Nov 8, 2014Steveita posted a message on Word of Command #3 - Welcoming New CommandersGreat article especially the end section about getting new players. I work at a newly opened store and have been establishing a new EDH group. I've played EDH for 8 years and most of the kids who play at my store are new to magic in general so its cute being the big frog in the little pond but I've also been cultivating them helping them upgrade their decks without breaking their wallets. Sidisi and Marchesa budget decks were a exciting challange since i couldn't just stick in Arcbound Ravager, damnations, expensive tutors, etc. These precons are very decent starting points and I'm excited to see how these kids grow because when they are able to push me back i get to get stronger too.Posted in: Articles

Most obvious things to play with are double strike and extra combat steps. Not having white limits double strike cards but there are plenty in red and artifacts.
Top deck manipulation by cards like sensei's divining top, Scroll rack, sylvan library, brainstorm, etc
Not getting big spells for free like Maelstrom Wanderer and Intet means you can't really just add black to your old deck and think it ready.
How would you set you your curve to optimize hitting cards?
Anyways its revealing Volrath is still.alive, disguised as Starke's daughter Takara. Not a big plot point and pretty dissapointing when they could have used so many cards from the actual Tempest block over something from Masques
Hasn't stopped them before. Omnath, Nath. Oros, Vorosh
Most recently was I was about to die to Rafik of the many. With Lurking Predators I reveal Blade wing the Risen to bring back Malfegor to wipe his board and crush him.
Invasive Surgery: Hannibal Lector having Paul Krendler for dinner in Hannibal
Tooth Collector: Based on the original Germanic idea of the tooth fairy
Incorrigible Youths: Children of the Corn and The Children
Aberrant Researcher: The Fly
Thing in the Ice:I know there are movies like this, just cant think of any
Just the Wind: Pretty much any horror movie
Pious Evangel: Evil priest trope
Thraben Inspector: The dectective on the case of mysterious deaths or hunting the monster. ex. Dr. Looms from the Halloween series
Crow of Dark Tidings: Dark wings dark words. Crows and Ravens have always been a sign of ill fortune in gothic stories
Any obvious ones I missed? Lets update as more cards are spoiled
She has the check point that playable walkers have, she has an immediate presence and can protect herself
As somone who only plays EDH her -8 is meh. If only it didn't bounce. But at least it doesn't sac either.
