Hey! Ok so War Games. Let's see where to start. You make a deck of 60 cards with your leader be your 61st (or 62nd if they have partner). Your deck follows the same color and card restrictions as commander. No cards outside color identity and no more than one copy of any card except basic lands. Your leader can be any legendary creature or planeswalker. This makes a lot of fun deck building options because not only are cards like Elbrus, the Binding Blade  Flip and Orochi Eggwatcher can be your leader even though they're not typically legends by EDH rules. You can also use a bunch of Un-set cards as well! You start a game with 25 life and your leader in the command zone. If your leader is cast from the command zone, then it gets a point on it. When it gets destroyed you may send it to the command zone. If it is, then the next time it is cast it gets a second point. When a leader has 3 points on it, then it can no longer be retuned to the command zone (unless by card effect). In which case it is, it can't be played from their again. Now, while a lot of planeswalkers and legends are legal to play in my format, there are some that are restricted or "banned as commander". A good example is Jace, the Mind Sculptor . He is restricted and therefore can not be used as a leader. However, he can be played in the 60. That about covers it. Any questions you have, I will gladly answer them. So, whatcha think??

Ouroboros_47 on Question about helm of the …

So let's say I equip Helm of the Host to Ormendahl, Profane Prince does helm copy it as the prince or as Westvale Abbey  Flip?

Second is what about a flip card like Shidako, Broodmistress does it copy as the broodmistress or as Orochi Eggwatcher if it was attached while as the broodmistress? What if it was originally on the eggwatcher but the eggwatcher was flipped?

There are two distinct ways the cards can flip. Most have a triggered ability of some sort such as Akki Lavarunner (triggered abilities start with "when", "whenever", or "at"). Some have an activated, like Budoka Gardener, that flips it if something is true at the end of the ability's resolution. Either way both types of abilities go on the stack and can be responded to. The only thing you can't do is try to do something in the middle of the activated ability. Like you can't allow Orochi Eggwatcher's ability to make a token and then try to Chandra's Fury to keep it from flipping.

Yes, Illusionist's Bracers works with Kaseto, when equipped, you can either target two creatures with its ability or target one to give +4/+4. It essentially doubles the amount of times you can activate it in a turn. It also works with Orochi Eggwatcher, Sakura-Tribe Elder, and Sakura-Tribe Scout.

Ohran Viper is a clever snek, if you need more of those.

Honored Hydra is a big snek, if you need more of those.

Orochi Eggwatcher makes many little snek, if you need more of those.

Prowling Serpopard is a resilient snek, if you need more of those.

Skullwinder is a political snek, if you need more of those.

I love the poison counter sub-theme. Very cool deck, sir!

TheKing8426 on Budget EDH - Mono Green Snakes

Womokos, I wouldn't recommend you cutting snakes while keeping the deck mono-green. The weak point of the deck is card draw, which is inherently helped out by the Commander. It is only when you switch the Commander that you need to find card slots to put in more card draw. Blue is the card draw colour, hence the taking out of snakes to play cantrips such as Ponder or Preordain.

If you did want to cut snakes while keeping the deck mono-green, I would say that the weakest ones, in my opinion, are Orochi Eggwatcher or Shisato, Whispering Hunter. However, they still allow you to draw cards while Seshiro is out, so it's debatable whether to take them out or not.

The fun of Commander, to me, is tuning a deck to you and your play style. While I personally think this deck is very good, it is just my take on it; I encourage you to make changes as you see fit!

if you are going for the tokens strategy like Oviya is encouraging, I'd recommend the following changes:

recommended remove:

Chancellor of the Tangle - a single mana turn 1 isn't worth it in the long run

Elvish Mystic - land untappers work better

Fangren Marauder - you won't be destroying too many artifacts

Llanowar Elves - same as the mystic

Orochi Eggwatcher - sacrificing creatures won't get you as far as other cards will

Scorned Villager  Flip - you can have better mana dorks

Ashnod's Altar - unless Helix Pinnacle is your end all be all

Basalt Monolith - its only an instant gain, and you don't have a way to cheat it untapped

Birthing Pod - you don't have a great curve to work with

Krark-Clan Ironworks - you don't have many artifacts, and even with oviya, you net loss mana

Moss Diamond - bad mana dork

Trading Post - you don't have a good way to abuse it

Lure - its not going to do as much as you think

Evolving Wilds - run another Forest

Terramorphic Expanse - same as above

the recommendations:

Voyaging Satyr - untap target Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx

Arbor Elf - when forests give you multiple ...

Bear Umbra - another sword

Sword of the Animist - reliable land fetch

Kodama's Reach - another Cultivate

Green Sun's Zenith - nice tutor

Dryad Arbor - tutor with zenith x=0

Garruk, Primal Hunter - more tokens and card draw

Seedborn Muse - best untapper available

Rude Awakening - would be funny with oviya

The Great Aurora - reset the game

Wave of Vitriol - non creature board wipe

Emerald Medallion - cast for cheaper

Kazandu Tuskcaller - great token maker

Hornet Queen - unstoppable bees

Hydra Broodmaster - monsterous for massive

Decimator of the Provinces - another craterhoof

Ant Queen - cheaper token maker

Druidic Satchel - utility

Primeval Bounty - utility

Omnath, Locus of Mana - store mana

Druids' Repository - store mana

Budoka Gardener - big token maker

Squirrel Nest - synergizes infinitely with the following

Earthcraft - untap and retap for more squirrels

Concordant Crossroads - put your creatures to work

Wolfbriar Elemental - multikick tons of wolves

Terastodon - major removal

Song of the Dryads - universal removal (great on commanders)

Desert Twister - universal removal

Lignify - great for locking a commander

Bellowing Tanglewurm - basically unblockable

Fresh Meat - anti boardwipe

Panglacial Wurm - hilarious to pop out

Nissa's Renewal - ramp and life gain

Rampaging Baloths - landfall for a beast

Akroma's Memorial - great buff

Command Beacon - cheap recast of commander

Ezuri's Predation - boardwipe with an upside

Defense of the Heart - pop out great creatures free

Siege Behemoth - attack through blocks

Primal Command - utility

Courser of Kruphix - lifegain and lands off the top

Oracle of Mul Daya - lands off the top

Mirri's Guile - fix topdecks

Cryptolith Rite - creatures to mana dorks

Wolfcaller's Howl - multiplayer wolves

Arachnogenesis - anti-attack token maker

Hall of Gemstone - anti multicolor

Sylvan Library - better Mirri's Guile

Thought Vessel - great mana rock

while many of these cards may not be budget minded, they are cards to strive for both for future iterations of this deck and other green based decks you make.
