Hey, all. So Garza's basically the second EDH deck I ever made (and now the oldest since I took apart Teneb), but it is by far the least competetive of my current 4. Thus, I'd like to sacrifice some of the efficiency of it and turn it into a fun, casual tribal deck. So, without further ado, the decklist as it is:
Basically this is a controlly-type EDH, with a hopefully heavily-equipped Garza being the win-con. I'm fine with taking out whatever is suggested (I can always find a place to put them), and all I ask is that this remain as budget as possible while remaining fun. All that is listed here I already have, but please don't suggest duals.
Other than that, I'd like to have a strong Vampire theme while keeping the controlly aspect (I plan on making a Thrax Zombie EDH that'll be more cutthroat and aggro). I know there's not much for Vamps in the way of blue, but I'd like to keep Garza as the General. You can suggest whatever you think would make this (budget) playable, fun, and/or Vampire themed.
I'm making a Garza deck next up for my Challenge of Doom (check the blog in the .sig for a brainstorm post, more coming soon) but looking at a few bits and pieces - along with a few cards I just randomly popped in boosters.
Moiroii and "suicide" type cards could be used to gain a quick advantage (most of which are in black, rather than the other colours) and then you could pull something like Soul Conduit, or Repay in Kind out...
I'll be watching this thread, and if you like I'll update when I've blogged about my Garza deck?
Thanks, I'd appreciate that. Though I'm not sure about that gameplan, as it requires a certain card (of 2 available to us) in order to not be a suicide attempt, both of which can be countered. All the same, Moroii is a good card for EDH as a 40-turn clock for yourself is easy to compensate for. Just not sure I want to go full-out suicide for a Vamp-tribal.
On that note, I've brainstormed a few ideas, and I'd just like to get some feedback. First off, I'm pretty sure Moroii is going in, and secondly, I'd like to pump in some counterspells, as in my last game I got a lot of heat for being a Blue player with no responses to the big threats of the game. Ideas?
