EDH (Elder Dragon Highlander)

Postby AndyVV on Tue Jan 26, 2010 12:09 pm

As part of the Jim night (29th) I also wanted to give a stab at EDH format.

The rules are here.

It looks to be rather good fun and I'll make a deck to use if we've got time left over after play Stack :)

cant make it to the 29th.. would have liked to try the stack idea out too.

Bloody full calender weekends.

when beset by fear and doubt,
run around in little circles,
and wave your arms and shout

Damn, well I'll be leaving my portion of the stack with Jim so it can be left in trust at the club for others to play with.

Sadly the only ones I found that were fun were mono colour and thus a little restricting for the rest of the deck.

I also mused on Phage The Untouchable for a bit, until I read the rules on her coming into play from anywhere but your hand. It's quite a challenge to find a general that won't kill of your colour choice, and yet also be useful.

Found bushi tenderfoot which would be fun, but he's only white an i don't think i've got enough cards to back him up :P

Other possibilities i've found are some old green/white legendary reprinted in timespiral that has no special abilities whatsoever, Richard Garfield P.H.D. (bloke who created magic, from unhinged - doesn't seem to say we can't use them :) ), and for some reason i have a spanish copy of some selesnya card (Chorus of conclaves? got 3 dryads on the front)

Sadly you can't use the Kamigawa flip cards as a general because they're not legendary unless a condition is met.

Lots of interesting Legends in Kamigawa block :)

Possibly the cheapest general you could have:

Thought it said legendary on both sides? I'll have to check when i'm home

*edit* yep, the Kamigawa legends are good, think most of the legends i own are from that block. Found zozu the punisher as well last night, he could be highly irritating if we get several players :beer

I am very tempted to do this:
