Commander Deck Help forum

I built my first EDH deck based around Sidisi, Brood Tyrant. Most of the cards I used aren't very good so I need some suggestions that would be suitable for my deck but not expensive.http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/04-06-15-sultai-edh/

So the link isn't working because there is no longer a deck page..

Anyways the easiest way to win with Sultai is thusly:

Deadeye Navigator + Eternal Witness + Time Warp . The rest of your deck can be almost nothing but counter spells and some decent blockers. Aside from those 3 cards (By the way, there are several variants of Time Warp that are identical or barely different) I suggest a Solemn Simulacrum because he's always at least decent in Commander, if not great.

Just try and pick up a lot of counters, at least 6. I prefer to play with exactly 7 counters in BUG. Just enough to stop the things that stop me from doing what I want to do whether it's countering an Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite that'll kill my tokens/creatures or a Mana Echoes vs goblin combo.

Dissipate
Dissolve
Cancel
Counterspell (Actually very cheap, and the best ever printed)
Cryptic Command (Very expensive so it's fine to skip)
Undermine
Negate
Remove Soul
Nullify
Spell Crumple

And the best draw card for Green in EDH: Harmonize

Cantrips are helpfull to:
Ponder
Preordain
Gitaxian Probe
Shadow of Doubt (All star, nearly everyone in EDH uses tutors. This can really save your bacon mid/late game especially. Also ruins a fetchland of the opponents but that's usually not as important as stopping a tutor off of Demonic Tutor midgame or later.)

The rest of your deck can be beat down, control, prison or a bunch of other combos. Just make sure to preserve the extra turn combo above all else and you should be able to win vs nearly anything. Sultai is what I like to call "Established Jank" because in a 60 card deck the commandery combos are to slow but they are proven many times over in EDH.

You can check my deck out for ideas. EDH Sidisi Zombie Animate Its a pretty fun deck that relies on sidisi's ability to generate tokens. There's lots of self milling to produce tokens and lots of ways to reanimate the creatures that you put in your graveyard. Alot of the zombie creatures in the deck will help beef up the zombie tokens as well.
