I bought a Fat Pack at my local LGS when for a unsactionded tournements they hold there Saturdays. Everyone was Jealuse of my Fat Pack as you will see.
Thanxs for the replys so far I'll have to take some time to see what changes I can make to it.
DarkNightCavalire you do relize that Korlash is a Zombie Warrior so I can return him to my hand with Lord of the Undeads ability and then reuse Korlashs ability to fetch 2 swamps.
I'm thinking of getting 1-3 more Ob Nixilis, the Fallen cause his landfall is sick with Korlash. Im not sure how useful Sorin Markov is in this deck either. I was also wondering if Dark Depths+Vampire Hexmage would be nice to add to this deck for more arggo.
Over all I just want to know what you guys think of this deck!
I haven't had much time to test this deck well enough but one problem is its mana base, I don't seem to get the right land at the right time and get really mana screwed.
Theres lots of magic cards with very nice art work. Too many to name but I never looked at the artists before but one that wasn't mentiond yet is Volkan Baga. I just love the art work for Elspeth, Knight-Errant.
A funny thing too is some guys I work with also like that art work for Elspeth that have seen it as my wallpaper on my Ipod Touch and they don't even play magic, some have never heard of Magic The Gathering before either.
Thanx for your suggestions guys I think I'm gonna give Heartless Hidetsugu a try this weekend and try your other suggests when ever another one comes my way.
Heartless Hidetsugu should be a pretty good one to play. Just a note though, General damage is only dealt through combat damage so his ability doesn't count as anything but life loss.
Thanks for that reply I'm still learning the rules for EDH and must of over looked that part about general damage being only for combat and not abilities.
Thanks for the replys guys Heartless Hidetsugu is very nice in multiplayer but I will have to be careful not to kill myself with general damage in the process if I decide to use him.
I'll keep in mind that Jenara is more for 1 vs 1
I was personaly thinking Linvala for her lock down abilitie to handle multiple annoying abilities at once like the Sliver Overlords abilities or other nasty ones.
I only metioned Nicol Balos, Planeswalker cause I find if you use Nicol Balos as a general why not have is Planeswalker version to if you have it for more fun.
There is a EDH tournament this coming weekend in my city and I'm wanting some oppinons on what are some good generals to run are, it is going to be multiplayer and one general I know I'm going to run into is the Sliver Overlord.
I'm looking into making a deck based around Nissa Revane since I got 2 copies of her and a play set of Nissa's Chosen.
I know I'm going to have to go tribal elves most likely cause of her abilities but I'm wondering if I should go mono green or green/black mix with her.
My current elf deck isn't too good cause its based around the old Onslaught/Legions/Scourge elfs with 2 copies of Elven Champion
Any feed back or ideas to help get me started is apperciated!
then this newcomer who had no magic cards bought the last deckmaster toolkit just to pull Jace, the Mindscuplter and a fetchland, also a M10 Chandra but the other two he traded to someone for a nice deck. I'm glad that kid got the box cause he won the Magic Jace Lottery with the Bonus Number of a fetch land. LOL
I'll never forget my first mythic rare, it was also my first planeswalker.
I pulled a Jace, the Mind Sculpter back when worldwake first came out and also just got back into magic after a 5 year break from it cause work got in the way.:mad:
The nice part is that $60 card got me a great trade for card to strenghten a mono black deck I'm working on.
Rares Pulled from Fat Pack:
Angelic Arbiter Foiled
Baneslayer Angel x2 Yes 2 copies
Nantuko Shade x2
Sunpetal Grove
Protean Hydra
Mystifying Maze
Bought 6 more booster packs too and pulled:
Inferno Titan Foiled
Frost Titan
Nantuko Shade Third one in one evening
Wild Evocation
Leyline of Anticipation
Leyline of Vitality
Jinxed Idol
I was happy with pulling one Baneslayer Angel but 2 I think I should start buying more fat packs instead of just one a set!
I also traded for my fourth Nantuko Shade so I got a playset in one evening.
DarkNightCavalire you do relize that Korlash is a Zombie Warrior so I can return him to my hand with Lord of the Undeads ability and then reuse Korlashs ability to fetch 2 swamps.

Maybe Heartless Hidetsugu is the best chose to go for this weekend.
I'll keep in mind that Jenara is more for 1 vs 1
I was personaly thinking Linvala for her lock down abilitie to handle multiple annoying abilities at once like the Sliver Overlords abilities or other nasty ones.
I only metioned Nicol Balos, Planeswalker cause I find if you use Nicol Balos as a general why not have is Planeswalker version to if you have it for more fun.
Keep the suggestions coming.
This is a list of generals that I think would work well that I have:
Linvala, Keeper of Silence (good lockdown for lots of abilities)
Iona, Shield of Emeria (might be too pricey)
Nicol Bolas (I do have his Planeswalker Version Too:D)
Heartless Hidetsugu (a friend suggested this one)
Jaya Ballard, Task Mage (cheaper general damage one)
Jenara, Asura of War (Exalted Build)
Kresh the Bloodbradided (Eldrazi Build)
If you know better generals you can post and I will see if I have them.
PS. for a Bant Exalted Build I don't have Rafiq of the Many
I dont think I'll do too good but I've always wanted to try EDH out for kicks
I know I'm going to have to go tribal elves most likely cause of her abilities but I'm wondering if I should go mono green or green/black mix with her.
My current elf deck isn't too good cause its based around the old Onslaught/Legions/Scourge elfs with 2 copies of Elven Champion
Any feed back or ideas to help get me started is apperciated!

I never thought about using nightmare slash I just got the one too, I was also thinking about adding 4xdrudge skeletons
There is one combo I found thats really sick for a first turn if I can get the cards: swamp+dark ritual+Quest for the Nihil Stone+hymm to tourach instand 2 quest counters on the Quest for the Nihil Stone to take 5 life off my oppnents life for their next four turns for the win.
Yeah I'm kinda trying to make a control like deck and attack my opponents with my stronger creatures.
I'm still looking into other cards that I have too, I have too many to go through right now hard to keep track of them all.
Sadly the closes thing to Hypnotic Specter I have right now is Abyssal Specter, though I might find one for trade you never now.
