Many countries share the same front letters so some countries had to be given different ones. Perhaps they chose the second/third letter for yours ?

Research my friend.
Either Google it or step out on the streets and look at number plates of cars, at least that works in Europe:)

Not a bad idea.
Keep the deck more landing by using cavern of Souls to protect the oracle, and boseiju, who shelters all to keep mana severance safe.
You won't need autumn veil.

Blubman,
You should tag your decks with
D because you are probably german, and it makes it easier to find other germans once people start tagging that way.
I tag some of mine with DK as I am danish.

There, page is built.
Have you also noticed the clause "your opening deck"
That means the sideboard is a safe zone to break the rules after game 1.
Do you know the specifics about decksize after sb. As far as I recall your maindeck needs to be 60 after sb which could mean you'd get to throw the 20 cards from yorion into the sb after game 1.
At least that's how I interpret it. Also with gyruda you get to use 0 cost as 0 is considered to be even (chech ashling's prerogative)

I find all companions to be almost hypnotic.
And since you admitted to be a johnny your attraction to them should be equal to mine.
I put them in the changeling category (never forget that they exist) but I'm definitely attracted to these bad cards.
I've already thought about making a gyruda mill. Just because it's there.

I'm also making a con/pro list so I can visit it frequently when designing, mostly as a warning to myself.
Will release it in about 15 minutes.

Have you heard of lions eye diamond in legacy ?
It will probably be banned due to companion-hype

Could, not would :p

There's also the case of future development.
If one day a card is made that would make your deck 10 times better, you'd be so afraid to lose your companion that you'd not add that new card.

Companions are poison to deck developement!

You also have to think in terms of adaptability.
Having creatures isn't always an auto-win, and the sideboard is the most important part of your deck to win.

Think of it like this. Would you put zirda in your sideboard if it didn't have the companion mechanic?
If the answer is no, then you have to justify if it's worth having on the account of being an 8th undiscardable card in your hand until you use it. That in itself is truly magnificent, but only against certain decks, because logically, that slot in the sideboard is also what will kill you against other decks.

Right now companions are hot, but don't forget that your sideboard is your ultimate defence and you are damaging it.

I'm probably just being less lax, but over the years I've developed an "win at all costs"
Mentality, and companions will sometimes not be part of that.

They are all too restrictive.
I only use restrictions when they fit my general deckbuilding.
All my paperstrips are restrictive but improve things.

All companions are a one of. In some situations I can even imagine a player not using one to keep the sideboard slot.

I can see that you haven't considered phenax, god of deception.

Is it a coincidence that you, merculies, play with the merciless ?
(Or is it nominative determinism)

Lurrus and this fox is so far my favourites.
I'm more likely to build around zirda with my love of creatures with abilities.

That's a lot of tutors.
Hell, that might become a new decktype.
Take a deck, fill half of it with tutors, the other half consists of wincon and problem solving.
It could become the first 120 card deck that have worked for years.
Thematically you go for a lot of 2 card locks, and some of them might happen by themselves, which means the tutor cards won't be 50% of the deck but close.

I could see this with maralen of the mornsong, scheming symmetry, wishclaw talisman and archive trap. Add noxious revival and leyline of the void.

Heh, then thematically only commanders with colourless mana should get access to artifacts.
How about devoid cards ?

50 tutors? I only got 14.
Or are you talking about a third deck ?

Oh, yeah, forgot about that. Doesn't being red sort of legalise them?
Not a commander player, so pretty ignorant there.

Add creatures and spells that provide red mana to increase the speed of this.
Wild Cantor, manamorphosis, desperate ritual, seething song you get the drift ?
