Commander Deck Help forum
Posted on Feb. 10, 2020, 12:11 p.m. by ShimmeringEggplant
Need help to pick my new deck for my new play groupe.
Semi-competitive lvl and few hundred $ budget.
K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth Lifegain deck.
Reki, the History of Kamigawa Legendary + Infect.
Tasigur, the Golden Fang Villainous wealth.
Let me know what you think.

Tasigur, the Golden Fang with infinite mana is a classic. K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth is probably a bit more original though, and equally powerful I would say. Personally I would go with Sultai, but that's just because it's my favorite color combo. Honestly, I don't think you could go too wrong with any of these choices.

If you go 3 color you need the mana base to back it up and as far as golgari, meren of clan nel toth is the best imo, mono black and mono green are also strong

K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth is a much more "rush for the win" type of deck, but it's win it or lose it. If you'll always be playing such a deck in you new playgroup, you'll probably be always be kept in check by other players that will try to slow you down/interrupt you.
Tasigur, the Golden Fang is a way more resilient deck, since you get to use green for ramp and blue for card advantage. Tasigur's delve ability let's you exile useless cards from your graveyard, such that your opponents will be forced to choose between the "good" cards that still might be in your yard. Moreover, Tasigur's ability may be used politically with one opponent in order to team up against another opponent: "If you give me my Putrefy back, I'll get rid of that pesky Breya that's attempting to combo off"... Or similar, you got the point.
Reki, the History of Kamigawa is a good card in Legendary Tribal decks as one of the 99, but I probably won't pick him as a legendary tribal commander, as you're limiting yourself a lot in the possible card pool. One good commander for legendary tribal is Sisay, Weatherlight Captain. Moreover, trying to add on top of that an Infect subtheme without being able to run Blighted Agent, Inexorable Tide or Tainted Strike seems like a bad choice because, again, you're too limited in mono green to do that. One good commander for Infect is Saskia the Unyielding.

I've heard that Reki is surprisingly powerful, especially at 7-8 power-level tables. Dana Roach talks about it on both EDHRECast and CMDR Central a bit, and the co-hosts are always griping about how they can never get the table to take it seriously before it just absolutely goes off drawing a million cards and flooding the board. That's my vote.

I think krrik will be the most powerful. Infect isnt really a viable strategy in edh but I like the historc theme. And why tasigur? Hes a decent commander but I feel like so many other sultai options are better
