New Commander! —March 12, 2014

So, until I get Rafiq of the Many (next week) I'm gonna use [[Roon of the Hidden Realm and focus on ETB effects for the most part, with plenty of removal along the way.

I don't know how I feel about Venser, the Sojourner in a Daxos deck. Even if he's there to give Daxos unblockable, there are better choices like Thassa, God of the Sea or Steel of the Godhead . And since you're wanting to hit people with Daxos, why not run Bident of Thassa to let you draw cards from your deck at the same time?

All in all, it looks like a good start to a nasty Daxos deck. Good luck!

I do like the control elements of this deck. Put all the swords in the deck if you have access to them as well as some other equipment to boost his power/toughness. Also, Sunbond works really well on Daxos, as it combos with his ability.

Thanks so much! Yeah, Venser is really only here to bounce around some of my enchantments that hold things back, like Detention Sphere . For example, my opponent played Xenagos, God of Revels who is indestructible, so to adapt, I bounced my sphere from a Kalonian Hydra an onto Xenagos so that I could Supreme Verdict present threats. Other than that, Venser is my favorite walker haha so it's more of a preference. Thassa, God of the Sea is awesome and would work perfectly, but I don't think she's worth the money at the moment, with Daxos having a small amount of stock evasion. Steel of the Godhead is definitely on the grocery list

jineur I apologize, but what combo would you be meaning?

When Daxos of Meletis deals combat damage, you exile the top card of that player's library and gain life equal to its converted mana cost, so if you have Sunbond enchanted on Daxos when you gain life, Daxos gets that many +1/+1 counters.

Wow, I completely forgot about the converted mana cost part, I apologize! And yes, I do like how Sunbond works with him! Good catch.

Glad to see someone else playing Daxos as a commander.

I have had Daxos EDH for about 5 months, since came out in Theros. My experience with him say that I should not rely just on him. I don't know your meta, but at least in my, there are so many ways how they are able to get rid of Daxos, that I have to have some backup plan in case that Daxos is out of my calculations.

You may take a look at my build Welcome to the Daxos's World, maybe you'll get there some inspiration and maybe you'll wind there something that could be done better.

So, as I said, think what will be your backup plan, so it won't be just about if they get rid of Daxos or not. The deck should be working in every situation.

Wish you good luck with the deck.

I appreciate it! I see what you mean, I really try to hold off on swinging Daxos until I can protect him or I'm confident about his presence on the board.

What's with all the green cards? Bant Charm , Simic Charm , Selesnya Charm , Simic Keyrune , Kiora, the Crashing Wave , Alpha Authority , Shield of the Oversoul , and Unflinching Courage are all illegal in a Daxos deck.

I'm going to be transitioning into a Rafiq of the Many deck instead, and I was brain storming and too lazy to put things back the way they should haha, I'm sorry for the confusion.
