#MTG #MAGICTHEGATHERING #EDH

While I loved LotR draft #mtgwoe has me addicted. Haven't really read any draft guides, but blue seems open so often. And I love me a Aquatic Alchemist. My max thusfar has been 4 copies in UR spell slingers.

I know Storm can be a bit contentious, butt I'm paying neither Blue nor Black. This deck started out Golgari with Dina, but I really wanted to play Rite of Harmony into Chatterstorm. The Partners allow for quite some life gain, when you're in a pickle. I might take out the combo win, so you have do it manually...

So, me and two friends used to always buy the precons, because buying the bunch was marginally cheaper. But sometimes you'd take a second deck, because someone had to. This is how I got this deck. However, I quickly fell in love with it. Mutating can give you a lot of value. It's controlly. It punches. I love it.

When I got the Kalamax precon I listened to the Commandzone upgrade guide and it was humming. I was beating my friends and I was beating them fast. But it didn't feel like my style. So, I took out all the combos, all the counters and added in pump spells and combat tricks. It's instant Voltron, still fast, but now out feels more like a me-deck.

This deck really needs some help. I tried to force building a Grixis deck, but stumbled upon Garza and decided I'll try Shadowmage Infiltrator tribal. Sadly, I'm lacking real wincons to close out the game and the infiltrators become outclassed and irrelevant very quickly. But I still have hope.

I love enchantment decks, but I tend to build them very slow control, without any payoffs, or ass aggressive voltron decks. This started out as the former with cards like rhystic study, but I decided to get away from that focusing on beating down with fairies. It still draws a ton of cards, but I have to attack first.

I didn't even play that much Street Fighter II, but many of the legendaries spoke to me. Also I had seen a Rhonas fight deck some years ago and really liked the idea. Zangief it's really good at switching gears between control and aggression.

Dinos are awesome, what else can I say? At first I was unsure, of I wanted to commit to this deck, because there is not much variation between Gishath decks. It's also a perfect deck to lend people, who are not as experienced. I hope the next Ixalan set has some good dinosaurs

I love cEDH gameplay. The way those players read each other, politick, time their spells, mulligan... However my usual playgroup would never even proxy cEDH decks. So I suggested artisan. Every card has to been printed at uncommon or common rarity. I decided take a stormy grixis route and it's so much fun.

Next up: guildcoloured decks. Continuing with enemy colours.

This started out as the Kaldheim precon. I tried out different commanders between Abomination of Llanowar and Partners before I landed on Harald. I realised I needed card advantage to find payoffs for the large amounts of mana the deck would produce very quickly. This also lead new down a tyvar subtheme.
