vishnarg, that is a great question. What would you take out?

Do I have to choose a target with Explosive Singularity before someone decided if they are going to counter it? Or, after I cast it giving people a moment to reply, once I have chosen a target, at that point it is too late and they can not respond?

more split second cards.

FormOverFunction, my pod is mid level cEDH with a few super aggressive players. For example, Ulamog, the Defiler is a commander that tends to regularly come out around turn 4 or 5. With that, speed in my pod matters a lot. Tonight, I had 7 mana available on turn 3 with nothing to cast. LOL Go figure.

since card draw matters, I would recommend The One RingGC, personally (proxy obviously).

capwner, thanks for the upvote and input. the MLDs were definitely all you.

Profet93, throw a word in friend. My thoughts are on the speed section outside of an overall look.

capwner, in English?... (edit: LOL just clicked in the brain. Mass Land destruction). Whomp whomp.

capwner, definitely going to likely put in some hate cards like that. Thanks for the idea. Before I do that though, I am looking into some alt-win options. Any suggestions there? I prefer not to do infinite instant win combos. I like the draw combo and other combos like it because it isn't an istant win.

legendofa, thanks for the suggestions. I will take a look.

FormOverFunction, thanks for the suggestions. I have kind of come to the same conclusion with this color wheel. For it to be worth it, you kind of have to do a graveyard deck.

DarkKiridon, I love tribal, and I know I don't want to do elves. I feel like, if I am going to do it powerfully, I need to just "call" it a bug theme... but pull creates of all kinds that are kind of bug like. No idea. None of the Commanders are that impressive to me. And other an instant win combos, I haven't come across any cool alt-win ideas in this color wheel.

DarkKiridon, great card suggestion. The issue is that I am stuck on what direction to go entirely. No clue...

I saw that Grist, the Hunger Tide is listed in the possible commanders section on EDHREC, as I am currently trying to build a deck in that color wheel. I already play Commodore Guff as a commander, but he has a ruling that says he can be in that spot.

Grist, the Hunger Tide does not say that... so why is it in that section of the EDHREC website? If it can be, I am thinking about building around it.

I saw a few comments about sideboards. The issue with even thinking we need them in EDH is that although you might play several games in a row, people tend to switch up what decks they are playing. So.....

goaded sounds like a cool spin for sure. I will do some digging in that direction. Like a reverse being the monarch type thing, Asder.

Asder, thanks for the input!!!

Torment of Hailfire looks super cool.
