Last night I played with an EDH deck that contained an Elspeth, Knight-Errant that I somehow managed to play on turn two. While it was accumulating loyalty (and unfortunately an Oblivion Ring :p) I was wondering about indestructibility and how much fun mass destruction is when all your stuff doesn't die
Konda was my first choice, because he feels more legendary to me. But Samuari are just not my thing...so I kicked out all Samurai and went for just useful creatures. EDIT: Then I was pointed out below that the Myojin isn't indestructible, since you don't cast it from your hand :s. So back to Konda it is! But no Samurai I just swapped Konda and the Myojin
The theme is indestructiblity, with a small blink theme (blink out your non-indestructible stuff, cast mass destruction, gloat :)).
technically myojin isnt indestructible because you aren't playing it from your hand
sorry to rain on your parade
play it, bounce it to your library or hand (something both white and blue are good at) and play it from the hand, and then it becomes indestructible. However that is a very roundabout way of achieving the indestructible general (and even if it is indestructible it still dies to Exile effects).

Actually, the list of indestructible generals is Konda, Sapling, and Ulamog.
Also, WRT Myojin as general: That Which Was Taken can give them divinity counters. It can also give your other permanents divinity counters, and while they don't have activated abilities that use divinity counters, divinity counters make things indestructible.

No, it isn't! Well...ok, it is...but not when I wrote that. Ulamog was still sleeping back then

So I looked for indestructible Generals. Turns out there are only 3: Myojin of Cleansing Fire, Konda, Lord of Eiganjo and Sapling of Colfenor. Sapling was right out because Elspeth wanted me to put her in the deck Also, white has TONS of mass removal.
Konda was my first choice, because he feels more legendary to me. But Samuari are just not my thing...so I kicked out all Samurai and went for just useful creatures.

Euh, well...that leaves me not much choice other than to choose Konda as my General or relying VERY much on That Which Was Taken.
*sigh*
