I play most of my EDH online, but I wanted another EDH to go along with the throw-all-my-UGB-cards-that-i-like-in-sleeves.dec, I wanted to focus it down a tad. Eventually I was deciding between building a Sharuum deck, a Kresh deck, a Bladewing the Risen deck, and a Konda deck. I don't have a huge collection, and though I'm fine buying cards, I don't have much of a budget. Sharuum was out, just because there were a bunch of expensive cards that fit so well with the deck that I would want to have, but might not be able to have. Bladewing the Risen I worried a bit because all my black EDH staples would be in Vorosh, still it seemed like a cool choice. The decklist I cooked up seemed not to do much of anything for a while. Kresh was suffering from mana problems, and overall, I wanted a decm more resilient to sweepers.
The basis of the deck is Konda+Wrath of God=Just Konda on the board. He then can swing uimpeded, hopefully with some nasty equipment on him. Worldslayer+Konda is nearly always an "I win" combo if combat damage resolves. Its pretty much monowhite control, with Konda as its main finisher, with a bunch of equipment to suite Konda up with.
This deck I want to be able to use for both single player and multiplayer games (Anybody planning on playing EDH at the Boston SCG 10k Weekend? Once I scrub out 0-3, 0-4 (I'll probably keep playing a few rounds for fun) I plan to head over to see if their runnin their EDH side events! Maybe I'll see you there.
Any tips for the deck would be most helpful. I can spot a few weaker cards that I'd like to cut. Remember, this is on a budget. Suggest any card you want, I don't care if your suggestions are budget or not, but budget might be a reason I didn't throw it in. The white decree for instance, I decided wasn't worth the effort to try and buy it, as well as Eternal Dragon, and Sword of Fire and Ice (I have one, which actually I should pilfer from my Vorosh deck). Maze of Ith I'd also love to have, but can't find one, and its unfortunetly quite expensive for a mostly casual card (I guess a few tier 2 Legacy decks play it)
The Kaldra are in there for fun, I do have some tutors for them, and the sword especially is great on its own. I'm not adverse to cutting them, as well as some of the wrose removal (Arrest, Shackes, etc). They just looked so shiny (Mirriodin Prerelease Foil set, I actually took a break from Magic during Mirriodin but i'm "borrowing" them from my bro who used to play but now is in college)
Have you considered Mageta the Lion as a general instead? Comes with your entire gameplan in a pretty neat, 5 mana package. See the stickied lists for inspiration.
