The Furious Five
Commander Deck Challenge
Posted on: 7/13/2012 12:49 PM By obsidian2fireheartrr


[Report this Post]

 Let's start off with the results of the last contest:

for the scouting theme, the winner of creativity is:

Ethral with Scouting in Asia

and the most competitive is:

mr. staatz with Goblin Campers

for the camping theme, the winner for the most creative deck is:

Starbuck with Lost in the Woods

Everybody did a good job. Thank you for trying.

Now, for this weeks challenge, we have a commander challenge. With the release of M13, I want you to make a deck with one of the five new legendaries as the commander:

Odric, Master Tactician,

Talrand, Sky Summoner,

Nerafox, Overlord of Grixis,

Krenko, Mob Boss,

or Yeva, Nature's Herald.

If you are not familiar with commander, the deck must be 100 cards, and cannot contain cards that are not the commander's color. The commander is the centerpiece of the deck, so the deck should be based around that card.

The contest ends on Monday, you may only enter one submission, and you can only do one deck

Just an FYI the general does NOT have to be the focus, quite a few generals are used just for their colors. ex. Intet, Vorash . But the 5 of these are indeed build-around generals.

And here is my Yeva list: http://www.mtgdeckbuilder.net/Decks/ViewDeck/171011

Here's my list for Krenko. I think it looks pretty competitive.

Krenko again
the deck includes 2 ways to go infinite, and I have been playing it in my league with amazing results

ways to go infinite: kiki-jiki + lightning crafter + Alter of Dementia/warstorm surge/vicious shadows/stalking vengeance

OR Krenko + thornbite staff + alter of dimentia/warstorm surge

please ignore sideboard, it's for my own purposes

Please also note that in commander you can not have lands, spells or permanents that have mana symbols on them that dont match the generals color(s). Cards like lingering souls, lands like gavony township and creatures like the m13 land buffed critters would fall under these rules.

Yeah its an odd rule and for a long time Bosh couldnt even be used as a general since he was colorless and had a red activation cost. Im pretty sure they eventually made an exception for him but as far as I know the rule still applies.

each card has a "color id" now, and your chosen commander's color id limits the color id's of the cards you can play. For example in a Thelon of Havenwood deck you could use cards with a color id of black, green, or both (plus artifacts of course) because his color id is black and green. Hope that helps!
