This is the 3rd EDH Deck I have ever constructed but 1st I’ve really built from scratch. I also saw that there was only 1 Crosis deck posted here so I thought I’d submit mine for another look at “The Purger”
This deck was originally started as an EDH Ninja Deck. Then with the recent addition of a couple badass ninja’s from the new Planechase 2012 deck, Night of the Ninja, it began to evolve a little. I originally looked for a good Ninja Commander before Vela had even been released and came upon Crosis. He fits the Ninja colours (UB) but adds my fav EDH colour R for some extra fun!
My “theme” here is about hand destruction and general board position tomfoolery with a sprinkle of recursion, duplication and thievery. All somewhat Ninja-esque traits, at least by magic standards ;).
I have put all of the specters that fit my idea, since they are THE hand destruction & add evasion for ninjitsu-ing, as well as some unblockables for ninjitsu. All the ninja’s that fit the general concept of the deck are here (minus the Okiba-Gang since they are high cost non-evasive hand distruction) as well as the evasion incarnations. I also have Kiki-Jiki in here to duplicate a specter, ninja or clone, and just cause I love him in general.
My playgroup basically attacks anyone who is open or who has wronged them in the past (what we like to call “conspiracy” rules). Pretty much all of them have played magic for years and I’m the new guy and so they all have a pretty decent knowledge of every magic set and thus have made some pretty “greasy” decks. I’ve never really made a “greasy” deck with my other commanders (Rith or Non-infinite Niv) so I figured why not now?
I like the deck since it works without having to cast Crosis but if he hits the board, it just hurts that much more...
This is my 1st time posting on these forums so I hope you enjoy and any questions/suggestions/ideas are welcome and encouraged. Thanks!
Finally!! This is the first creature based Crosis deck! I love it! I'm building a Crosis deck myself but I don't really know where to start cause... Well I pretty much don't have a lot. Should I get the ninja planechase deck like you did? Also, maybe you should add some combat disrupters such as incite hysteria. You can swing with all of you creatures and leave them untouched also propaganda would be awesome. But yeah thank you, I'm glad to see some originality. All the Crosis decks I found have been card discard... And that's it
