Now that my Vorel of the Hull Clade project is mostly done, I'd like to start my next EDH project. I wanted to pick one that really isn't seen that much, and one that'd provide a change of pace from Vorel, who's much more combo-oriented. I decided to go with Isamaru, Hound of Konda because I mostly wanted to see the looks on my playgroup's faces when they see me put a vanilla dog into the Command Zone
I know that straight aggro isn't the strongest strategy in EDH, especially multiplayer, so I wanted to makes sure I had plenty of removal and a sort of control aspect to some of the cards. I looked to the Death and Taxes decks of the past for ideas for some cards to include, since that went for a similar aspect. Here's what I came up with.
