Campaign EDH

This is a current pet project of mine that is a WiP – a Commander League that starts off with Pauper-style decks that get better as the games go by.   

TCGPlayer.com $75k Tourney August 12th - 14th! Who's Coming With Me?

Hey all, TCGPlayer is having a big 75K Standard Tournament August 12-14 at the Rosemont Horizon.  I have been wanting to get into the big time tourney scene for a while and this seems like the perfect time. 

Haven't had all the time in the world to work on a type 2 deck but I have a pretty solid UB Tezzeret Infect and a Puresteel Paladin Equip deck.

here is the link to the event: TCGPlayer.com $75K Championship!

Last Commander Deck Reviewed- Kaalia of the Last but Not Least

For this week's article I bring a run of the mill agro/control Kaalia deck and the updated forms of my Ghave and Damia deck to show how a deck evolves as you play games- I use Role-Playing metaphors to illustrate what i really love about Commander.

Cheggit out!

Kaalia of the Last but Not Least

Political Puppets- RUHAN SMASH! available on TCGPlayer.com!

I take things in a new direction and turn this bland 'political' deck into an all out stomp fest with plenty of CAPITAL LETTERS!  RUHAN LIKE CAPITAL LETTERS!

READ OR RUHAN WILL SMASH!

LARPers- Nerds or Terrorists?

So there was a bomb threat downtown at Millenium Park the other day.  Amy commented on how she was glad she wasn't at work because she is very close to Millenium Park and the traffic would be awful.  Today she mentioned to me that it turned out to be a LARPers prop bomb that the uber nerds have left behind.

I don't want to depricate any LARPers out there, not my thing though my friends and I did beat the crap out of eachother with LARP like weapons.  To this day I am proud of my PVC Flail. 

Check out the examiner report- Probably Just Nerds

THE 'Nath Approves- Commandercast s3e7 is READY FOR YOUR AUDITORY ELATION!

The title explains it all.

I would like to say that I was a little intimidated by the Skype format as I have become somewhat of a Thrun since I started full-time dadditude and my interaction with "human beings" has been limited to my wife, son, and magic friends.  If I come off as a douche, well then suck it!

I want to say that the scalable strategies was meant to address 1v1 and League style play as well where a deck may need more or less power.  Holding back with power cards was a strategy I picked up in league play, for which I used Omnath exclusively.  Hard to remember all the points I wanted to make even when I had them written down.  Should have paid attention in Speech class (not!)

I really liked the way it turned out, mostly got my point across!

Thanks to Byron, Justin, and of course, Andy, for welcoming me and attempting to decipher what the hell I was trying to say. 

PEACE OUT Y'ALL, EH?

You Can't Handle THE 'Nath- Updated Deck List.

Hey all,

I am writing up an updated Omnath deck list so Andy can post a link to it in the Commandercast notes, so here goes.  Note that I am saving a fullblown deck breakdown for an article so i will just go over it briefly.

THE 'Nath Approves- Mirror Mastery on TCGPlayer.com

I have a double article for ya.  Well technically even 3, as Split Decision has an alternatable commander.  Check it out and leave some comments!

Mirror Master; Split Decision and Master of Espionage

Updates- Commandercast Recorded; Mirror Mastery Written

Hey folks,

Finished recording my new podcast tonight, and I only sort of sucked at it.  Much better than the total suckitude I expected.  Hopefully Andy will be able to make something out of my ramblings.  Next time I will be much better at it.  Learning curve and all.

Just sent this weeks commander article to Frank at TCGPlayer.com, I am really happy with what I came up with and really can't wait to drop some ninjas.  Make sure to go and comment!

THE 'NATH APPROVES- M12 Spoiler- Garruk, Primal Hunter

 

He is so much better than Wildspeaker in scope of power; I will miss the double untap, but not really.  

He is such a bad ass that he is too cool for the cardboard- he is literally stepping out of the picture.  Not only that, you can see his legs as shadow behind the text.  Just a really bad ass card, I can't wait to play him.

When it comes to strategy, he fits perfectly with my Omnath combo deck, as I pack both momentous fall and greater good.  What do you guys think?

Commandercast Appearance- Ranting on THE 'Nath
