Who is the commander? Do you know? Is it Lathliss, Dragon Queen

Most likely will be cutting some cards here soon and here's what I'll be adding:

Cut- Dragonborn Champion Dromoka, the Eternal Iymrith, Desert Doom Silumgar, the Drifting Death

Add- Lathliss, Dragon Queen Ancient Silver Dragon Goldspan Dragon Zurgo and Ojutai

Once I officially have all 4 I'll add them in at the same time.

TypicalTimmy on EDH - Kill 1 opponent …

For me, it depends on several factors.

One being what deck am I playing. I have (or rather, has) some decks that excelled at focused damage to drop a body asap. So all damage relentlessly went toward one opponent, who was chosen based on their Commander - e.g. the biggest potential of being a threat. Such as Edgar Markov. This is how my Lathliss, Dragon Queen deck would win.

Other decks, it makes more sense to literally "do nothing" and quietly piece out a winning combo and overrun the boardstate within a single turn. My old Ghired, Conclave Exile deck was able to do that quite effectively.

Other times, a deck played best via threat assessment; What was the most problematic boardstate, and how can I disrupt it? A prime example of this would have been my really old Mogis, God of Slaughter deck in which it was mostly just spot removal. Rakdos excels in creature removal, red has artifact and land removal, black has wraths and discarding. Then Mogis has indestructible and just sits there grinding down the game. A war of attrition, truly.

Then again sometimes the goal isn't to win but to just have fun. My Karametra, God of Harvests deck is a prime example. It was essentially Soul Sisters turned EDH and it's "wincon" was combat damage by overrunning the boardstate with a bagillion 1/1 tokens. But even if I had 647 power online ready to attack and 838 life, I wouldn't. Because at that point all three opponents would very obviously be seeing me as the biggest threat and it became a game of Archenemy. And the fun there is watching all three of them try to take me down, and fail. And when it finally did happen, we all had a blast.

Sometimes I build a deck just to let my inner Timmy take hold. That's my Miirym, Sentinel Wyrm deck. Can it win? Yes easily. Does it always win? No. Is it fun to play, even if I am losing? Absolutely.

So really, the "way" I play largely is determined by which deck I am currently using. That being said, sometimes there is a clear asshole player who needs to be put in their place. I've had experiences where I've been the sole focus for assault by a single player for several games in a row. So when I finally have the upper hand, I'll take what I can get and throw everything I've got at them. And of course, they'll bitch and moan and cry and throw a temper tantrum about it all, citing how it isn't fair that there are three opponents and I only attacked him. Well yeah, you have three opponents and I'm the only one you targeted for the past three games. So shut the fuck up, buttercup.

I would wager that while the way Command Zone / Game Knights plays is how most players would want it as their ideal, largely most players do not play this way. I am willing to bet that MOST tables don't play with politics in mind, making deals and crafting plans. I would wager MOST tables sit down with random players at an LGS or a college campus and take what they can get, which means you aren't all friends and don't know each other's experiences. And even if you do, Jimmy and James have decades of entertainment experience between them, whereas we do not. So the showboating and glamor and humor likely just isn't there. And with that, I highly doubt much focus is put on "OMG guys we REALLY need to get rid of XYZ! Okay, if someone lets me resolve this, then that can allow someone else to do this. I won't attack anyone for a turn but we need to stop XYZ or it's game over!"

No. Most of the time it's going to be: "Damn that sucks. Not my problem though. At most he can deal 13 damage and you're at 8 and I'm at 30. Good luck."

We may not actively want to see other players lose, but I bet we also don't actively try to stop it, either.

TLDR - Depends on the deck and if someone has been an outstanding asshole or not.

crismissingtheh I really like your deck! The play group that I'm in only plays at high power so thats where I'm trying to keep the deck at but I really appreciate it! I also appreciate that you follow my deck. I'm still waiting for the "all magic dragon combo." The only one ive found is Cloudstone Curio + Lathliss, Dragon Queen + Ganax, Astral Hunter + Slumbering Dragon + Scourge of Valkas//Terror of the Peaks but at that point I should just play a different commander that could achieve that faster. I think once they eventually (hopefully) make dragons that combo off of each other for infinite damage then ill switch over to that.

I would make a legendary creature for Shivan Dragon, but unfortunately the thing that makes her so memorable is her firebreathing ability, which Lathliss, Dragon Queen also happens to have as a global effect. So what I would have done for Shivan, actually already exists. :/

So since the option for wild exists, I'll be taking that <3

Alex Murphy {2}{W}{W}

Legendary Creature - Human Soldier

Vigilance

Alex Murphy can block up to two additional creatures each turn.

When Alex Murphy is destroyed by combat damage, you may pay {2}{U}{R}. If you do, return him to the battlefield transformed.

4/5

Robocop

{UR} Legendary Artifact Creature - Human Construct

First strike, vigilance, ward {2}

You may pay {0} rather than the equip cost of equipment you control when attaching to Robocop. Use this ability only once during each of your turns.

Whenever Robocop attacks, you may discard a card. If you do, target creature defending player controls must block it this turn if able. If Robocop destroys that creature this turn, draw two cards.

5/6

Okay so as a Magic card, I think it's kind of hot garbage. But, as a Vorthos card, I think it fits the characters of Alex Murphy and Robocop quite well.

So that's the next challenge. Don't worry if the card itself feels unbalanced or nonsensical. Your challenge is to take a hero from an old book or movie (let's say at least 10 years old) and make them a legendary creature. The card should feel like it represents them quite well, even if it isn't really "balanced" as a Magic card.

I love the Devour idea. That's great!

Lathliss, Dragon Queen, Haunting Voyage, Rivaz of the Claw, Door of Destinies and Vanquisher's Banner also immediately come to mind.

Have you thought about Lathliss, Dragon Queen? She seems like a good bit of value.

Do you find that you have a high enough density of dragons? If you are looking for more, I recommend Moonveil Dragon, and if you want some more removal + discard in a dragon package, what about Malfegor?

Hello!

If you put * CMDR * (no spaces between the asterisks and the word) next to the card you want to be your commander it will pop up as the commander on the list. Also, make sure to use edhrec.com and put in your commander on the searchbar to help build your commander deck!

If this is a tribal oriented deck, reccomend having a few (but not too many) tribal cards like Herald's Horn or Dragonspeaker Shaman to reduce the cost on Dragons. Belbe's Portal is also a nice card to summon them for cheap.

Scourge of Valkas and Dragon Tempest deal damage the more dragons you have on the field, and the latter also gives haste which is amazing. There are also many dragons that benefit from having dragons or spawn a lot more like Lathliss, Dragon Queen or Utvara Hellkite

Very important, remember to have a good amount of card draw (Dragon's Hoard is good for dragon decks) and a good amount of ramp (ramp spells and signets)

Here is the EDHREC link for Miirym, hope this helps!
