Thanks Heroes of the Plane Studios for the Awesome Banner! Their shop can be found on MTGSalvation located
here
Okay so my commander isn't
Haakon, Stromgald Scourge but rather is
Ertai, the Corrupted but Haakon is essentially the commander. Basically the deck focuses on the synergy between 5 very obscure cards that play together entirely too well. The choice of
Ertai, the Corrupted is to allow for colors and a commander that plays better with the grave. The other two card that drive this decks' engines are
River Kelpie and
Cairn Wanderer. These both synergize heavily with the graveyard and divide the deck into 5 camps of cards that work together like a giant machine of reanimating, controlling, heaven to play.
Like I had previously mentioned the deck is divided into 5 groups of card:
# E = cards that work well with
Ertai
# R = cards that work well with [card=]River Kelpie[/card]
# H = cards that work well with
Haakon
# C = cards that work well with
Cairn Wanderer
# L = Cards that work well with
Havengul Lich and his combo
Please Note: I haven't marked the deck list yet.
These synergies are what drive this deck's power and utility. This is not a hardcore cutthroat deck but rather a deck that is just entirely synergy. The deck is Inspired by scoeri's list which can be found
here. I am more interested in editing and moving forward with the deck as Scoeri's list hasn't been updated in a long time due to they stopped playing.

With throne now being out for a bit I'm looking at doing updates now.
Acclaimed Contender is the only card I feel is fully necessary.
Im also looking at
Syr Konrad, the Grim but I don't feel he is a guaranteed add.

Thank you for updating the deck after Scoeri! Many new cards emerge to support this deck even further, such as
Guardian of Faith.

Yea the deck got a ton of support in recent years, i just sadly have had this one in storage as a proxied deck so I havent played it much nor have I considered upgrades BUT THAT CHANGES TODAY!
Yea Im pulling it out of my storage decks and decided to start working on it again so expect a several set review upcoming today.

Theros Beyond Death
Elspeth, Sun's Nemesis - I love escape cards and this one is sure powerful in limited but I don't think its strong enough to play here sadly.
Omen of the Sea - I kinda like the idea of this here as it enables Ertai's counterspell ability and is a decent cantrip for us.
otherwise not much that caught my eye here.
Commander 2020
Fierce Guardianship: Im not actually sure I want this here as Ertai is just another engine piece and not actually vital to our strategy but I will likely include it all the same.
M21
Liliana, Waker of the Dead - So I love this card and it is honestly a strong consideration for the list given how often we want our hand in our yard. I will likely be testing this.
Liliana's Standard Bearer - I really like this as a Draw engine for our deck with haakon and im honeslty super pumped to get to test this.
I will cover other sets later today
