32 (what would you build)
Posted: Sat Feb 08, 2020 6:35 am
Say you are walking into your local game store. it turn out the got a huge back order and are not holding onto tens of thousands of card many people use in EDH. Virtually any deck you ever wanted to make is now available. There is also a man sitting near the cash with a t op hat and twiirling his mustache, he stand up and says "I will sponsor any deck you wish to build, but I am a sadistic individual. You must build 32, No color combo duplication, and you have to build exactly 32. No more and no less."
So given that there is no shortage of cards and no cost issues, Can you name 32 commanders you would build with?
Here is mine:
Colorless: Kozilek, Butcher of Truth (eldrazi Tribal)
White: Heliod, Sun-crowned
Blue: Arcum Dagsson (Second deck ever built, toss up between him and Azami. I think Nostalgia wins overall though)
Black: Marrow-Gnawer (rat Colony or Relentless rats)
Red: Purphoros, God of the Forge (Token Vomit)
Green: Grothama, All Devouring (Tough since all green decks I could want I already own)
Azorius: Dragonlord Ojutai (Voltron)
Orzhov: Teysa Karlov
Boros: Aurelia, the Warleader
Selesnya: Rhys the Redeemed
Dimir: Phenax, God of Deception (mill that works in EDH)
Izzet: Nin, the Pain Artist (Another deck i build early (Before 2011 sets were even released)
Simic: Prime Speaker Zegana
Rakdos: Wort, Boggart Auntie
Golgari: Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest
Gruul: Thromok The Insatiable
Esper: Sharuum the Hegemon
Bant: Estrid, the Masked
Naya: Zacama, Primal Calamity
Grixis: Inalla, Archmage Ritualist
Jund: Gyrus, Waker of Corpses
Jeskai: Narset, Enlightened master
Mardu: Kaalia of the Vast
Abzan: Ghave, Guru of Spores
Sultai: The Mimeoplasm
Temur: Animar, Soul of Elements (Elemental tribal)
Not-Green: Breya, Etherium Shaper (we)
Not-Red: Atraxa, Praetors' Voice (need)
Not-Black: Kynaios and Tiro of Meletis (more)
Not-Blue: Saskia the Unyielding (Four)
Not-White: Yidris, Maelstrom Wielder (color)
5-Color: Golos, Tireless Pilgrim (gates, lands matter)
Some of these are place holders while others are decks i have wanted to build or even built and since dismantled and/or dissected for parts. Of course with unlimited money and access to every card (up to 32) I would indeed purchase everything needed for all 32 decks.
Why can't my store get a back order and have some rich entrepreneur do this for me?
so what are your choices (in the mean time, I think i will remove the color combos i already have and work on a deck list for each one i do not already have.)
