Sneak and Show in EDH

Commander (EDH) forum

Posted on Oct. 27, 2022, 11:51 a.m. by Mr-White

Hey,

I wanna turn my Sneak and show deck (Sneak Attack and Show and Tell) into an edh deck and I'm looking for ideas for the commander (doesn't matter if it's parter or background or normal commander)

And yes I'm aware that Griselbrand and Emrakul, the Aeons Torn are banned in edh.

Braids, Conjurer Adept is Show and Tell on a stick, but as far as Izzet and Izzet-including identities, Esika, God of the Tree  Flip, Illuna, Apex of Wishes, Intet, the Dreamer, Jhoira of the Ghitu, Neera, Wild Mage, Sedris, the Traitor King, and The Ur-Dragon seem like the best options.

As an exercise I like to pick commanders that are, at best, modestly related to what you’re building. You can find some wild interactions that way! I would consider something like Nekusar, the Mindrazer. The benefit of additional card draw will help give you additional creatures to Donkey-Kong-style fire down on your enemies. Beyond that, though, there may be some fun black creatures (and other spells!) that you might really enjoy putting into the mix. I know, you’re giving your opponents some additional gas, and that can be bad, but I would ask that you at least consider some of those other opportunities! The idea of putting nekusar on the table and then sneak attacking stuff out of left field seems great to me.
