(A Scene: The thread: "Who has been the greatest influence on your deckbuilding, etc". Most people are singing the praises of ISBpathfinder and other forum giants, TheAmericanSpirit sits alone in a corner quietly yielding devotions to the old gods, Phil and MagnusMagicus. In barges in the bold and brash 3drinks, in vintage Mardu form and an elder forum denizen in his own right.
3drinks: Not to toot my own horn, but I've been the quintessential resource for my wedge since the time before god [Editor's note: To be fair, he has] and if you're getting your WRB info from anywhere else, you may as well be a dirty Simic heathen or something like that!
DirkGently (I think??):
This %$#% tickled me inexplicably pink when I saw it. But I can't find it. But when I was looking, I saw this other thread "Quirks That Define Your EDH Style" and that got me thinking about the wonderful ambiguity of the word "style" and what that means to all sorts of different people. So I stole the topic and brought it home with me. Can we keep it?3drinks: Not to toot my own horn, [toots own horn]

Title is self explanatory and yet beautifully amorphous. What quirks define your personal "EDH Style" as the ancient OP once so wisely phrased? For me, my personal EDH Style is my tendency toward playing linear and extremely proactive decks. I like the feel of building up to thermonuclear critical mass and shifting the onus to the other players to stop my march towards the doomsday scenario or race me there. So thorough is my enjoyment of that particular feel that nearly all my decks are removal light, ramp-heavy, Plan A-Executing machines, and they stop Plan A, luckily we still have Plan A.
In faster metas, this has meant playing glass cannon combo decks like Selvala HotW and Jhoira WC (RIP Paradox Engine), while in slower metas, it has manifested in ramp-heavy strategies like Maelstrom Wanderer, Nissa, and Korvold. There are weaknesses to my style, of course: Most people learn quickly that I don't bluff and I'm pretty opportunistic as a threat, so I'm always a pretty predictable rolling boulder to dodge or judo-chop if possible. Furthermore, I'm not a particularly resourceful player when Plan A gets permanently derailed somehow, so I will occasionally overlook windows to win games simply because they weren't the means with which I expected to achieve victory.
But enough about me, let's talk about you fine folks! What are your "quirks"? Don't let my interpretation limit your scope, what the hell does EDH Style mean to you?
