MTG Salvation

Kresh the Bloodbraided - I loved Bloodbraid Elf so much I wanted to cascade into something cool from anywhere in the history of Magic. Then I learned EDH was awesome and Bloodbraid Elf sucks in it. What I was left with is a pretty sweet deck that synergizes with Kresh enough to make me happy to cast him, or leave him waiting to be commanded.

Badlands - The very best and the duel land job.

Barren Moor - I added a set of lands that cycle because I never wanted to be mana screwed and they cycle on the cheap later. You can also just replay them with Crucible of Worlds which is pretty cool.

Bayou - The very best and the duel land job.

Blood Crypt - Awesome set of duals that are fetchable.

Bloodstained Mire - I am only playing on-color fetches but they can retrieve any of the 6 fetchable duals.

Bojuka Bog - Uncounterable (screw you Stifle), graveyard hate.

Dragonskull Summit - M10 lands or whatever you want to call them function well in this deck and usually do not enter the battlefield tapped.

Exotic Orchard - Not always reliable, but you are almost certainly guaranteed to hit one of your colors, especially in multiplayer.

Fire-Lit Thicket - I run the full set of filter lands. These are great for the color intensive spells.

Forest - Decks need basics.

Forest - Decks need basics.

Forgotten Cave - I added a set of lands that cycle because I never wanted to be mana screwed and they cycle on the cheap later. You can also just replay them with Crucible of Worlds which is pretty cool.

Graven Cairns - I run the full set of filter lands. These are great for the color intensive spells.

Lavaclaw Reaches - My least favorite manland. I cannot remember if I have ever even activated it in a game of commander, but it beats the crap out of other duals that enter the battlefield tapped.

Mountain - Decks need basics.

Mountain - Decks need basics.

Mountain - Decks need basics.

Overgrown Tomb - Awesome set of duals that are fetchable.

Raging Ravine - An awesome manland in a great color combo.

Reflecting Pool - This land obviously gets better the later the game goes, but is also great early in my opinion.

Rootbound Crag - M10 lands or whatever you want to call them function well in this deck and usually do not enter the battlefield tapped.

Savage Lands - It comes in tapped, but it makes all your colors.

Stomping Ground - Awesome set of duals that are fetchable.

Strip Mine - Often screws up your opponents when they are land light, can also be combined with Crucible of Worlds. Only do this when you are trying to make new friends...

Swamp - Decks need basics.

Swamp - Decks need basics.

Swamp - Decks need basics.

Taiga - The very best and the duel land job.

Terramorphic Expanse - When you need fixing you do what you gotta do. I should just go ahead and play off-color fetchlands but it just wouldn't feel right.

Tranquil Thicket - I added a set of lands that cycle because I never wanted to be mana screwed and they cycle on the cheap later. You can also just replay them with Crucible of Worlds which is pretty cool.

Treetop Village - The second oldest manland? Now with trample!

Twilight Mire - I run the full set of filter lands. These are great for the color intensive spells.

Verdant Catacombs - I am only playing on-color fetches but they can retrieve any of the 6 fetchable duals.

Vesuva - Copies any of the best land in play for the mere cost of entering the battlefield tapped. You can also use it to destroy legendary lands like Academy Ruins.

Volrath's Stronghold - Insane creature recursion that turns to utter brokenness with Lurking Predators.

Wasteland - Handles all of those pesky Maze of Iths.

Wooded Foothills - I am only playing on-color fetches but they can retrieve any of the 6 fetchable duals.

Abyssal Persecutor - He is like a 4 mana titan, combined with haste and shroud he can destroy people before they can set up their game plan. He has only been a liability to me once (so far).

Acidic Slime - Utility and complete broken times when you copy it with Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker.

Avatar of Woe - This card still threatens to destroy people but I was just about to remove it until they printed Necrotic Ooze.

Anger - This replaced Madrush Cyclops once I found Survival of the Fittest and his stick figure friend Fauna Shaman.

Broodmate Dragon - Always nice to have 2 for the price of 1.

Dragon Broodmother - Awesome chumpers, synergistic with Kresh, and mean with Skullclamp.

Dragonmaster Outcast - I just wanted to play with this card, and it is cheap to cast. As long as you get 1 dragon out of it, it seems okay.

Dwarven Miner - I really hate Maze of Ith when I am trying to beat face creature style.

Elvish Piper - This creature allows some seriously broken things in this format. I think he must be a shoot on sight kind of threat. Flashing in a Terastodon and following it up with a Violent Ultimatum or something is always GG.

Eternal Witness - Regrowth on a stick, and allows you to recur anything in your graveyard with Volrath's Stronhold. It also sacs to Skullclamp, because no one actually needs a 2/1 on the battlefield.

Fauna Shaman - Survival of the Fittest's little bro (on a stick).

Fleshbag Marauder - Great for dealing with Shroud, and good with Kresh.

Grave Titan - A complete 6 mana win condition.

Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker - Incredible with Kresh, and awesome with anything with a EtB trigger.

Lord of Extinction - I like this big dude mostly for the lols. I think I have busted 60/60 with him. I used to use Bloodshot Cyclops with him, but this deck is changing a bit.

Master of the Wild Hunt - I like tokens in this deck if you haven't noticed. This guy is also a master of reusable targeted removal.

Necrotic Ooze - My favorite card from SoM I think. It also infinite combos with Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker.

Oracle of Mul Daya - I lost to green decks that play him so much that I want to feel the rush of playing tons of land quickly.

Primeval Titan - Amazing in this format, allows you to get what you need for offense and defense (landwise).

Rampaging Baloths - Great value when combined with the above two creatures as well as fetchlands.

Sakura-Tribe Elder - Rampant Growth on a stick.

Siege-Gang Commander - A dude that brings 3 shocks with him or draws you 6 cards with Skullclamp.

Sprouting Thrinax - Kind of a lame early drop but can also give you Skullclamp fodder.

Terastodon - Troublesome non creature permanents turn into 3/3's and you still get to beat them up with a 9/9.

Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre - A new one for this deck. I like to hard cast him but cheating with Elvish Piper is great too. Who needs Vindicate when you have Annihilator 4?

Verdant Force - Another big fatty that wants to play with Skullclamp.

Vithian Renegades - Because your opponent's artifacts suck!

Comet Storm - I like this card as a solution to a couple of troublesome creatures or taking down a dude and a planeswalker.

Diabolic Edict - Eat it shroud.

Jund Charm - Instant speed graveyard hate, Pyroclasm, and quasi Giant Growth (I never use that mode however).

Krosan Grip - Destroys Sensei's Divining Top most often.

Lightning Bolt - Classic.

Putrefy - Versatile artifact and creature removal.

Reverberate - This is a cool thing to spring on the blue players. It counters counterspells, and clones draw spells etc.

Terminate - Non-conditional targeted creature removal!

Vampiric Tutor - Instant speed tutor, don't forget to use it before your draw step if you pull it from Phyrexian Arena.

Worldly Tutor - See above.

Wrecking Ball - It is 4 mana, but it kills creatures and lands alike.

Barter in Blood - Good against shroud and indestructible and great with Kresh.

Demonic Tutor - Auto-Include.

Hammer of Bogardan - Reusable 3 damage, but it comes at a hefty mana cost. Still it has its utility.

Living Death - A fun card, it is sweet to have in your hand early especially with cards that allow you to load your graveyard with dudes like Survival of the Fittest.

Maelstrom Pulse - Almost Vindicate, a sweet spell and it occasionally wraths a flock of tokens.

Rampant Growth - RAMP

Victimize - I don't see a lot of people playing this spell but it has replaced all of my reanimate effects.

Violent Ultimatum - Mana hungry, but it wreaks serious havoc.

Garruk Wildspeaker - Ramps and threatens to overrun when you have a token army. Also plays defense well.

Liliana Vess - Reusable tutor, discard, and maybe one day I will land the -8.

Crucible of Worlds - Works great with fetches, LD (offense and defense), and cycle lands.

Lightning Greaves - Give a huge dude shroud and haste for 0 mana and you will be a believer.

Sensei's Divining Top - I haven't seen a deck that is too well oiled to play this trinket.

Skullclamp - When you don't play Islands you have to be able to draw cards somehow.

Sol Ring - Insane acceleration.

Sword of Fire and Ice - My favorite equipment thus far. When you are beating on a Jhoira player all you want to know is why they haven't scooped...

Grave Pact - Not fair with Skullclamp hijinks.

Lurking Predators - My favorite card in this deck. So fun to roll the dice everytime someone else plays a spell. Works so great with Volrath's Stronghold too!

Pernicious Deed - When someone has this card they control all of the action.

Phyrexian Arena - Fair card draw for those opposed to Necropotence.

Survival of the Fittest - Well if it is good enough to be banned in Legacy, it is perfect for this format!

Sylvan Library - You know when you top, and you think to yourself, "god I wish I could just pay 8 life to draw all of these cards!" now you can. It is the best card to cast on turn 2.
