Medomai the Ageless;Uncovering Secrets of Sphinx

Commander / EDH

biogon


Sideboard

Medomai the ageless deck with a Sphinx theme to it. On top of the sphinx creatures, I wanted to get the feeling of Sphinx eternal life and all knowing power, so we have a lot of scry effects (like Dig Through Time and Fact or Fiction ) and eternal life effects ( like Elixir of Immortality, Gift of Immortality and Fool's Demise).

The object is to cast Medomai, keep it living, and get as many extra turns off of it as possible. My playgroup isn't a fan of Big extra turn cards due to how they can be abused, but the inbuilt restrictions of Medomai make it okay. Of course, that doesn't mean we can't attempt to abuse it with double strike enablers like Grappling Hook, Battle Mastery and True Conviction. On top of this we want to make Medomai unblockable so as to get as many extra turns as possible.

There's a subtheme of Auras in the deck, but most of them are safeties and unblockable. Umbra Mystic keeps our creatures alive longer with extra lives, while Retether can pull back buffs, as well as things like Faith's Fetters and Darksteel Mutation.

Testing out

  • Akroma Memorial provides us with pro red and black, as well as a whole bunch of strengths. Wanting to see how this plays out
  • Stolen Identity strapped on a medomai can provide us with huge advantage, especially replicating swords or sphinx.
  • Strionic Resonator to copy medomai's triggered ability
  • Assault Suit on Medomai will allow greedy players to use it it; of course they get an extra turn but the commander damage count can really stack.
