Having fun again with the yet to be released Maskwood Nexus, after my first go at it with Lords of Maskwood. This time it's mono-blue, and Commander format.

I chose Arcum Dagsson as the general for his ability to easily tutor out the Nexus. Also added a few artifact recursion elements, as well as a generous helping of counterspell action. It's obviously heavy on Merfolk and Wizards, but there are a few surprises in there as well.

Still yet kicking the idea around, so of course there's room for improvement. As such, suggestions are definitely welcome. Keep in mind a few things:

• I don't do infinite combos

• Artifact creatures are necessary for the commander

• There's a modicum of gimmicky quirkiness to this deck, so please don't suggest a bunch more wizards or Merfolk

• The mana curve isn't incredibly high, and a lot of the Dagsson fodder are mana dorks, so don't yell at me for not including Sol Ring

Enjoy!
