Do you think it's possible to build Yidris in a reanimator style?? I am bored of my Meren deck, I got the c16 precon so I am looking for fresh alternatives.
Why not playing/centering around Living End in the deck? That should tie up many loose ends that come with playing such a 'goodstuffy' general. Or was this your starting idea to begin with?
Honestly I am kinda lost with him. I just finished a series of playtesting a rough draft reanimator list with a buddy and I am not excited. Granted, I don't have access to many suspend cards.Perhaps adding extra turns and swords will make him more focused.
Thoughts on cards that are really only useful in the opening hand? I'm thinking of adding Land Equilibrum to a deck which has a decent chance of dropping it first turn (with or without a land drop), but it's not really a card you want to see later on in the game (unless you're playing MLD which I'm not).
Does Sunder count as MLD? I would think this is a nice 1-2 punch in the midgame.

Divergent Transformations seems really solid for mon-R removal and if you don't need to for removal it can just polymorph 2 of your tokens for value. Even better, if you only need to get rid of 1 pesky creature you still get 1 polymorph for yourself.

Do you have a typical metagame or mostly just pick-up games? Even Flame Slash can be stellar if it lines up well with what you're typically up against.
Cryo's suggestions are very good against unknowns.
Depending on your gameplan you might not need board clears at all. Do you typically find that you have enough mana to cast an overloaded Mortars for good value? If so, Sudden Demise may also work out for you as a one-sided clear.
part of me wants to take a few weekends off from the PPTQ grinding scene and just play casual formats like edh
does anyone have any days that are dedicated to edh at their stores?
I don't think there are any dedicated days and if there are I don't go, but there are almost always EDH games going on. There have been leagues in the past, but they usually devolved into more competitive affairs than most of the regulars were interested in and we all stopped playing in them. When the EDH events weren't attracting the dedicated EDH players, they stopped.

Two stores near me have nights for commander. It's not a league with special rules or anything. However... neither store seems to care about their Commander players very much. They run events for other games at the same time as Commander events and they don't reserve tables so there is hardly ever enough space for more than 6-8 players. Which isn't enough, because this is downtown Hoboken / Manhattan near the NYU campus, so the playerbase is very large. So I don't bother with the EDH events at these stores much anymore. Too many night's I'd show up and just kind of stand around for >1hr waiting for a seat to open up.
Getting into a slump with video games, haven’t found anything that really appeals to me lately. Currently playing Hard West but it’s not very good and I’ll finish it in a few days anyways. Before that I played a lot of FTL but have beaten it with every ship on Normal and Hard difficulty is more frustration than I’m willing to deal with so that game is done. X-Com 2 wasn’t nearly appealing to me as the previous one. Fallout 4 wasn’t able to hold my interest past one play through. Mostly looking for a roguelike or RPG preferably on PC though I do have a PS4 as well.
It only works if your deck plays permanents/has a commander.
Whole lotta ways to draw a boat load of cards in blue/green.
I get there are corner cases where it's beneficial but does not seem like a generally good idea. Having double or triple their mana with Exploration/Azusa/Oracle seems better in most cases.

It's not something you want to just throw into a deck and slam randomly onto a board, but it has it's place.
It's a good way to close out a game with mana sinks or your commander, especially if it's something like Prime Speaker Zegana.

I wish at least one of the stores in my area had a dedicated commander night, I feel it would be okay

I saw the Reddit post but can't find it it's for the Exemplar program or if it will be in the JudgeCon packets.
Any clue?
Edit: Found a Reddit post saying it is in Wave 7 of the Exemplar program along with an as yet undetermined second card.

Yep. With the new formatting it makes it a pain to use so many are leaving it.
