Gollum, Scheming Guide - I want to play a game

In fairness, Jon is slowly getting actually better now. I haven't won a game in the last couple meetups (I think I won a majority of the games in the meetup before that, but whatever). But still, another deck in the series of "how can Dirk gimp himself to create a fair game", we have Gollum, Scheming Guide.

Gollum is the only commander with the word "guess" on it, which is pretty cool. I like the idea of a commander that relies on your opponents guessing wrong, since it always gives them the out of simply guessing correctly. There's always a way to win - just don't be wrong.

Anyway, it's a very simple voltron build, the gameplay is the more fun part. It has been fun to play, though based on results I think I must have a pretty awful poker face.

That's actually pretty funny, I'll have to give this a spin, once I figure out how to make a working Nazgûl deck.

When will the Gimp Quest end? When will Jon be strong enough to face the full power of Phelddagrif?

Lol nobody is ready for the power of Phelddagrif.

I am actually working on an honest-to-god real deck at the moment, though, for the only commander I really like from CMM - Leori, Sparktouched Hunter. Unfortunately I've got a cold so it's been a little slow, but I'm almost there. I'm also about to throw up some more gimp-adjacent decks that I made recently so I can fully disassemble them. I've been pretty lax about keeping my collection sorted and things have gotten a bit hairy, culminating in spending several hours quietly freaking out while unable to find my Ugin and Karn for my Leori deck (which, amusing, has cut both, but I hate not knowing where my cards are).

edit: nvm, I did already put up Graaz and Lobelia. Jesus I'm so disorganized. And it feels like I've got several rolls of quarters shoved up my nasal cavities.

edit2: there we go, signature finally updated at least. I never did put up my decklist for the mono-red boys, damn.

@DirkGently Feel better, man. I get sinus headaches like a %$#% so I know how much that can suck.
