Ever since I got my hands on the Nahiri 2014 commander structure deck...I've been obsessed with getting it up to a competitive level for my local game shop. Everything at my shop is pretty casual as far as commander goes...though there is a guy who runs a Karador, Ghost Chieftain reanimator deck who just DOMINATES week after week. He's pretty much the sole reason I'm running mean cards such as armageddon, cataclysm and strip mine. If I want to hold a chance against his deck that runs so many insanely powerful cards...well then I have to do so myself.
I haven't ran this list quite yet at my LGS as I'm a few key cards short...but I'm fairly certain with this list, I'd be able to go toe to toe with anything my local shop has...including the horribly awesome Karador deck (I, in all honesty...love that freaking deck! lol). ==EDIT==This is no longer true. I've now purchased most the cards needed for this deck since posting that I was missing. I've also won a local commander tournament with the deck since posting this ==/EDIT==
This list is missing some awesome cards such as ravages of war, wasteland and mana crypt...simply because I'm just not willing to make such large investments on single cards at this time. In the future? Possibly. I'm not sure though...they're quite pricey!
Anyhow...here's my list. Would love some suggestions! If you have any questions on my choices, I'd be happy to answer them!!
I want to fit in a wrath of god somewhere in this list...not exactly sure where to make the room though.
I thought at first I could take out my condemn...but man, I love that card.
Also wanting to find room for Serra Avenger. Hmmm lol
Any suggestions?
p.s.
Wish I could just take out my Stonecloaker and Tormod's Crypt...but they're key cards vs. the toughest deck at my LGS.
Angel Of Finality!! Exactly the kind of card I'm looking for. It's cheapish (4cmc), hits only the problem graveyard, has some evasion for sword swinging fun, and is an angel which fits right into my (very small) sub theme in the deck .
minus: eight and half tails, stonecloaker, angel of finality, baneslayer,yosei, angel of the dire hour, eternal dragon, darksteel plate, mask of memory.
plus: masterwork of ingenuity, increasing devotion, conqueor's pledge, elesh norn, kemba, white sun's zenith, decree of justice, caged sun, gauntlet of power, academy rector, true conviction, all is dust, karn.
Hey, thanks for the suggestion Geezer :D...I like how it's an instant so I can wait to pop it just as my opponent is trying to reanimate something.
Thanks to you too Beherits for all the suggestions.
Eight-and-a-half-tails should be a pretty solid addition to my deck (don't actually own the card yet). The Karador deck I play against is reliant on white cards such as a copy of Ashen Rider. Every game he gets that thing out and his deck is all about abusing it. Eight-and-a-half is there as a meta call.
I'd LOVE to take out all my graveyard hate. The karador deck is the only deck I play against that really abuses the graveyard...but I play him enough that I've gotta have some dedicated slots to dealing with his graveyard. You shut his graveyard down, and he becomes much slower and easier to deal with.
I've never been impressed with Masterwork Of Ingenuity. Maybe it was just bad luck, but I kept drawing it at bad times when I had no equipment in play...or I'd draw it when I had 1 sword, but was just completely underwhelmed with it. It's a 'win more' card in my deck, and while it's not horrible...I just don't think it's right in my deck.
I was initially running some tokens...but have since taken them out, along with cards that supported a token theme (such as True Conviction).
Kemba, Kha Regent isn't super impressive in my deck and I ended up taking her out. My deck just too often only has 1 equipment out at a time and I'd just rather use the 3cmc slot she was in for cards that can in some way disrupt my opponent (cloaker and sanctifiers atm).
Elesh Norn is freaking awesome...but she's way better in a weenie/aggro or token strategy. Just don't think she has a home in my deck.
I do like the idea of running either an Academy Rector or an Idyllic Tutor...though I decided that my deck just doesn't run enough enchantments for either.
And finally...I LOVE the idea of adding in All Is Dust and either Karn Or Ugin. I think I'm liking the looks of Ugin a bit more. I LOVE board wipes...and his -X ability just looks all sorts of fun to me! The fact that it doesn't hit any equipments I have in play is just gravy.
Grrr...Not sure where to put a All Is Dust to be quite honest. I actually think my deck wants a wrath of god more than dust right now...I like having a cheap (4cmc) board wipe in my deck (most my other wipes are 5+cmc).
It is now at the top of my wants list though!
Wow Love Haunted Plate Mail! Fits my deck perfectly actually!!
Also loving Gideon, Champion Of Justice!! There's a guy who plays a mono green commander deck that likes to produce tons of creatures...this thing could do some serious work vs. that deck.
Thanks a lot for the suggestions!
Also I'm not sure I'm a big fan of caged sun (6cmc is just too much...and the +1/+1 doesn't do a whole lot for me...too often I only have 1 or 2 creatures in play...my deck doesn't rely on flooding the board with creatures where the +1/+1 bonus would shine)...though I am liking that extraplanar idea!
-Angel Of Finality (I'll still likely buy this card and at least give it a try...seems pretty dang good vs the reanimator deck I play against)
-Mask Of Memory (really going to miss this card I think! This card has been amazing for me!)
-Commander's Sphere
Not convinced on extraplanar in my deck after thinking it over for a bit.
I do however want to give Unstable Obelisk a try. I have ways to fetch it back from my grave...it can help me early game and late.
Rings of Brighthearth seems amazing for you, at the very least for fetches and your general.
So I've been stewing over the ring for a couple days now...
At first I gotta admit, I was pretty closed minded to it. I'm not even sure why...it's probably just due to my arrogance and lack of experience if I'm to be honest about it lol.
It's taken me a couple days to actually see how amazing this card really can be.
There's at least 25 cards in my deck that can directly benefit from this card.
It may of taken some time for the card to make sense to me...but now that it does, it seems amazing!
Thank you very much for the suggestion osieorb! I would've skipped completely over this little gem!!
Got to play this deck yesterday at my LGS during a tournament.
It was pretty great.
I love playing board wipes and other stupid stuff lol. Cataclysm smashes faces in, and Armageddon is an amazing late game finisher.
The other table was still playing their game, so our table decided to play a second game.
They stomped the HECK out of me! lol...never even had a chance. They all ganged up on poor lil old me!
Doesn't help that a reanimator player was off to an insane start. Think he was producing something like 8 or 9 mana by turn 4...and had some kind of big beat stick fatty (can't remember what creature it was) that he had reanimated back from his grave on turn 3.
lol it was a pretty sick start for him though
Then I moved onto game 3...and that was an AWESOME game. It was really long and everyone around the table was just playing blow after freaking blow. All of our decks were able to do their (non-broken, non-instant win combos) things...so that was a ton of fun.
In the end I had taken 1 guy out (he was the only person who I could really attack, and I had a sword of feast and famine equipped to my creature...so I wanted to hit someone each turn so I could use tons of mana for things)...then the guy to my left started producing TONS of big fat 5/5 and 4/4 token creatures...I started digging like mad for a board wipe...heck, I was even using my Buried Ruin to bring back a Commander's Sphere so I could sacrifice it to draw more cards (and I had a crucible of worlds in play letting me re-use my ruins).
The guy swung in with all of his tokens...and told me it was lethal. The other guy at the table also said it was lethal...it's almost as if they just expected me to scoop up and concede...but I choose all my blockers and asked him to count up the damage. We all counted several times...and turns out, I was still at 11 life.
Glad I didn't end up scooping. I don't think they were trying to push me out of the game...I just think they honestly thought they were going to push in more damage.
He passed his turn, and the next guy swung in with his creatures...I was at 1 life! lol
I was feeling rather hopeless...knew I only had this one last turn.
...drew into a day of judgment!!!! lmao, I couldn't freaken believe it! >.<'...I mean I guess I can. I spent the previous several turns doing everything in my power to dig up a board wipe...but it was just so neat how it worked out. 1 life...facing down 2 opponents with boards full of nasty stuff ready to finish me off...lol, was just so epic!
PHEW! What a HUGE sigh of relief!
I wiped the board clean, than played my nahiri, the lithomancer producing a 1/1 token and equipping a batterskull to it.
The game continued on for quite a few more turns. They killed batterskull before I had a chance to gain any life off of it...and exiled my graveyard to prevent me from getting it back...It was an intense feeling being at 1 freaking life and still facing down 2 people lol.
In the end I had a Stonecloaker out, and kept equipping equipment to it...was knocking my opponents around quite well...and then I drew into an Armageddon. Sealed the deal. Neither of them had any creatures out when I played it, and I had a stonecloaker who was something stupid like a 16/16 that when it attacked let me destroy any permanent, when it dealt damage to an opponent they had to discard a card, I gained 3 life, I got to untap all my lands and I got to bring a creature from my graveyard back to my hand. Also he had flying, first strike, trample and vigilance...and had protection from green, black and white...just for good measure lol).
My last opponent at the table had a Venser, the Sojourner out with 8 counters on it...I don't think he got everything that was going on (the standard FNM was starting and the LGS owner was pushing us hard to finish the game..so everything got super hectic at the end as we scrambled to finish the game)...I think he thought he was going to be able to ultimate his Venser and put a stop to me. But I attacked him, and used my argentum armor to destroy Venser. He asked to read argentum, and then scooped.
Sorry for the huge write up lol...
Really was a heck of a lot of fun though. I got to play against some pretty awesome decks...lots of sick plays and TONS of bombs.
Also...crucible of worlds is every bit as awesome as I was hoping it'd be. I spent a pretty penny on it, and man am I glad I did! That card was a dang rock star for me!
Several turns of Myriad Landscape, left me with so much mana...it was just insane!
...And...I want more straight draw. This deck is awesome with land fetching, and tutoring for artifacts and equipment...it's also nice at getting things back from my graveyard.
But I'd like to dedicate a couple slots on just draw...
I think mind's eye will be bonkers...
And I think memory jar is just stupid broken. Play it, pop it during my next upkeep...and enjoy.
My biggest fear with it, is it can very much so feed into the reanimator deck running loose at my LGS. But I'm thinking if I play it just at the right time, it'll be just sick.
I like playing broken things
Here's where I want to be at now. I'm nearly there now...just a few cards away at this point:
I want more answers to the best deck currently being played at my LGS...it's a Karador deck that abuses the heck out of his graveyard. He's pretty much a huge threat from turn on...capable of doing some crazy things with reanimation. However...you knock his graveyard out, and his deck no longer does a whole lot of 'unfair' things. He's still a threat obviously...he runs a lot of great cards...it's just he becomes MUCH easier to deal with when you take his graveyard away from him.
So, I'm adding in quite a lot to deal with his deck specifically. No one else seems to be running much graveyard hate at my LGS, so I guess it's up to me! lol
...Now what to take out?
Ugin...I love the card and do plan on throwing him in at some point. But to be honest, I've got little desire to purchase the card right now...I think I'd like to wait a few months and see if his price doesn't drop eventually. So he's a pretty easy one to cut for me.
Then I'm just going to swap my Indomitable Archangel for the Angel Of Finality...Take out the Memory Jar...and finally take out a Condemn.
I haven't ran this list quite yet at my LGS as I'm a few key cards short...but I'm fairly certain with this list, I'd be able to go toe to toe with anything my local shop has...including the horribly awesome Karador deck (I, in all honesty...love that freaking deck! lol). ==EDIT==This is no longer true. I've now purchased most the cards needed for this deck since posting that I was missing. I've also won a local commander tournament with the deck since posting this ==/EDIT==
The cards I still need to pick up:
Mind's Eye
Wrath Of God (been using day of judgment)
Catastrophe
Flagstones Of Trokair
Dust Bowl
This list is missing some awesome cards such as ravages of war, wasteland and mana crypt...simply because I'm just not willing to make such large investments on single cards at this time. In the future? Possibly. I'm not sure though...they're quite pricey!
Anyhow...here's my list. Would love some suggestions! If you have any questions on my choices, I'd be happy to answer them!!

Any suggestions?

Wish I could just take out my Stonecloaker and Tormod's Crypt...but they're key cards vs. the toughest deck at my LGS.
haha oops! Was meant to be a flooded strand >.<' (fixed! Thanks for catching that for me!)
I really like the idea of rest in peace...the problem I have with it, is I myself use my own graveyard a lot.
Nahiri, Salvage Scout, Hallowed Spiritkeeper, Karmic Guide, Sun Titan, Eternal Dragon, Sword Of Light And Shadow, Crucible Of Worlds, Gift Of Immortality, Marshal's Anthem, Emeria, The Sky Ruin, Buried Ruin, Mistveil Plains.......these all interact and/or rely on my own graveyard in some way.
I do recognize that rest would be an amazing answer to the reanimator deck I'm running against...it's just that it shuts a significant portion of my own deck down as well in the process.
Angel Of Finality!! Exactly the kind of card I'm looking for. It's cheapish (4cmc), hits only the problem graveyard, has some evasion for sword swinging fun, and is an angel which fits right into my (very small) sub theme in the deck .
-1 Hallowed Spiritkeeper
+1 Angel Of Finality
plus: masterwork of ingenuity, increasing devotion, conqueor's pledge, elesh norn, kemba, white sun's zenith, decree of justice, caged sun, gauntlet of power, academy rector, true conviction, all is dust, karn.
Also consider Dispatch.
Thanks to you too Beherits for all the suggestions.
Eight-and-a-half-tails should be a pretty solid addition to my deck (don't actually own the card yet). The Karador deck I play against is reliant on white cards such as a copy of Ashen Rider. Every game he gets that thing out and his deck is all about abusing it. Eight-and-a-half is there as a meta call.

Not convinced on extraplanar in my deck after thinking it over for a bit.
I do however want to give Unstable Obelisk a try. I have ways to fetch it back from my grave...it can help me early game and late.
Really liking where this list is at. I'll probably try to pick up the rest of the cards on my want list this month.
So I've been stewing over the ring for a couple days now...

-1x Unstable Obelisk
+1x Rings Of Brighthearth
It was pretty great.
I love playing board wipes and other stupid stuff lol. Cataclysm smashes faces in, and Armageddon is an amazing late game finisher.
Game 1 I won when I had a Stonehewer Giant in play, equipped with a Sword Of Feast And Famine. I then played Cataclysm and won very soon afterwards.
The other table was still playing their game, so our table decided to play a second game.
They stomped the HECK out of me! lol...never even had a chance. They all ganged up on poor lil old me!
Doesn't help that a reanimator player was off to an insane start. Think he was producing something like 8 or 9 mana by turn 4...and had some kind of big beat stick fatty (can't remember what creature it was) that he had reanimated back from his grave on turn 3.
lol it was a pretty sick start for him though

My last opponent at the table had a Venser, the Sojourner out with 8 counters on it...I don't think he got everything that was going on (the standard FNM was starting and the LGS owner was pushing us hard to finish the game..so everything got super hectic at the end as we scrambled to finish the game)...I think he thought he was going to be able to ultimate his Venser and put a stop to me. But I attacked him, and used my argentum armor to destroy Venser. He asked to read argentum, and then scooped.
Sorry for the huge write up lol...
Really was a heck of a lot of fun though. I got to play against some pretty awesome decks...lots of sick plays and TONS of bombs.
Also...crucible of worlds is every bit as awesome as I was hoping it'd be. I spent a pretty penny on it, and man am I glad I did! That card was a dang rock star for me!

I want more answers to the best deck currently being played at my LGS...it's a Karador deck that abuses the heck out of his graveyard. He's pretty much a huge threat from turn on...capable of doing some crazy things with reanimation. However...you knock his graveyard out, and his deck no longer does a whole lot of 'unfair' things. He's still a threat obviously...he runs a lot of great cards...it's just he becomes MUCH easier to deal with when you take his graveyard away from him.
So, I'm adding in quite a lot to deal with his deck specifically. No one else seems to be running much graveyard hate at my LGS, so I guess it's up to me! lol
+1 Angel of Finality
+1 Relic of Progenitus
+1 Rest in Peace
Also been dying to try Humility out...so
+1 Humility
...Now what to take out?
Ugin...I love the card and do plan on throwing him in at some point. But to be honest, I've got little desire to purchase the card right now...I think I'd like to wait a few months and see if his price doesn't drop eventually. So he's a pretty easy one to cut for me.
Then I'm just going to swap my Indomitable Archangel for the Angel Of Finality...Take out the Memory Jar...and finally take out a Condemn.
-1 Ugin, The Spirit Dragon
-1 Indomitable Archangel
-1 Memory Jar
-1 Condemn
...
I just made a small purchase today of:
1x Eight-And-A-Half-Tails
1x Angel Of Finality
1x Wurmcoil Engine
1x Relic Of Progenitus
1x Rest In Peace
1x Humility
So that leaves me still just needing:
Mind's Eye
Wrath Of God (been using day of judgment)
Catastrophe
Flagstones Of Trokair
Dust Bowl
So I'm pretty close now :).
Anyhow, I've updated the list in my first post...but am going to leave it here as well.

I also noticed a lack of Gideon, Champion of Justice and Gideon Jura: two excellent sweep-dodging equipment targets.
