So I've returned to MTG somewhat recently and found out EDH being the most popular format by far, I refused to play it at first as I felt there would be too much variance in the format, but heck, I'd rather play some mtg games than sit around looking at people's binders hoping someone was willing to play legacy/Standard with me, most of the days just played one or two matches if I was lucky, 3-4 on the weekends... Local FNM is modern and I absolutely despise playing it, most people that play it are scumbag wanna-be pro's, at least in my city.
My fav combination has always been UW, with UG coming in as a close second, UG madness back in Oddyssey standard and No-stick in old mirrodin extended. I also enjoy prison decks in legacy, Enchantress being my fav and Stax as a really close 2nd.
So a couple of weeks back I caved in and bought a preconstructeddeck, after a couple of tweaks here and there it's starting to shape up as a decent multiplayer GY-blink deck, and I'm loving it however duel commander just wrecks me as my deck is too slow.
On sunday I got the 2013 Derevi Precon, it was a bargain so figured why not, the dude I bought it from even threw in a 'lark, Thought-knot Seer, Eldrazi displacer and a body double for 10 more bucks, paid 35 for the whole thing (From what I understood he's sellinng everything cause modern bans). It was open but all the cards were there, even the 3 oversized ones so I've been thinking of following the blink mechanic but using Roon of the hidden realm as my 1 and packing some blinkers and impactful blink targets so I out-value the board 1v1, and can combo off with 'lark if things start to get tricky in multi player. So far, this is what I have built/Proxied:
My idea is making this one viable for both multiplayer and duel with as little card swapping as possible.
I will mostly use Roon as my commander, but Derevi might be fun to play with in some multiplayer games. I also know Mana Drain is banned in French so I will probably cut it for the cheap version in multiplayer games.
