Feldon's Alzheimer's is Flaring Up Again

Commander / EDH Mono-Red

When I first bought the red preconstructed EDH deck with the Planeswalker-whoever commander, I immediately tossed The Iron Goblin aside and fell in love instead with Old Man Feldon. Wonderful art, a lowish CMC, and graveyard recursion in red - what a silly thing! Throwing token copies of my creatures in the graveyard should be fun, even if you only get one reuse out of each creature before it's exiled from your grave.

...

... And then I re-read the card.

... And then I read it a third time.

... And then I had to buy a new copy of Feldon of the Third Path because I spit my soda all over it in absolute shock and elation.

His ability does not exile the creature card from your graveyard. Oh my God. A repeatable cannon of token copies entering the battlefield, swinging with haste, and then dying via sacrifice?! His card is missing literally EVERY limitation that graveyard recursion normally has! You don't exile the card when you make the token, nor do you exile the token when it leaves play. ETB and dies triggers for DAYS, son! And it's in RED! Soooo good!

This deck's got everything:

  • Ways to dump cards into your graveyard! Red is a good way to loot, so using cards like Cathartic Reunion , Bedlam Reveler , or even something goofy like Nahiri's Wrath can make sure your big ol' beaters are in the bin where they belong.

  • Big ol' beaters! What does red like more than dragons? MORE DRAGONS. Put those bad asses into the grave and then make some token copies of them using Feldon. Sweet Jesus what a pair.

  • Synergy with Feldon's ability! Sundial of the Infinite can let me keep my tokens around indefinitely, and Magewright's Stone and Thousand-Year Elixir give some extra versatility to Feldon's grave-shlupping.

Feldon has become one of my most cherished and enjoyed decks. It's not a super powerhouse like some other decks can be, but it provides endless entertainment as my toolbox of options is practically limitless. And, much like the Spanish inquisition, nobody expects the shenanigans that this deck pulls off. A++ would melt face with Utvara Hellkite tokens again.
