Next EDH Deck, Help Me Pick Commander/Theme

Commander (EDH) forum

Posted on June 25, 2013, 6:32 p.m. by smash10101

So I think it's time to make another EDH deck, but I'm at a loss for ideas. I already have Kaalia, Melek, Zedruu, Gwafa, and Borborgygmos Enraged.

Possible generals I have been considering are:

Progenitus , mostly because I opened one, I've been thinking super friends, but that's a bit pricy.

Karona, the False God group hug because that would be awesome and different.

I am open to other suggestions, but keep in mind that I am not made completely out of money

Karona is cool but be sure to make it flavorfull and add those five cards where you see the shadow of karona. Decree of Pain and others

Maybe you could try a tribal deck.

of course all the decrees would be in karona, as well as temple of the false god, akroma, and phage. tribal could be a thing, but what tribal?

What you should do is:

Karona as your commander, and have it as a allies + slivers dual tribal deck.

You run Hivestone and Xenograft naming allies so that every creature on your board is a sliver ally.

Pure genius.

you could run a Doran, the Siege Tower tribal or not, its a fun different commander. or u could go do a tokens with Trostani, Selesnya's Voice . both commanders could be built for pretty cheap

Karona would work nicely with a strategy that makes everyone attack but cannot attack you very well. The vows (Vow of Flight ), cards like No Mercy , and cards like Ghostly Prison . That would be strong, funny, and just fun in general. Take a look at my decks How Politics Works and Bro, Do You Even Lift? for more cards like that.

i decided to go with karona, I have a list and a bit more than half the cards. Karona, God of Mercy

you could try Diaochan, Artful Beauty . I got one look at her a while back and i went, my friends would hate me for running her. lets make it happen. And in reality you could run her in chaos or group hug if you put the right cards in it

i"m already well into karona (list done, more than half way assembled), but thanks for the ideas

Been running Karona as my commander. For while. The false god has all 15 gods in her deck. It has been fun.
