I started playing EDH in 2011 and am an active participant in the Chicago EDH scene. Building unique decks and supporting the philosophy that "fun > winning" are important to me. As the format becomes more popular and decks become more powerful, I try to advocate for janky/weird/aesthetic/experimental styles. These decks are the most fun and interesting, but I fear they are slowly being edged out of many playgroups. Feel free to leave a message on my wall if you want to talk EDH philosophy or receive deck advice!

Hey, I was hoping I could get you to take a look at a newer deck I've built and another from Fallout that's still in crafting mode to see if you have any suggestions or feedback. If not, no worries but any and all help would be appreciated.

Dopplegang Bangers - Historic Flash Convoke Copies

My 1st historic each turn has convoke and gets a non-legendary copy from the commanders. I'm trying to flash convoke on everyone's turn and copy my historic spells/tokens multiple times. Parallel Lives effects don't work here though.

"Wake Up, Wasteland! It's Me, Three Dog!".

3 Dog sacs an aura on attack and creates a copy for everyone else that's attacking. I have several cantrip auras for card draw, ways to get the sac'ed aura back, some creatures to support/carry those aura copies, and just some gross auras to go wide with.

I agree with austintayshus and recommend these mana rocks since they allow you to get Oloro out on turn 4: Coalition Relic, Component Pouch, Worn Powerstone, Palladium Myr

It's not a bad list at all, but if you want to go with vampires plus lifegain subtheme there are better choices of commanders (Astarion, the Decadent, Amalia Benavides Aguirre, Vona, Butcher of Magan, Elenda, the Dusk Rose, and Carmen, Cruel Skymarcher are solid options. There are tons of other good options too).

If you're heart-set on Athreos, I would drop the vampire/lifegain themes and go with creatures that have sac effects (e.g. Westfold Rider, Cathar Commando, Bounty Agent, Priest of Fell Rites, Stronghold Assassin, Necrotic Sliver, Burnished Hart, Dauthi Voidwalker) plus cards with reanimation abilities (e.g. Bishop of Rebirth, Celestine, the Living Saint, Custodi Soulcaller, Redemption Choir, Sun Titan, Carmen, Cruel Skymarcher, Athreos, Shroud-Veiled, Breathkeeper Seraph, Court of Ardenvale, Gift of Immortality).
