My favorite magic card is:
Vanish Into Memory
Not only does it have a really bad-ass name when you're casting it on Dark Depths token, (You were to be feared... once. Vanish into Memory.) but it's a great card.
I play mostly EDH, and I've gotten more wins off this card than any other. It's one of the best cards in UW and even has a spot in my 5c goodstuff deck.
Cast it on your creatures to save them, draw cards and re-use ETB effects. Cast it on opponents tokens as removal + card draw. Cast it on their Avacyn, Angel of Hope to get 8 chances to find a planar cleansing and path to exile. It's never been a dead card for me, and I don't even play combos (where digging 7-8 cards deep while delaying a threat can turn a loss into a win very often.
Not to mention I've had more than a handful of Omniscience -> Kozilek, Butcher of Truth -> Vanish into Memory and win that turn off of +16 new cards with Omniscience.
Good luck to everyone! I just hope I win and this doesn't Vanish into Memory. (I sure hope that pun didn't disqualify me. )
Edit: To site owners and such. Where the term 'UW' is above I had it in mana tags and it appeared at the start of the paragraph. Might want to look into that.
Just wanted to mention that the spell only fizzles if all targets become illegal. Look at the ruling on Hex(Gatherer) for proof. (Or the rules.) This wasn't how it originally worked IIRC, but that was before my time.
Also the CMC seems good.
If you're not focusing down 1 opponent at a time you're making a mistake. Aggro decks that try to spread the love post really pathetic results.
Kill the biggest threat, then the next, then the last one most games. Sometimes ease is more important than threat, but if they're combing all their pants should be pretty far down stopping your aggro.
Alternatives to Athreos (Who is very, very good) are Teysa, Orzhov Scion for removal and resiliancy to wipes (Darkest Hour is also a thing) and Tymna the Weaver for keeping your hand full and getting 2 cards in the command zone. (even if the other is Ravos, Soultender to keep it two colors.)
The thread is about people hating your Edgar deck, and my point is just that when all other things are even you do have an emblem from the start of the game that can only be permanently removed with your loss or their win.
It's also about when the board state is empty you do have the ability to rebuild quicker than many other fair decks.
Do they go overboard? Maybe. But there are reasons to focus you when everything else seems even.
Here's the thing. Most decks don't pack specific token hate cards, and a well built Edgar deck can keep a decent board presence while keeping a large hand. If you board-wipe he rebuilds twice as fast and you've cleared the path.
As far as I'm concerned there's exactly one solution all my decks pack to Edgar in the command zone, and that's bringing his life total to 0, so while he's not 100% my choice every time, I tend to kill him when I can.
EDH is a social game. If he's being asked not to play it and keeps playing it, they'll just stop playing with him. The fact that I need to explain this to you is pretty hilarious.
Also remember we're only getting his side of the story. Look at it this way: They're playing Vorinclex, 5c Goodstuff and other powerful decks and STILL asking him not to play this. His deck is probably crushing them pretty often, or they probably wouldn't complain.
If at the very least the tokens were "1/1 thrall tokens" then I'd be a little more okay, but freaking vampires?
It's less about the power level and more that I hate his Eminence to hell.
City of brass adds up to 5-6 damage over a game easily, which is a very significant amount. If you're playing a super cut-throat combo kill meta then yeah it's worse, but in metas where dying to fair combat is a real threat it's way better. I've only once or twice had a problem with not having the right color, as opposed to the many, many games I've won with 5 or less life remaining and this on the field.
You can't tap this without a colored land across the table. You can only add a color their lands could produce, and colorless isn't a color.
Then again if you're playing against Kozilek, Butcher of Truth, Kozilek, the Great Distortion, and Karn, Silver Golem I suggest you assume the position.
If you want something fairly cheap and extremely dirty, grab an Edric, Spymaster of Trest deck with a bit of counter-magic, a bunch of super cheap creatures (Cloud of Faeries) and some extra turn effects.
