Welcome to [The Spirit of EDH]! We are a new clan dedicated to the EDH/Commander format.
The purpose of our clan is to give EDH players another place to talk about whatever Commander-related topics they want and to represent the EDH community. We are here to foster the format that we all love and introduce it to new players.
Our philosophy is that anyone can play and enjoy commander, no matter what they're looking for. We are a diverse group of players, representing a broad spectrum of play-styles. Whether you enjoy Battle Cruiser magic, Stax, Control, or Combo, you have a place here.
If you are interested in joining or have questions about [The Spirit of EDH], please PM a member of The Elder Dragon Council.
New members will be given the title "Norin the Wary" when they first join. If you are active and productive in the clan, then you will be promoted to Legendary Member status, at which time you will get the privilege to choose a legendary creature as your new clan name.
If you are inactive longer than one month or so, we will move you to the former members section.
Want to play EDH with fellow members on Cockatrice or MTGO? Here is a list of our members and their usernames (still in progress). Join us in the Fun!
Let this thread be proof that I'm not always lazy.
Also, I'm planning on renewing this whole "clan members" system. I'd like to make it so, that to become a member you'd have to be hanging around here for at least a week before you get accepted. Lessens the amount of people who post once or twice and then disappear.
(Kudos and cookies for that who guesses correctly where did I pull this crappy name for this thread.)

I managed to finish the decklists for the remaining four decks of my seven deck plan, although I haven't got to building it and the last one may or may not be truly complete (It was supposed to be a Horde deck that could be converted to an EDH deck, but that was too tough to plan out both modes at the first try, so it's just a Horde deck for EDH for the time being - hopefully I can find the correct way to convert it, but that doesn't seem to be anytime too soon.)
I had to google to find out where the name of the thread came from and wasn't too surprised I had to do it, since my taste in music is extremely obscure.
(Well, it's more like that my taste in music is bit... different from most of you. Unless Scandinavian pop/rock music is your thing.)
Well, there's more "obscure paths" then "mainstream paths" generally speaking, so we're probably different from most other people but also different from each other at the same time.
I can't describe my tastes in music exactly, but chances it has to come from an anime or game. If it's mainstream, it was either used in a very good (Animated) Music Video or I just ran into it and found it meaningful in some way. Here, have a taste.
My music taste is also quite strange because I listen to almost anything, but not in depth. Mostly liking pop and rock in mainly English and Japanese. Japanese being anime related songs of course.
Look what you've done Bur. By having such a thread name, this has devolved from EDH to Soundtrack... lol.
I am still undecided if I want to build Freyalise or Ezuri. I kind of want to build elf tribal with Ezuri, but at the same time I want to build Freyalise... However, I have a feeling that Freyalise will be too similar to Azusa... Therefore I am still contemplating what to build...
@Madaraki Fran-chan (when she stops by): Was Tokyo Ghoul any good?
I posted in here because [The Crafters]' thread was inactive for a bit. The problem with my craft is that it usually scares people off from [The Crafters]' clan thread. The last thing I posted there was a new "Escape Room"-type quiz which seemed to be too hard.
We once tried including Rare-B-Gone in the Horde deck. We took it out shortly after because it led to blowouts too quickly.
Why, hello there Tasigur, the Golden Fang. Did you hear my cries for a political EDH general that could use Blue and Green and has potential to completely blow out the game even after making allies with many people while being able to constantly bring back my answers to take down the person who is winning by asking the people who aren't to give them back to me? I think you did. And I love you for it.
Fate Reforged is the best set in a very long time.
Also, this may sound weird, but what are the requirements to get on that list? Sorry, I have to ask.
To-Do List for Bur:
-Update the "A-Z" line since Zurgo Helmsmasher is now last alphabetically
-Change KatherineTsara to TheLovelyLamia in members list
-Add pikachugundam and me to the friends list
-Escape from the Trap Room (mentioned in my previous post - you mentioned you had successfully gone through a real one in the past, so this one should be easier)
To-Do List for TheLovelyLamia:
-Respond to pikachugundam's post above
You already did it previously? Thanks for playing!
Also, as for the name "Aurora": I use the name Aurora in the roleplaying world, and my Sporcle username is still AuroraIllumina because usernames can't be changed on Sporcle, but my real name is definitely not Aurora (as I mentioned my stage name is Mr. Sharp).
(Aurora is my "dream representation" of a singer for my band, the Laser part of Lasersharp.)
Now that we're in 2015, I could start kicking Chemtrails and other Clan reps arses to get something done, like new CC! ... or something. I want to have a contest.

OH! Hi! Yes, Tokyo Ghoul is very good. The manga is better, as the anime has some pacing issues, but overall, both are worth your time (and keep in mind that this is, obviously, just my opinion) Do note, however, that the manga and anime diverge after the first season of anime. The second season, which I believe is airing fairly soon, is going to be a different storyline from the manga at that point. My theory on this is that the anime will be ending after 2 or three seasons, and the manga ends (spoiler-ish alert) on a bit of a cliffhanger (to be replaced by its currently running sequel, Tokyo Ghoul:Re)
Finally! A minute to breathe. I've been so busy lately that I really haven't been able to sit back and relax... and tomorrow is my last day of break before school restarts (I guess it wasn't much of a break, then, eh?).
Anyways! I went to meet up with someone who posted in the General Forums that he wanted to play MtG with people in Japan (specifically Tokyo area), so we finally got a chance to do that. We went to a game shop near Iidabashi, which was actually pretty groovy, and I got some cards to help finish off that mono-Black stax deck, as well as some C14 updates to my mono-White angels/equipment deck. Overall, I'm pretty pleased with the place in terms of selection and price, both of which are quite decent.
Well, the dude I met up with mostly plays Standard, so we played a match using his decks. It had been forever since I'd played a 4-of format, so it was a real change of pace for me. His decks were pretty good, and apparently they are homebrews, which earns some respect because I'm not a huge fan of net-decking (referencing is fine, especially if someone has discovered a neat interaction that you'd never thought or heard of before). Anywho, that was fun.
Then, we switched to EDH (he'd "thrown a deck together" the night before, so that was fine). I was itching to try out my updated angels and I didn't want to turn him off the format by playing hardcore control, so angels it was. They really got to do their thing! Dude didn't run much removal (his cardpool was limited to Standard, mind you), so the feisty fliers quickly took over. I'd gotten a slow start both games, missing land-drops on t4... boo! But Solemn Simulacrum and some recursionshenanigans saved my ass once I got that fourth land. After that, I started doubling my mana and casting angels up the wazoo, since Skullclamp was feeding my hand.
Overall, I think we both had a good time and the guy seems like a pretty chill cat. I'm looking forward to playing with him again sometime!
@hatter: Ahh, sounds nice! Always great to meet more magic friends!

Finally got Glacial Chasm for Sharuum! Card I've been meaning to get since forever, but it's been on the backburner for awhile now. Got a foily (slight damaged) FTV one as a throw-in for a trade.
I love when I get to update Sharuum. I've been playing the deck for five years, and the core has stayed consistent, but the supporting cast has changed.
