Thanks for the input! This was really helpful for giving me a direction to go with the deck.
I was definitely trying to squeeze in my enchantresses, and the enchantments you mentioned are great with the 'walkers. I didn't realize fog effects could be so, well, effective in EDH. I guess if you have enough of them or use them repeatably, they're more reliable.
I'll definitely have to save up for Angus, but yoyou're right that he should be the general for a PW deck.
Hey everyone. Sorry I haven't been posting in a while. School has kept me busy (yes, even in the summer). Anyway, I wrote a Commander thread a while ago and just revised it. I would love to get some input from you guys, the EDH community. I'll post a link below. Thanks again, its great to be back, and hope you all are having an awesome summer!
Interesting article rhakee! I guess that took some time to write.
By the way, what is your favourite flavour of ice cream my fellow clansmembers? I had interesting monoloque with myself about people and their favourite ice cream flavour and ended up wondering that people here like.
My guesses:
Bur: Mint!
Madhatter: Something ordinary, perhaps strawberry or old time chocolate.
Xoth: ... umm. Rum-raisin?
Ufopoli: Coffee-flavoured.
BlackMajic: Bacon-flavoured.
Human After All: ... orange? Something with fruits.

This is tough. Lol Rum-raisin! Interesting...
I like the shotgun approach.

Thank you! That means so much.
And mine is Rocky Road which is chocolate ice cream with marshmallows and nuts.
Hehe. I actually don't drink coffee. My favorite ice cream is salty liquorice In one respect at least, I'm a genuine Finn
... close enough. It was still something that's not too sweet.
Anyways guys, how has your summer been? What are your plans for the autumn? (This thread has been too silent too long. Talk about something. I'll listen to it all.)

My favourite ice cream flavour is Mint 'n Chip. In Japan, though, I don't hesitate to go for Ramune; it's just not really available in the US besides in Japanese markets, which I don't go to regularly enough...
As for autumn plans, I'm going back to Japan -- this time, for at least a year and a half for a second MA degree. I'm apparently masochistic, since one go around before moving on to PhD work isn't enough.
After a very long, unannounced hiatus, I AM BACK!!! So sorry to keep all of you clan mates hanging, but I am back now and ready to start working with the clan again.
I haven't been here in the clan for a VERY, VERY long time, so I have no idea what's happened since then. But, (if you guys haven't already done this already), I would like to pass the ownership of the clan to someone else. Bur, you have always been faithful to keeping this clan alive, and you deserve to be the new leader. I'm sure you will do a greater job than I ever could.
But don't think I'm just disappearing from the clan entirely, I'd like to continue helping out in any ways I can. Contests, discussions, anything that comes our way.
So, can anyone update me on what's been happening since I left? (also, anyone wanna guess my favorite icecream?)
Everyone is returning!! Hahaha that's awesome. I honestly do not know myself what has been happening in these neck of the woods... I also need to be filled in!
Also I had a quick commander question. So I am a person who tends to stick with the same commanders for long periods of time, simply for budget and nostalgia reasons. However there are guys in my meta who have a new deck every week, or own multiple decks. It makes me kind of bummed and miss the art of deck building. So I decided Tthat instead of going out and buying more decks, I could just break my decks apart when I decide to build something new. For example, right now I run a awesome Teneb, the Harvester deck. But I can take out the black and put Selvala, Explorer Returned at the helm. I'd do the same with white and put Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord at the helm. That way, my one commander deck is four commander decks, each with its own little strategy.
So what I'm asking is has anyone else felt limited in terms of deck building via budget or something else? How did you handle it? Does anyone else do this or something similar to this?
Scrap and rebuild.. never write it down just makes you rebuild it. Also try using generals in different ways there is more than one way to use a general.
If budget is an issue, and you need to scratch the deckbuilding itch, see if your group would want to play some Pauper on the side. Most people can slap together a workable pauper deck with stuff they have lying around.
I'll definitely have to save up for Angus, but yoyou're right that he should be the general for a PW deck.
I'm currently running him as a pillowfort general, but Wizards keeps printing superfriends cards. I'll probably just add walkers over time and turn Angus into a PW deck.
Looks like Mono-EDH Decks for 2014. Was kind of hoping for Wedge, but it's not so bad since that could be next year. Yearly relieves the stress of it no being the desired color scheme, lol. Also that new Gisa looks fun, and Teferi is so going straight into Sliver Queens P'Walker deck.
I'm going to try out Gisa in my Prossh, Skyraider of Kher deck. Nothing like sacrificing a bunch of kobolds to Prossh, then sacrificing Prossh to Gisa to make a hoard of zombies, then recast Prossh and repeat. Also gives you a backup to all of your threats. "Oh, you want to destroy my Grave Titan? I'll just turn it into 6 more zombies." It's really nice that she can even just sacrifice a zombie to make 2 more.
Had interesting game tonight. I never knew resolving Wildfire would be this... satisfactory.
Also, I found out the most dangeroud kill-on-sight artifact in my Mishra. Is it Winter Orb? No. Staff of Domination? No. Smokestack? No. It was Clock of Omens. It amuses me to no end to see people's reactions to that card...
That's funny. It reminds me that I've been rattling an idea around in my head for some time now. I want to make Mishra, grixis storm, where the entire point of the deck is to win with Spawnsire of Ulamog and Battle of Wits. It will storm into huge mana and I will win with 200 proxies of Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre. If my playgroup doesn't allow it, I'll replace those cards with things like Mind's Desire and Tendrils of Agony...
Ah, Mind's Desire. A card that I'd really like to use outside of Cube, but since it's too good for every other format (and I do not truly play blue in EDH).
Ah, this reminds me. Have you ever had a situation where you have a card that you'd really like to use, but have no deck for it...
I currently have Reality Strobe (Italian foil, no less), but no use for it.

For Doubling Season stuff, I'd use Luminarch Ascension and Sacred Mesa as late game win cons.
Also, Spike Weaver is somewhat better with d.season.
