DreadKhan on Edh options

He's not heavily played, but Kresh the Bloodbraided can do some absolutely nutso things when he's big enough, and the deck often has some control elements (especially vs creatures, the deck wants to kill off everything but Kresh typically). It can be built on a budget (for Casual play) or as a High Power deck. On a budget you run all of the Merciless Executioner effects you can find, and at higher power you'll still run a bunch of them, but you'll also have Dictate of Erebos effects. Rite of the Raging Storm by itself turns Kresh into a huge body, and it's easy to include lots of Flings/Chandra's Ignition/Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord to win, but you can also use stuff like Mandate of Abaddon to wipe the board and one-shot someone, there are a TON of cards that play very well with Kresh, and people probably aren't familiar with the deck at this point.

Another option might be Azorius Control, Azorius is a great pair for wipes, removal and countermagic, meaning you can deal with problems, both for yourself as well as the table. I guess you might go something like Shorikai, Genesis Engine and play any vehicles that don't suck? You can freely wipe your pilots without risking your vehicles, even without things like Teferi's Protection. The card draw Shorikai offers can really help you dig, and it synergizes with untap effects.

My final idea would be something like Sauron, the Dark Lord, Grixis gives you a lot of control options, and Sauron makes you a big honking army very readily, and fwiw you can make an evasive Changeling (like Changeling Outcast) your Army in place of a token. Grixis struggles a bit vs certain types of permanents, but you can certainly pressure people and have input as to what stays around.

Oh yeah, just thought of a bad idea I've never gotten around to testing, but you might be able to build Optimus Prime, Hero  ^Flip with all the Jeskai wipes you can find? Optimus can 'survive' a wipe, so as long as you can give him Haste somehow you can swing each turn vs a cleared board, wiping whenever anyone gets anything relevant out. Would it be obnoxious? Incredibly so. But I think it could work, especially since you have Red for various good Haste sources. You probably need lots of things to protect Optimus from Swords effects, including a smattering of Blue counters that are either free or cost {U} so you can hold them up.

Taking a look at other people's ideas, I support Karazikar and Breena, both seem like great fits!

HahaStax on Ball Lightning EDH

I learned with Ball Lightning Tribal you run out of gas and blockers very quick and changing the commander to a clunky Sek'kuar is not an option. I see you already got Feldon in there - another good option to have a blocker in instant speed is MImic Vat. If you decide to add it - switch out your Grim Haruspex for a Morbid Opportunist to keep the card draw flowing. There's also Golgari Germination and Blight Mound which are harder to remove than your usual Pawn of Ulamog. I see you are missing Kresh the Bloodbraided and also a very good wincon in every Oreo deck which is Chandra's Ignition. All hail to the great Mr. Oreo!

Shorketh on $20 Sack of Elementals

Even though it might not be on theme, Heirloom Blade is really good for damage boosts and putting more elementals into your hand; it just kind of just goes with any creature deck but especially if you're having to put a ton of fast-dying and cheap creatures out. A Chandra's Ignition -though a bit pricey- is also a good combo with a Nova Chaser, but I can see this deck falling apart a bit against burn spells.

carpecanum on Tajic, legion's edge or Stormwild …

1 year ago

I had Tajic, Legion's Edge and the Stormwild Capridor on the field. I cast Chandra's Ignition on Tajic to cause 3 damage to creatures and players. Can I choose to stack triggers so that the Stormwild Capridor prevents the damage (and thus gains 3 counters) instead of having Tajic prevent the damage?

Zada, Hedron Grinder Mirrorwing Dragon Balefire Liege and Chandra's Ignition are all awesome in feather. Really fun deck.

anewman421 on WHEN I COUNT, YOU DIE!

Hello, I actually had it in the deck before adding Chandra's Ignition. Ultimately, I opted for the choice that didn't kill Vigor. However, I could get 13 direct damage with Shalai and Hallar ability while buffing her and entering combat for 16 CMDR damage. I think I'm about to overhaul this deck pretty soon. There's a good possibility it finds its way back into it. :)

DreadKhan on You'll have to toss me! (Don't Tell the Elf)

Have you thought about Neyith of the Dire Hunt and Rionya, Fire Dancer for this? Since you often have big creatures there is Chandra's Ignition, and Windswift Slice manages to be the world's biggest flavor fail and win at the same time, at least nobody will miss those elves when you sacrifice them! Two-Handed Axe might fit (and it's a big ax!), Inquisitor's Flail is unfortunately not an ax but is also very good if Gimli has high toughness.

I'm not sure how big your tallest creatures end up, but Monstrous Onslaught is very good with an excessively big creature.

Cool deck!
