omnath, huh. we had an omnath player in our group. are you going omnath beat face, or mono green big stuff?

Omnath beat face?

Idk really... I think it'd be considered a mono green big stuff. Cuz I also have Seedborn Muse in the deck. INFINITE GREEN MANA FOR THE WIN!!!!!

by omnath beat face i meant focusing on dealing general damage with omnath.

azusa is also notorious for handling big green very well.

Yeah, but Omnath can get infinitely large. If I have Omnath and Seedborn out together, I'm going with omnath beat face. If I have other creatures out with Omnath, I'm still going to go with Omnath beat face. Especially when I can have Akroma's memorial out as well. lol.

I liked omnath when I had him as a general (that and the deck was easy to make, run 40 forests, why not), even if your dead last, you have this massive general that everyone has to keep an eye on else you start beating face in like a boss.

Still nothing like watching a guy combo out with an edh deck turn 4 constantly. It's quite the site.

what turn 4 deck are you talking about, gurall?

It was 5 colors using scion as the commander, the commander was the backup plan actually,

You do this

1. resolve survival of the fittest
2. Tutor up the following
-Anger (pitch to find..)
-Caller of the claw (pitch to find..)
-Crypt Champion (pitch to find..)
-Saffi Eriksdotter
3. Cast saffi
4. Sac saffi to get crypt champion whom will return saffi to the field, crypt champion sacs itself unless you pay R, which you won't, chain this x amount of times where x is whatever you want it to be, when your done, return caller of the claw using crypt champion. You'll get X amount of 2/2 hasty bears.
5. ????
6. Profit

The deck dumps everything turn 3 (survival is a 2 cmc enchantment), and wins the following turn.

I mean, Commander is a casual format, so it's really just house rules, but isn't Strip Mine banned? People you play against don't mind that you use it?

strip mine is perfectly legal, yes, you can in fact lock someone out of the game with strip mine/crucible of worlds

I don't really see the harm in it. Everyone I've ever played against had a strip mine as well.

Aha, Griselbrand got banned in EDH. Good riddance. Won't stop many of my friends, not like I mind too much if it's part of the 99. Still will annoy me in Kaalia decks.

And it turned out that it was Fastbond I was thinking of. Yeah, Strip Mine isn't too bad alone, but with that, Crucible of Worlds, and some kind of way to put down multiple lands in a turn (Azusa, in my friend's uncle's case, usually), it's a pain.

bare in mind the ban list is suggested, you can use stuff on the banlist if you really want to.

I know, but it's a good list. Many of the cards on it me and my friends wouldn't appreciate being used against us.

Anyone care to take a stabbing guess at which 15 lands they will be reprinting? Cuz I have no clue. Wizards said all 15 lands will be taken from this picture:

snow covered lands!!??? lol, yeah...right. (tho my edh does need 'em stil....)

Dang... I forgot about the snow covered lands...

Maybe they're reprinting Mouth of Ronom?

*wants them to reprint Tolarian Acedemy for kicks*
Perhaps Dark Depths?

the grove of the burnwillows and dryad arbor reprints look really sweet

On to a new topic... Anyone ever try to run a Planeswalker EDH deck?

Planeswalker EDH? Is that when the leader of your army is a Planeswalker instead of a legendary creature?
My friend and I talked about that. He already had a plan to use Sorin Markov as his commander. He can be such a scumbag sometimes playing the game, lol (Sorin Markov's second ability is really harsh in EDH). He could also already change one of his decks, a monoblue one, into a Planeswalker EDH, just replace his general with his Jace, the Mind Sculptor.
