color card draw available
strip mine to get rid of any pesky non basic lands
cavern of souls if you are running a creature theme
command tower for all multicolor deck
nevinyrral's disk as board clear for any color but all colors have there own to except I cant think of a green 1 classics are damnation, plague wind, in garruk's wake, wrath of god, day of judgement, cyclonic rift, apocalypse, and many more
urborg, tomb of yawgmoth is great if you have any black in the deck
every color has its removal cards that are to numerous to list but an edh deck needs to be able to deal with threats most edh deck types are not fast/ agro style you need to have removal for any/all threats
expedition map is great to get you your sweet non basic land into your hand in any color deck
tutors are great in edh any of them can be a game winner but ring of three wishes can be a perfect edh card to help you pull a combo
mana/land ramp every color has some and an edh should have it
volrath's stronghold is another great land for black
nykthos, shrine to nyx is a land every mono deck should have
there are lots more staples that I can't think of atm so please add anything you can think of

I do have to add my say. the format is edh its only commander when you are playing a wotc premade deck lol a lot of the fun is building your own deck and seeing how it works. my group is casual/fun and we don't use the commander damage rule and we just do 1 free mulligan not the exile cards thing. we like long social games and we drink during them so some rules get bent/broken but its a good time.

i made sure to mention the 1 card other then basic land rule lol I saw you missed it im glad you are getting a great response from this I really want to hear from other edh players about great edh staples/ cards and get more people into it

I love edh. I mostly play it now. building edh decks does take a lot more creativity/thought since you can only run 1 of each card other then basic lands. edh is a social game it is generally casual multiplayer so politics are very important if you play something big everyone will go after you.
nice work northy
