All Hallow's Eve

Commander (EDH) forum

Posted on Aug. 29, 2019, 5:31 p.m. by vasarto77

The Card All Hallow's Eve looks like a lot of fun and I was thinking of maybe making a res deck or maybe making a halloween themed deck sometime in the future, especially since OCT is coming lol. Any ideas for a commander or other cards for a ressurrecting halloween themed deck?

Fun fact: All Hallow's Eve spent several years errata’d to be an Enchantment, rather than a sorcery (though a physical copy was never printed as an enchantment). That’s not helpful for your deck, but it’s pretty neat so I figured I would share.

For flavour, Victim of Night immediately comes to mind. I’ll try add some more when I can pull up the Gatherer.

Step 1: Play All Hallow's Eve.

Step 2: Dump entire deck of almost exclusively creatures into graveyard.

Step 3: Time to Trick or Treat.

Step 4: Go to hospital for sugar overdose.

I run All Hallow's Eve in my Rakdos deck Discarding Discord. Any reanimator shell would work well for it, but for a flavorful commander I would say Reaper King !

Did you recently pick up a copy? They spiked and are really expensive now.

Caerwyn - Interesting. Well, with exiled now a thing I can see why It might had use to be an enchantment for a while but It is better as a sorcery since nothing can interact with exiled cards that I know of and unless you counter it or stifle the ability somehow which is exceedingly rare in my experience than It cannot be popped by something like an Aura Shards which is something I would expect to see in my meta.

Lhurgyof - I was thinking Reaper King as the Commander but I wasn't sure if there might be someone else out there. I guess maybe I could fill it with scarecrows, vampires and demons and use the other colors as utility and fetch spells or control maybe? I dunno. Anyway, No, I have not found one and reserve list cards Spike every 3-4 years so despite the expense than This will be well worth it in about another 3 years. Gonna also try to find the other original dual lands in revised so I can get those as well. I just don't want to trade away all of my masterpieces just to try to get some of them, lol.

NVM. I bought one on TCG player in NM. I really wanted it. Only 317 too for one and from a reputable seller.

vasarto77 congrats! I think that it is famous enough to be well worth double sleeving and maybe trying to resell later!

I have made a handful of Halloween decks in the past, i have yet to make one i absolutely loved and that felt right.

My favorite though was mono black helmed by Spirit of the Night .

Seems a perfect fit to play the roll of Samhein. Problem was filling the deck with spooky creatures was fun, but actually playing the deck was lackluster.

What I really want to do is build a solid mono black deck then custom all the cards that don't fit the spooky theme well enough with new names and art to make them more halloweeny.

For instance Phyrexian Arena has nothing to do with Halloween but if you were to call the card Trick-or-Treat? It fits thematically as getting the card is the treat and the life loss the treat...

Sometimes I think about these things way too much.

I am thinking scarecrows, Crows and demons. But, since it is a five color deck AND I want it halloween themed, I am having a hard time thinking of non creature spells that are blue green white and red to go in this.

vasarto77 I think https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?action=advanced&set=|[%22Innistrad%22]|[%22Shadows%20over%20Innistrad%22]|[%22Dark%20Ascension%22]|[%22Eldritch%20Moon%22]|[%22Avacyn%20Restored%22]&format=+[%22Commander%22]&type=+![%22Creature%22]+![%22Land%22]&color=+![B] will have what you are looking for.

It is a list of all non-land, non-creature, non-black cards from where halloween is everyday: Innistrad.

With every innistrad block, Eldritch moon, Shadows over Innistrad, Avacyn Restored, Dark Ascension, and original Innistrad, I think there are tons of good options!
