My Doran the siege tower deck! Always been a big G/b player. First I had Savra, queen of the golgari, which morphed into Jarad, Golgari lich lord, toyed with Tasigur and finally landed on Doran for my G/b/x deck. I really like all of the Rock type decks from various other formats and I've had a lot of fun try to squeeze as many of them in here as I could.

It's balanced for both multiplayer and 1v1. General idea is if you get a fast start try to voltron someone down then dig the heels in and recover with stuff like Genesis, Debtor's knell and Teneb, maybe finish people off with a Mirari's wake power Debt to the deathless. I am primarily running g/b/w good stuff but I've thrown some hate bear type cards in as well. There's just so many degenerate 2 card combos in EDH but that are weak by themselves, being able to throw a wrench in the combo or getting a good board presence and sticking Gaddock Teeg and sealing people off of sweepers while you whack away with Doran can be pretty strong. In the same way holding up mana to Eladamari's call, Chord of calling, to grab the appropriate hate card or Dauntless escort if there's a sweeper, ect.

I'd be interested in feedback or how you guys play Junk/Abzhan or Doran. I know Elesh Norn would be an easy include but I hate the praeators and the eldrazi titans and not a lot of my play group has em so the arms race isn't imminently going there.
