Nice. I am liking the look of the Commander decks, enough so that I may actually play it. I've never played EDH (which will soon be called Commander), mostly because I was never into the "single" copy thing, nor did I like being limited to the small amount of color options. With the new wedge (always been a fan of wedge, Lightning Angel is one of my fav cards, and I buy all copies I find at stores) cards and such, I'm really looking forward to playing this format.

Im pretty excited about it too.. Especially the 'Devour for Power' deck, since its got a copy of my favorites 3 colored dragon in it.. Vorosh, The Hunter.

But first i'll need to buy one of the New Phyrexia Event decks xD

Well I've been playing edh for about 5 years and the spoilers are ridiculous and that makes me think the rest of the cards will be just as good and actually competitive right out of the box. I mean each one comes with a sol ring which already makes it worth the buy in my opinion.

Just looking at the generals for the Devour for Power deck makes me think it will be the most powerful right out of the box. The Mimeoplasm alone astounds me. He's really cheap and has, I think, the most power ability of all generals shown so far.

Unfortunately after looking at Kaalia, I decided id go with the RWB deck. Rakdos has always been my favorite demon upon his spoil. Way back in Ravnica I rocked my playgroup with a surprisingly competitive Yore-Tiller deck with the Defiler in it, but if I wanted to run my ridiculous combo I'd have to play 5C and I'm not a big fan of green. The moment I read "Put Rakdos into play tapped and attacking" (because for some reason that's how I read it), I felt a turn 2 Rakdos deck was in order.

The other decks are still a bit iffy to me. RUG seems to be creature based and every Intet deck I've seen and played were all spell-based, and Political Puppets is a donate deck so unless there's better cards to give than a Bronze Bombshell it seems to only add humour and flavour to the table.

I'd have to agree with all of you about the Devour For Power deck. That's the one I want most I think, followed by the RWB one.

And yeah. Definitely picking up TWO white NPH decks first. Haha

considering the rug deck has a psudo capsize combo, some really interesting cards, and is the only deck to contain homeward path, I wouldn't be surprised if it's the most expensive in the long run. There's a good chance none of these will ever see print again and if homeward path is in high demand, the lack of avalibility will make it really hard to come by and really jack the price up.

Now that i've seen the 5 decklists, i've gotta say that the 2 im most excited about is heavenly inferno and devour for power.

I like both of them very much, but im only going to get one of them and its probably going to be devour for power.
Mostly because its got one of my favorite enchantments of all time.. Grave Pact, but also because its the one that fits my playstyle best.

I had an altered kaalia for less than an hour and my playgroup said she's unfair and refused to play it. For some reason I though constructing a timmy deck that pulls out akromas and dragon tyrant would be fun

Political puppets is really fun though. I try to keep the board balanced and when it gets upset and I fix it people get mad, it helps out that odd man who got mana srewed to help him enjoy the game more, and it gives people crabs. Definitely the funner of the 5 when it comes to multiplayer.

Yeah.. I almost brought Heavenly Inferno just because of the dragons since they are one of my favorite creature types.

The puppets deck aren't exactly my kind of deck, so i didn't even consider it.

I also like the fact that they actually put a planeswalker in one of the decks.

I bought the Heavenly Inferno deck. I like it but will have to edit it a little. They all sold out fast at my hobby town all that was left was the deck I got.

I'm almost possitive kaalia decks will be popping up all over the place until people refuse to play her. In a 4 player game I dropped a land sol ring signet and mox opal on turn 1 and everyone scooped (my deck is highly altered). Even I saw how overpowered a turn 2 kaalia can be. I made the other general be mine and put kaalia into the deck and it significantly reduced the power level of the deck. I have a feeling others will be build the same way.

as for political puppets, I too am not a big fan of donate but that's such a minor factor of it. It helps the weeker players out so much. The players with 4 lands just sit there and never do anything because they can't and saying 'hey if I let you draw cards what's in it for me?' and 'oh you don't have a blocker for that flying fatty? Want something that will?' and you have an ally for the rest of the game.

I want the Political Puppets deck the most I think, but it's only good in multiplayer and I don't have many people around here with EDH decks so I feel it would be pointless right now. So I'll probably go with my second choice, as mentioned before, Devour For Power. But still. Political Puppets looks soooo fun.

@Interth how did you you alter the heavenly inferno deck beside put in Kaalia in the deck?
PostPosted: Sun Jun 19, 2011 5:25 am


I started with where the ancients tread and picked 5/X's
degenerate kaalias will have rakdos skittles and iona because any of them by turn 4 or 5 really ruins the game

karmic guide/lark combo for kaalia while she was my general, white akroma, rimescale dragon and snow lands, akardar valkyrie and raya for recur, bogarden hellkite is 15 damage with WTAT, yosei, hellkite charger and other additional combat cards, dragon tyrant, and other creatures.

Maybe I'll put the decklist up later. I wouldn't recommend doing what it does though.
