Maybeboard


Mardu Aristocrats EDH deck with Alesha, Who Smiles at Death in the Command Zone.

A mostly combo deck due to the multiplayer nature of EDH, though it can fall back on just turning creatures sideways in a pinch.

Maybeboard is all cards I either have previously included or have not tried personally but think would be good; it could and really should be a lot longer but I just don't have the time and budget to do it.

The deck is intentionally creature heavy, especially for token production and sacrifice effects, because I like being able to get them back with Alesha and the potential for other reanimation effects to have more potential hits should they be added, instead of for example Krenko's Command and the like. A more non-creature spell heavy variant is certainly possible and I'm even trying it out in Jeskai under Kykar, Wind's Fury with many of the non-Black cards from this list, but I prefer the non-creature spells to more often be effects not conveniently available on creatures.

Budget alternatives to the more expensive cards include more Basic Lands, Pain Lands, and the Mardu tri-land for the fetches and shocks and of course Urborg; Diabolic Tutor (or just no tutor) for Diabolic Intent; just running more token producing creatures like Doomed Dissenter in place of cards like Stoneforge Mystic and Bitterblossom; and the various cheap boardwipes like Blasphemous Act and Day of Judgement instead of Wrath and Damnation.
