This is my first commander deck. It was built from mainly cards that I had from pauper and standard decks from Eldritch Moon upwards. Other cards were just pulls from random pack openings. Basically, my card pool is not great and my budget for buying new singles is even less. My gameplan is kind of all over the place here, but mostly I try to close out games with a big Torment of Hailfire or Exsanguinate, and I think that is the road I want to ultimately go here. Well either that or storm, but I hear storm is pretty tough to pull off on a low budget.
