This is a competitive multiplayer EDH deck. It can be used in a two-headed giant games as well as in free-for-all games.

The deck is designed to be as fast as possible, therefore there is a high number of small, one-mana creatures, part of them being here for mana acceleration purposes, the other part for distributing the damage. The other part is usually hard to block.

The game plan is pretty simple. When playing this deck, one wants to flood the board as much as possible with small and hard to block creatures, such as Flying Men , Gudul Lurker, Merfolk Spy and so on. When there are enough creatures on the board, it is time to play their lord, Edric, Spymaster of Trest thanks to whom the hand is refilled and the board may be flooded even more.

Even though those small creatures are nice, it takes too long to bite the opponent to his or her death. That is the reason why there is included a considerable number of additional turn effects, such as those represented by Temporal Mastery , Time Warp and so on. Thanks to those effects, we can draw even more cards and with some luck chain 2-3 additional turns together, which is usually enough to kill almost all of our opponents.

Hand by hand with the aggro part of this deck there is the control part. Counter magic is not effective against this deck. However, board wipes and targeted removal on Edric is painful and slows the deck down. Because of that, there is included a considerable amount of counter magic of our own, such as those represented by Delay , Counterspell, Daze, Force of Will, Foil and Misdirection, the last four being the most important, as they can be cast without using mana, thus allowing us to use all of the mana resources on the aggro part.

As already mentioned above, Edric, Spymaster of Trest is the key card for this deck. As counter magic may not be enough to protect him, additional ways of protection and re-cast are included. There is Sylvan Safekeeper to protects him and Reclaim, Regrowth and so on to make it possible to cast him as cheap as possible.

Combos & Synergies:

• Time Warp/other additional turn effects + Regrowth/Reclaim/Eternal Witness/Noxious Revival - even more additional turns

• Druids' Repository + creatures - absolutely ridiculous plays. From now on, everything is possible (very few creatures cost more than 1 mana which results in plenty of spare mana to use on counter magic, time walk effects and so on).

• kicked Rite of Replication on Eternal Witness - getting back time walk card + the Rite of Replication itself meaning an infinite turn lock. This is not a problematic combo to do with the Druids' Repository.

Reasons to play this deck:

• Relatively political general - in free-for-all games, your opponents will gladly draw cards from their attacks, therefore they will not attack you. In two-headed giant game, you are helping your teammate a lot with Edric's effect.

• Relatively cheap deck - without cards like Force of Will that are not essential this deck can be considered as a budget deck

• You like aggro-control decks

• You get to play cards like Scryb Sprites or Joven's Ferrets and you can actually kill your opponents with them

• You like drawing a lot of cards

• You like additional turns

Reasons not to play this deck:

• You do not like relying on your general

• You do not like aggro-control decks

• You do not want to draw cards or taking additional turns

• You do not like elves

NOTE: Cards in the maybe board are on the wish list.

As always, I am eager to hear your suggestions, comments and criticism. If you have any questions about this deck, do not hesitate to write them in the comment section below. If you like the deck, do not forget do give it +1!
