Orzhov Flickering
Commander Deck Help forum
Posted on July 9, 2015, 8:46 p.m. by babygurl815
Hello! I am not new to building EDH decks, but I have only been playing MTG for a little over a year. That being said, I'm always looking for suggestions!
I could use suggestions for my deck Orzhov Flickering. The goal is to use the flicker abilities to bounce my creatures in and out of exile, and taking advantage of their "when this creature enters the battlefield" effects.
I can also use the exiling abilities to clear my opponents' boards, destroy their creatures, and I even have a little bit of life gain/life drain going on. There is also a bit of grave-digging.
Please feel free to offer up card suggestions or strategy suggestions! I'm also a huge fan of combos! Thanks!
You tell I would recommend that everybody go through the process allowing your body to become fat adapter in and so that is the process getting your body into state key to assess and then at that point you lies in carbbackloading and written fasting or not to you arm have a pragmatic approach that fits into MaxGenics Growth Fuel lifestyle are with the key to genie can have are theory and ideology yep dude that's awesome so we're just about out a time before we go what you tell folks where they can find you what you're up to and a little bit about what you do I think it's really cool sure so I Im in Austin Texas I am a venture capitalists I helped found a venture capital fund herein Austin last march .For information presentation topics --> > >> http://supplementscenterup.com/

Drerykhan: Why u sound like spam tho?
Anyway OP, I would actually recommend switching your commander to Triad of Fates. It's kinda slow, but even it's better than Ghost Council. The 2 life drain from one opponent is next to useless in commander, and at least this way you'll have a commander that can blink your ETB creatures and remove problems when you have no other way of dealing with them. Also you can exile creatures you don't need anymore to draw cards. Some good enablers to speed up Triad are Lightning Greaves, Swiftfoot Boots, Illusionist's Bracers, and Thousand-Year Elixir.
Alternatively, you could switch to the powerhouse of blink that is Brago, King Eternal, but that would require you to switch colors.

sonnet666 I had originally planned on having Triad of Fates as my commander, but it is slow and that is my concern. I often play in big groups, 3-6 players, sometimes more, so having a faster deck is the best way to win and get ahead of the game. I suppose I could always just put Ghost Council IN the deck instead of holding the commander position...And as for Brago, I'd hate to switch colors when white and black has some great flickering stuff.
Thanks for the suggestions!

I don't think you realize how useless draining 2 life from an opponent on your upkeep is. I wouldn't put Ghost Council anywhere near your commander deck. (Like, seriously, even having it on the table might bring you bad luck.)
Problem is, there aren't that many good commanders for white/black. Teysa, Orzhov Scion and Vish Kal, Blood Arbiter are two of the best and the rest aren't that great. Triad is the only one that's going to interact positively with blink.
You could consider adding a color. If you added blue Dromar, the Banisher would make an interesting commander, as you would negate one of the his typical drawbacks by playing creatures where you don't mind if they're bounced back to your hand. If not, Sharuum the Hegemon has a great ETB effect.

Got to second sonnet666 here. Ghost Council just isn't going to do much of anything. Sure, it fits the theme... but you'll get a lot more value out of Triad of Fates than you would from the Ghost Council. Sure it's slow, but it can be targeted at the biggest threats on the board or the things you most want flickered.
And yeah, Sharuum would be nice too!

just in my experience Orzhov is really good for life drain. Comrade is right the Ghost council really isn't a great card.

Oh yeah, it's amazing for life drain. Extort just gets better with more opponents.

Also with Triad you can mess around with fate counters by blinking an Eye of Doom. Also Oblivion Stone, but that's $$$.

The other reason I didn't like Triad so much was that I was using up quite of bit of space for artifacts that would untap it. Maybe you're right, sonnet666, I should add a color...Blue is probably best for what I have in mind.
Thanks for the suggestions!

Ashen Rider and Angel of Despair, great for flicker.
