Commander / EDH* Five Color Tribal

Tappyy


This is a deck I decided to build due in large part to my love of mythology in all its forms, as well as the release of new god cards in WAR. After consulting with some people familiar with gold tribal on reddit and other platforms, I decided to try and make a god tribal deck that focused specifically on exactly that-- god tribal. Before, this deck has typically employed various sub-themes such as enchantments to get the deck to function effectively, but this is an attempt to have the tribe stand on its own legs by capitalizing on what all the gods have in common: high-cost, big, legendary creatures with extremely beneficial static effects and which are oftentimes difficult to completely remove.

For the sake of actually formulating the deck, I decided to forego worrying about budget for now. The curve is a little high, but with how high costed all the gods are, it's hard to avoid. Furthermore, a lot of our high cost cards actually aren't that bad, and have mana discounts. Really what this deck comes down to is a value-tempo oriented deck. Its goal is to have lots of cards, be able to play those cards, and to incrementally outvalue your opponents by relying on the god effects and their resiliency in conjunction with board wipes.

I chose to utilize legendary synergy over enchantment synergy for one reason: every god is a legendary creature, but not all the gods are enchantments. I will say this though-- we will no doubt return to Theros, and will surely see some new printings of some fun enchantment gods. When the tribe has enough creatures that we get to pick and choose which gods we want, I have no doubt the enchantment shell will likely be very strong-- probably stronger than this. So hold on to your copies of Greater Auramancy, Academy Rector, and Serra's Sanctum!
