So one of my friends apparently built a 1v1 deck (Vendillion Clique Control) pretty recently, and he's already put together a second one (Geist of Saint Traft Midrange). And then a new guy we've started playing EDH with has Marath, Will of the Wilds Combo. I've been meaning to make a 1v1 deck for a while, so I thought why not give it a try now?
I basically just ported over my regular Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief deck and made changes according to the different style of play of 1v1 and for the ban list. I'm pretty much just working with cards I have on hand and managed to find at my local shop earlier tonight. If I'm missing something obvious like Wasteland or Boseiju, Who Shelters All, it's because I don't have them, can't find them, or currently have no interest in going out of my way to get them.
I've also come to terms with the fact that Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon would be a way better choice as a Commander for this format. But I just like Drana :/
I could also just play Kiku, Night's Flower, but I don't like how she can't really win on her own like Ms. Bloodchief.
