Legendary Defender | Sigarda, Host of Herons

Commander / EDH Enchantment GW (Selesnya) Multiplayer Voltron

Hexapod

For this deck, I was inspired by the the 8x8 Theory, a mathematical approach to beginning the rough draft of an EDH decklist. Start with your Commander and 35 lands, choose 8 effects you wish to see, and then pick 8 cards for each effect, yielding a clean 64 cards. Of course I then made numerous tweaks that took me away from the original building blocks, but it revealed to be an incredibly efficient approach for me. New releases have also had an influence over this deck, and I suspect that will continue to be the case.
We are a friendly, casual, multiplayer group that enjoys high-powered good fun. As such, we are enforcing the Banned List - The Command Tower that is mostly focused on mass land destruction or cards that prevent play, like Winter Orb or Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger. Infinite combos are banned. Also we decided not to use Sol Ring because that just frees one spot for everyone in every deck to play something different.
Sigarda is a favourite commander of mine when it comes to fast and furious efficiency. My previous builds were intentionally toned-down to respect the power level of my playgroup, which has since evolved and can now accommodate a full-on, all-out Voltron archetype. With built-in protection and evasion, I find her to be the best suited choice to build Voltron around.
Most of the creatures in here are not meant as threaths, but have supporting roles in building up your hand and board. Birds of Paradise and Danitha Capashen, Paragon are accelerators, while Argothian Enchantressfoil, Eidolon of Blossoms, Kor Spiritdancer, Mesa Enchantress, Satyr Enchanter, Setessan Champion, Sram, Senior Edificer and Verduran Enchantress are all part of the draw engine. On removal duty are Qasali Pridemage and Krond the Dawn-Clad, which is also the best substitute should you fail to cast Sigarda or to keep her on the board. Stoneforge Mystic is the obligatory tutor, Sun Titan for recursion, and while Destiny Spinner works against counterspells, Questing Beast may avoid a loss due to damage prevention.
