Edric, Spymaster of Trest EDH

Commander / EDH

Rychuuuuu


This Edric build is a lot of fun, it has a few sub-themes (elves/tokens) and often ends up going nuclear via Gaea's Cradle unless your opponents have more than one board wipe handy.

There are a few tricks but for the most part this deck is straightforward: play creatures, utilize their ETB or static abilities, and most importantly...attack! A build with more low mana cost creatures would probably be more competitive but watching things get out of control with Mycoloth, Genesis Wave, Parallel Lives, Praetor's Counsel, Rude Awakening, etc is too much fun.

Don't forget Edric isn't just a draw spell (and an elf) but also a bargaining chip. Your opponents may be encouraged to let him survive and attack your other opponents if they need card draw, and there are some recurring bounce sources to make sure that Edric not only survives removal but that YOU are in control of whether your opponents draw cards. A Tradewind Rider, Erratic Portal or Waterfront Bouncer puts you in the driver's seat, so to speak.
