Custom EDH Commanders
Social forum
Posted on Jan. 8, 2017, 7:19 p.m. by Kodiak1137
My local playgroup has been brainstorming and creating custom niche, or personal Generals for EDH. This is a cool way to see other people's interpretation of Magic, so i'd like to create a thread devoted to the creation, sharing, and discussion of that.
A good tool is mtgcardsmith.com. Please share and discuss!
Here is mine
My magic is all about creatures. I believe that the strongest should survive and destroy the weak. But my magic also recognizes that there is a duality to the nature of that. The strong are stronger when they are unified. And the weak are weaker when they are squandered, obviously. Be independent and willing enough to put yourself above others, but in return, your strength will benefit you and your community. is the best representation of that philosophy, and that's what my commander aim to achieves.

I like this idea...but if anyone can help me strike that node of genius, I can get to work.
What am I looking for? A legendary creature centered around creativity, and the playstyle forces you to be creative, each game being different every time. is a must, as it is my belief that exploration is tied to creativity in some ways.

When NAME enters the battlefield, roll a 6 sided die:
1: tutor a creature
2: tutor a sorcery
3: tutor an instant
4: tutor an artifact
5: tutor a planeswalker
6: tutor a land
P/T
If it's not improvisational enough for you, just replace tutor with "reveal until you hit."
Hope this helps!

Phaetion is the best color for growth and innovation, but if you wanted to add more ferocity and heavy impact effects is fun to play. Now that i think about it, cascade is a fun effect in those colors that makes for interesting play.

Dredge4life: Awesome! And I will add the "reveal until you hit" clause for some added chaos. Will get to building right now. Thank you so much!
KodiakRising: I always thought my ideas would lead me to Temur. And by saying that, it's reminding me of a card that already exists (Namely, Intet, the Dreamer and Maelstrom Wanderer. I would want to go about some creative builds with these two).
I'll take both ideas: The first one for purposes of this thread and the other for my actual deck (may need some guidance though).

Dredge4life: I created the card but I ran into textbox issues, so I was forced to change it.
EDIT: Oops, I left "during your turn" off the card.

At long last, here's the deck.
My apologies if I seemed to be spamming the thread but it's all done now. I deviated from the original card in a few ways but it fits the mold as to what I want to do, even in a real EDH game (barring all the goodstuff). I hope you guys enjoy it.
Now, to going about the real thing. Hmmm...

This is a very cool idea.
