Welcome to Value Town, where most of our spells are undercosted and the tokens flow like water.

Considering things like Price of Glory, Fork, Imp's Mischief, Citadel of Pain, Autumn's Veil, and Seedtime for the control match-up, which i find myself having the most trouble.

Wins with Craterhoof Behemoth, Vicious Shadows, Purphoros, God of the Forge. And just Prossh Wins on his own sometimes.

Sideboard is cards Im actively testing. The maybeboard is things Im considering might be cool things, but not really priority to get in.

Keep in mind, my playgroup does not play with commander damage.

UPDATE 3/28/2025

This deck has been dismantled for nearly a decade, now. In that time, my understanding of the game has changed so much, I barely even recognize this deck as my own, but it's kind of nice to have this list to reference and laugh at every once in awhile. Can you believe we didn't play with commander damage?

This was my second ever EDH deck, the first being a U/B Lazav, Dimir Mastermind artifact shapeshifter deck. Not a changeling deck, mind you, a shapeshifter deck. It was awful, the win conditions being Grimoire of the Dead and Psychosis Crawler, if I recall correctly, which aren't really win conditions at all. It was a bad deck, but it was my own. I built it without all these crazy things like EDHrec or Moxfield, looking up cards based on oracle text on gatherer and ordering them on fucking Amazon. It was a different time.

But that list was deleted from tapped out nigh on ten years ago, now, and we'll never have the pleasure of seeing that monstrosity again. But ol' Prossh is still here. Still around for us to peek into a little time capsule from over a decade ago and see a bit of what the format was like. And for me, especially, there's a very nostalgic feeling of seeing these cards again and remembering what it was like in 2013 when this came out and changed the format, before I'd even figured out how to build a mana base and I was more worried about my Birthing Pod chain than my manacurve. The lens I see EDH through now is so far removed from the one from then that it's hard to grapple with the idea I was still playing Hedonist's Trove and Vicious Shadows (this card is awesome, btw) for some reason.

And then there are the hidden gems. Those cards I'd forgotten like the aforementioned Vicious Shadows or Archfiend of Depravity. These represent a time when I was still forming an idea of what sort of player I would become. A lot can be said of the obvious through line one could draw from this deck all the way to my newest deck that's represented by one of my all time favorite cards in Reassembling Skeleton. I love everything about this card, from the design to the power level to the ever present (at least for me) Austin Hsu artwork. This was my first deck to ever play the ol' skeleton, and it has become probably my most played card.

The point is, just like the awful quotes in our senior yearbooks, it's nice to have a reference point for how far we've come. Actually looking at this list again, drawing a hand in the playtester and remembering that time I traded a Force of Will for probably forty or so cards for this deck. It's a surreal experience. I mean, Armillary Sphere? C'mon. While I believe I had my heart in the right place, this deck's manabase needs some serious upgrading.

For those of you reading this, remember to keep those old lists around. You never know what sort of fun they can be in the future.
