Trying to get into EDH
Commander (EDH) forum
Posted on Dec. 24, 2016, 11:40 a.m. by KB2187
Hey all,
I've decided that I don't play serious enough to be competitive in Standard so I've decided to shift into EDH. Is there any recommendations on where to look for decklists? I'm probably going to get into Atraxa Superfriends or Infect or Prison because why not. :) Any places to look for quality lists?

Ditto, ditto, ditto, and ditto.
Literally, all of what has been said.
In addition, feel free to use the staple lists found on my profile's about me to add generally good cards to your deck(s) (Once you start building, you won't be able to stop lol).

Magical hacker's not lying. Literally cant stop building jank/spike/group slug (i at one point managed to phrase damage abilities as damage on the stack. Thanks commander). But yes, edhrec mtgsalvation and here are all good places to look. If you need help, feel free to start a thread. Other than that, find a commander you like or would like to develop and have fun.

I've managed to get Norin the Wary to block... edh is a blast for brewers. edhrec is great for figuring out how/what to build but a precon is a great starting point and have a good amount of staples for upgrading/ building other decks.

I've got a nice bit of EDH legal decks that you might take to your liking

I'm confused, you don't play competitively but you wanna play Atraxa Superfriends or Infect or Prison? These + stax / slivers / pure control are probably the most hated decks in EDH...
If you're gonna get into EHD, make sure to find out how your meta plays 1st b4 you start building decks....some are totally casual, some semi-competitive...some super-spike-ish competitive....

I agree with joshuaizac. Those play styles are not exactly the most popular at the table. I had a superfriends deck that spammed extra turns, but it just wasn't fun for anybody else. The same with Stax. I don't have a problem with infect, but there are many who view it as a cheap tactic.
If you're just getting into it, another good way is to buy one of the precon decks (especially if you're on a budget) and start upgrading it from there.
Just a warning...EDH is the most addictive format in Magic!!! Have fun!!!

edhrec.com for sure
There are far more than 100 cards listed under each commander; so find what fits your style and budget.
1 legend/general/commander in the command zone, a 99 card singleton deck. Go for 36-40 land, a handful of ramp, and as much draw power as possible. Average cmc should be close to ~3 for 1v1, and no higher than 5 in my opinion
