Best “Opps all creatures” commander?
Commander (EDH) forum
Posted on Oct. 27, 2018, 6:38 p.m. by pizzagod13
Hello, I am looking for help on deciding a budget ($150ish) commander deck that plays Primal Surge, lands and then only creatures. I could expand it to enchantments and such but what would be the fun in that?
Anyway I have a few commanders that I am considering and would like suggestions on which one to go with or a alternative commander. Please give exaplnations if possible.
-
Animar, Soul of Elements (susceptible to removal?)
-
Momir Vig Simic Visonary (edit 1)
Edit 1: For whatever reason tappedout keeps moving the , over which links to a deck instead. Thus I removed the link altogether, sorry for the inconvenience.

Yup that’s why I didn’t want to go with Animar. Samut seems interesting since haste means I can just put my deck into play and swing. Surrak on the other hand lets me Labratory Maniac. Prolly will go with samut been wanting to do stuff with her. But if anyone has any reasons against this let me know.

Mine is Ruric Thar, the Unbowed. Does really well. :)

I’d go with Samut since she lets you basically threaten lethal every turn she’s out as long as Craterhoof Behemoth is in your deck. She also gives you access to Archangel Avacyn
Flip, Selfless Spirit, and Dauntless Escort to protect your board from wraths.

I could also always go all permanents instead. Would give me more options without hurting the overall game plan but that would be a bit less interesting. Will have to do some brewing I suppose.

Thinking about it more, I don’t think there are many enchantments/artifacts I want anyway. The main thing I am thinking about is Which commander. Samut gives everyone haste but uncounterablity is also nice. Hmmm

Here is my old list: Gruul Smash EDH
Definitely been some changes, but I don't have it updated on here.
And for something different if you're okay with all permanents: Sliver EDH

Alright, Thank You everyone. I have decided on Samut. I threw together a deck list. I would post it here but I am pretty sure that is a no-no for whatever reason.
I played a game against 3 other random decks I found on tapped out in the same price range and the haste was super nice.
One problem I have however, is that I have little red and white cards. Is this a problem? If you know any good ones to add let me know. Otherwise, I will probably just look for big dragons and what not.

A couple of suggestions:
Thalia, Guardian of Thraben
Thalia, Heretic Cathar
Aven Mindcensor
(All of those are good against some of the more obnoxious combo decks in EDH)
Brutalizer Exarch
Protean Hulk
Imperial Recruiter
Recruiter of the Guard
Woodland Bellower
From there I would go with any creatures you can find which give optional card draw (don't want to overdraw when you surge) to help you draw into surge asap. Good luck friend!

Don’t forget Tajuru Preserver and Selfless Spirit. Odric, Lunarch Marshal would be a solid addition to either Naya commander. I’m assuming you plan on hitting a combo in dropping your deck onto the board? Craterhoof Behemoth and the likes...gotta basically end the game that turn. Platinum Angel will save you from getting mill-killed.

My friend's animar deck is super op, and the protection line is one that we joke about a lot (why couldn't they give it flavor text instead?). That said im sure it would still be op without noncreature spells. If you don't want to be mean I know someone with an all slivers deck with the tutor sliver at the helm.

Animar is going to paint a big target on your head. I'd go with Samut or Surrak. Both of them would be good, just depends on the colors you want.
