Kaervek is great for punishment decksand Wort mad Auntie is fun for goblin decks.
Kaervek the Merciless will also draw hate to you very quickly, I ran a deck with him for a month and it's very easy to become public enemy number one upon declaration of your general. Hard to find a cute and cuddly facade for Rakdos hate and punishment. Might be easier to hide behind tri-colors.. add some other fun to the mix, not sure how though. Kind of makes me want to look back into Hate.
Meh, if ya can't handle the heat stay out of the havoc festival :), I run B/R to draw aggro, but you cannot deny Kaeries power, if your looking to avoid 2v1 or greater avoid B/R, The color combo was made for it.
yeah I think purphoros the god of forge is probably a really playable commander for red a guy dealt 12 damage to me in one turn with purphoros it was intense.
All red commanders suffer from the same problem of being horrid in Multiplayer though. Heartless Hidetsugu is actually really scary, the problem is that people see him coming from miles away. Krenko, Mob Boss is also a great red commander. Ib Halfheart is pretty cute.
In Multiplayer, there really isn't a great Red commander. You could try and play politics with Kazuul, Tyrant of the Cliffs (which is literally one of the weirdest red cards ever printed. Change those tokens to Knights and Kazuul himself to a knight or something of the sort, and it's a white card.) or just kill everyone with Krenko, Zo-Zu,or Hidetsugu.
I'm really dreading making my mono-red deck,as it'll be, like all my decks, geared towards Multiplayer. I want to run Hidetsugu, but I'd only consider running him if red had cards that could fight through disruption.
I already making my decision. KRENKO will be my commander this time, it not too complex to play, so I can share it with my G/F. She new and know nothing about the stack and spell casting step. I think I make a good decision.
Congrats on the big decision! Krenko is a solid general.
Anyways! Who's excited for Remand (and other cards, I guess...) in the new Duel Deck?!?!?!!! I'm flipping out with excitement. OK, that was an overstatement. But I'm pretty stoked.
What cards are you guys happy to see? What decks will you use certain cards for?
Meh. The deck doesn't particularly interest me. I actually prefer the old body double art. If Putrid Leech was still a think, I might pick this up, but as it is, the only thing I want out of it is Vraska.
Anyway, I'm frustrated. I started on the middle set of my custom standard (or rather TWO custom standard formats) and I'm stumped on mechanics. It's a pirate themed set and I really want to have a few mechanics. I've chosen Level Up at the returning mechanic, with a mini-theme of Ships and Ports (Ships are an artifact creature type. Some cards in the set care about if you're controlling one or not. Ports are a land type. Think gates, only instead of common dual lands you have the ETB effect lands from Zendikar block with a new subtype) I really want two more mechanics for this first set, one for the pirates and seafarers, and the other for the creatures/mysteries of the deep. To put this in Pirates of the Caribbean terms (which this set is somewhat influenced by. Expect to see references to POTC, Treasure Island, etc, etc) I need a mechanic for Davy Jones and a mechanic for everyone else.
Toyed around with a few. Didn't like any of them. Back to the drawing board.
Are you making up mechanics by yourself, or are you grabbing from other sets? If it's the latter, have you given a thought to Islandhome? It's janky-bad but very flavourful.
The details can be found from Clan Council -thread, but apparently, the idea is that each clan picks a card, those cards are randomly distributed to participating clans, and each clan builds a deck using that card. Nothing more is known yet.

Also modgaming Bur setups is kind of treading down a dark path
so should we star voting on what to submit? I would like to nominate a difficult to drop multi colored(3 or more) legendary creature just to see what wackiness can come out of it.
Maybe something like Oloro, Ageless Ascetic, which specifically mentions the "command zone"? HAHAHAHAAaaaa... that too mean?
Anyways, I think that when deck-building time comes around, one person should write it (I suppose I'll volunteer now..) and include a card-choice explanation. After that, the rest of the clan can make suggestions for changes. Based on past CCs, collective creation (especially for a project as large as a deck) will take too long if everyone is chiming in randomly.
Just before you get too excited: nothing has been set in stone yet and all of this is still on a suggestion-level. Also, we don't get to choose a card for ourselves, but we choose a card and some other clan gets it, and we receive a card that another clan has picked. However, there is still no guidelines about the type of the deck or format...
Also, I decided to build myself Toshiro Umezawa EDH inspired by ISB's list...

Yeah, that's why I suggested Orolo... to give to other people to make a deck out of! I guess I'm still jumping the gun I still think that however the CC rules are decided, we have one person come up with something and the rest can help make adjustments. It's just less clunky that way.
Anyways, congrats on building a new deck! (Another Black deck, I notice... >_>) I hope it tests out nicely Let me know if you wanna try it out on Cockatrice sometime.

Wow. I was playing today at my University EDH, and played with my Sisters against 2 other players. I was quickly regarded as "unfun" player, since I played "unfun" things like Putrefy, Damnation or Overgrown Tomb... -_-'
