Oh yay!A Gray Merchant. I've been looking for some Therosian Merchants!
But yeah, hi there friend! Welcome to the club. Mind giving us a rundown of who you play and stuff like that? I'm Lamia. I tend to run decks that set up big synergistic contraptions of grindy value.Spine of Ish Sah + Trading Post, Pharika + anything. That sort of stuff. I'm currently working on a custom Pauper EDH set in the style of the Commander product. It's hard going because honestly I don't know what sort of power level I should be aiming.
I've been working on a pauper Walker of the Wastes list that turned out kinda cool despite the obvious constrictions of pauper. Walking Atlas is really fun, haha.
I got to play at a store recently and did super well in a game with Teysa! I'm really happy with my Teysa list. The Pharika one still needs some work I think but I'm not sure what to slot in there currently. Commune with the Gods probably goes back in because I realized Golgari Charm doesn't hit artifacts, and that was the main reason it was in the deck, haha.

A UR Artifact Commander
An idea for a Commander for Commander 2017
A Commander that would prefer not to get sent back to the Command Zone.
A Commander with Phyrexian Manacosts.
A Commander you personally would build a deck around.
As a Drana player myself, I can say the deck is quite mean. Or can be. I have her built up as a big mana/discard deck, since with just Drana on board and a lot of mana, we hardly need much of a hand. (Our commander will work quite well as a threat or removal. Most often, both.) so if you're worried about not getting to play her more controlling, it can happen! That deck can become the enemy of the table though. Turns out people often dislike discarding their hand. Who knew?
Anowon always seemed fun. One half of a Sheoldred, Whispering One that has the potential to not hit you? Yes please! He's not as big of a threat as Drana though so I'd devote more time to putting wincons in the deck than I do in Drana. (She's hardly voltron but is one of the deck's primary ways to win just by being big.)
I would second options like Garza Zol or new Olivia as other potential commanders! I like that Garza lets you run stuff like Blood Tyrant and Duskmantle Seer as well!
Vessel of Nascency was a card that just made it into my own Pharika deck! It fills the yard, is an enchantment slot, and nets you a wider variety of card types than most other spells of this kind!
Hey I just noticed you've got Pharika in your sig. What're your favorite cards in the Pharika deck? (I currently have one that I'm playing around with.)
Well I did find a primer that suggests Pheld as a political mafia deck with a control twist. I like that idea so I'm gonna see what I can brew!
As for the demon... I would probably choose Take the Money. I'm expecting everyone to be selfish and choose that. If they choose do nothing I win, otherwise it's a thing that would happen anyway. If the situation is such where I really don't want the person playing it to draw 6 cards, then I might choose do nothing.
It's a card that's going to have a clear decision based on the circumstances of the game and how well you know theo ther people at the table.
I actually made a demon that was kinda like Moonlight Bargain. That made me think of that.
And thanks! Have any ideas for my problem child, Phelddagrif? I wanna make the deck still incorporate some hug elements, but also be able to win (through various means. Combo, infect maybe. Aggro? The most abusable thing about Phel is the tokens he puts into play but there isn't much that punishes other creatures ETB under opponent's control outside Suture Priest)
Whelp I've started making new Commander decks again! So far we've got a Bladewing the Risen shell that likes to Wheel and play Swift Warkite, a much much further along Teysa, Orzhov Scion deck that's built around being kind of a Lovecraftian cult (I REALLY need Kozilek for the deck, the old one. I have Newlamog and Emracute (The one that's not banned obvs) but new Cozy-lek is not that great in a deck with pr low overall CMC except the bombs that you don't wanna pitch.
Sharuum got an update and got more synergy and stuff! Drana is currently frozen. I love the deck and I play it a lot but it has most of what it needs so I'm not actively updating it while I have stuff like Pharika and Teysa that are ALMOST there but just need a bit more tuning before their in a state where I'm happy with them. Pharika notably is still missing Skullwinder and Paralell Lives which are, essential for the deck IMO. And I'm also just replacing a lot of the instants and sorceries with creatures that do the same thing, because the deck likes to recycle its graveyard.
Oh! And then Mimeoplasm might eventually get tuned up or torn down. Not sure yet. Kemba like Drana is currently frozen for the most part. And I could use some help with my flying purple hippo deck, cause I'm no longer happy with that being PURE group hug...
My favorite magic card is Hellkite Charger. The first time I saw it, I thought it was a really underpowered dragon with a useless ability. I soon learned how amazing haste is on a beefy enough flyer. While his ability has won me very few games, the games it has won have been memorable (including one where I killed three people over the course of two back to back attack steps) and I've won countless more games on the back of having a 5/5 hasty flyer at my disposal. The art is one of the most gorgeous dragons in magic, and I really want to see it make a proud return in a core set some day.

I did pauper edh because I wanted the challenge of making a fully colorless pauper EDH deck! Hence Walker.
Also I may or may not have altered Walker into Golisopod from Pokemon

I'll have my Pharika list up somewhere at some time! But yeah, using stuff like Dingus Staff is pretty great.
My Pharika is just a grindy value engine, haha. Mostly creatures and enchantments. Lots of ways to draw cards in that deck.
