Life of a Control Player @stop-on-your-upkeep - Tumblr Blog

I find it ironic that the people who are loudest to sing "Land of the free, home of the brave" are the same people who love passing laws that disrupt poor people's lives, and pee their pants in fear at anybody who doesn't look or sound like them

Don’t Wrath Me [EDH]

[Full List Here]

The first commander list I ever posted on my blog, back when i was doing the whole #TEAMGRAZZLEBRAND thing, was Kamahl. Green is one of the few colours that doesn’t lose out on removal, or car draw, or ramp when played in isolation. Kamahl has two extremely powerful abilities. The second, is more straight forward; large amounts of mana can be spend to make all of your creature’s huge, functioning as a build your own Craterhoof Behemoth. The first ability however, is often undervalued. Turning your own lands into creature’s is rarely something you will want to do. However, it prevents anyone from ever wrathing the board while Kamahl is out, if they do they will lose all their lands.

Commander is my favorite format by far. There’s so much fun to be had in these multiplayer games of 100 card decks.

In MTG, the biggest thing I’ve ever wanted to collect was every single legendary ever printed in a commander set. This is my collection, and any commander currently being used by a deck has been proxied in the collecting binder. Below: C13.

jones-friend

Commander 13 gets a bad rap.

And that’s not completely undeserved. We saw Oloro, Nekusar, Derevi, and Prossh all hit the field with all the degeneracy they entail.

In 2012 Wizards released the limited run of the Commander’s Arsenal, making a gap between sets. This was definitely a more conservative step in terms of how the decks were built. I remember Marath being a general naya goodstuff. Not bad, but you could do better.

I’ve got fond memories of animating my Staff of Nin to beat face, using Jeleva to sling deadly grixis spells, getting into flicker with the first dedicated flicker commander then rebuilding Roon when I had the experience, and sending the world to war with Gahiji.

They may never be the most expensive commanders, but I love them. Mostly. When Prossh isn’t one shotting me out of the game turn 5.

I won a 5 player match yesterday after getting out xenagos turn 4 then casting prosh and murdering a person every turn

Commander 2013 was my first experience with commander and I started out with the Prosh deck, and I packed the deck with damage doublers and had a lot of fun with it, but later on I started playing Shattergang Brothers as my commander and had way more fun with that because it ended up being a lot more grindy and political. I’ve had a lot of fun with the cards out of that pre-con and Goblin Bombardment and Goblin Sharpshooter have become some of my favorite cards in commander.

Baetog frowns upon land destruction

mtgaddicted

My kaalia, narset, and my land destruction decks say otherwise 😈

stop-on-your-upkeep

How about yaling down an impending disaster on turn 3 after you dump out some mana rocks 😈

I once traded a revised Plateau for a nonfoil Chandra, the Firebrand. While the value of the two cards were equal at the time, this ended up being the worst trade of my life.

What’s a trade that you wish you could take back?

stop-on-your-upkeep

Idk but the best trade I ever did was a wooded foot hills for an ancient tomb and a strip mine, this was at the time when both sides of that trade were around 17 dollars. I’m kinda glad I did it because I use both of those lands in a lot of different edh decks.

dasebeleren

I’ve always wanted to find a slot for the anime Chandra, but I just don’t have any decks that would use her. Does anyone play the original Chandra Nalaar in Commander?

stop-on-your-upkeep

I play it in a casual Gisela deck with damage doublers, the ultimate can take a player out in that deck and she does get there relatively quick

Blue Brew #2!!!-Tezzeret Lock down!

Hello MTG tumblr community, today I’m here to bring you the most soul crushing blue deck I have ever created. The decks main focus is to ramp into as many lock pieces as possible as soon as possible to win the game through artifact fatties or a Jace, the Mind Sculptor with your opponent trapped under an Ensairing Bridge.

1 Batterskull 1 Wurmcoil Engine 3 Mind Stone 2 Mox Opal 2 Phyrexian Revoker 3 Chalice of the Void 13 Island 2 Ghost Quarter 2 Field of Ruin 2 Lodestone Golem 2 Vedalken Shackles 1 Hedron Archive 1 Academy Ruins 1 Engineered Explosives 2 Pithing Needle 4 Lotus Bloom 1 Swamp 2 Ensnaring Bridge 1 Witchbane Orb 4 Tezzeret the Seeker 3 Jace, the Mind Sculptor 3 Trinket Mage 3 Spire of Industry 1 Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas

sideboard 1 Spellskite 1 Relic of Progenitus 1 Cyclonic Rift 1 Grafdigger’s Cage 1 Crucible of Worlds 1 Witchbane Orb 2 Sorcerous Spyglass 3 Thorn of Amethyst 4 Surgical Extraction

In this deck the game plan is to throw Lotus blooms into suspend on turn 1 play land and say go, On turn 2 you want to be playing your chalice on one to lock out burn, discard, cantrips, removal, and any other thing you’d typical see an abundance of in modern, Turn 3 is where things start getting real interesting for this deck. You have the option to play Ensnairing Bridge or vedalken shackles to lock or slow down your opponents attacks along with 3 copies of trinket mage to search out a plethora of 1 drop or less artifacts to make your opponents life miserable and your life easier. In our Trinket Mage package we run Pithing Needle to deal with planeswalkers, creature lands, and any number of activated abilities in modern, Engineered explosives to clear early game permanents from the field, Chalice of the void to lock out interaction with our plan, and mox opal for a boost in free colored mana.

Turn 4 is where things start getting interesting, We have access to so many mana accelerates that by now we can usually cast anything in the deck. Depending on your draw you may play Jace to set up your draws, Tezzeret to answer any one problem, or a large stabilizing creature in the form of wurmcoil engine or Batterskull. Tezzeret is best against decks that focus in winning at one angle, but can solve multiple problems if you’re not in a hurry. Ensnairing bridge locks out attacking, Pithing needle deals with a problem permanent, Orbs of warding blocks out discard, burn, and other target based win cons. Once the opponent is locked down our win cons consist of Jace or Tezzeret, agent of bolas ultimateing.

As far as lands go our mana is fixed by 3 spire of industries and 2 feild of ruins to find our singular swamp. Between our ability to tutor up Mox Opal or already having a lotus bloom in play the deck rarely needs help finding its black splash. The utility lands are rounded out by 2 ghost quarters to kill tron lands and a single Academy Ruins that seems to have won way more games than is should have.

Our side board consists of more hate cards plus the addition of surgical extraction for combo and graveyard based decks, Surgical can also deal with getting rid of problematic cards from the opponent for good such as abrupt decay or ancient grudge.

Over all the deck has a competitive feel to it and rewards the player for knowledge of the format and reading the opponent.

I hope you all enjoy!!!

Just had this deck played by my favorite streamer, Frank Lepore. Check the video out here, to see the game play. Over all it did well, super happy with this list so far.
