Very fun and competitive commander deck with Edric and his little spies! The main goal is to get Edric out as early as possible (turn 2 is ideal) and start drawing massive amounts of cards. Eventually, you will have one of your win cons pop up, Notorious Throng, Beastmaster Ascension, Triumph of the Hordes, or Craterhoof Behemoth. Notorious Throng is great because there are several "rogues" in the deck that will be dealing damage and giving us extra turns. Follow up on your extra turn with Beastmaster Ascension, Triumph of the Hordes, or a Craterhoof to finish out the game with all of those extra faeries from Notorious Throng.

This deck is very sneaky at first as Edric can be seen a sort of "group hug" commander. He keeps attacks from you because of peoples greed on drawing cards and allows everyone to draw cards, not just you. While we are drawing cards we are gathering more of Edric's small spies and counter spells to stop board wipes. There is a control package in this deck to stop everyone from hitting our little guys before they become big guys. There is some hate on big creatures in the form of Meekstone as well.

Would definitely love to hear any ideas on how to improve this deck!
