I was going to throw a load of old cards out as I tend to only play EDH these days, and thought I'd build a bit of a budget deck aimed at players new to EDH. Its got a splash of the staples, a bunch of random jank rares, and I'd like to think it captures the spirit of blue in EDH without being too much of an annoyance. Its more for those who wouldn't mind getting into EDH but aren't
sure where to start, and I think this would be a good base to build from. Feel free to criticise, just remember its meant to be budget, and its not meant to be an amazing deck!
EDH, on the other hand, is more like a monster truck rally. It's more about the spectacle than the race, the games go long, and it's not usually clear who's in the lead until there's only one truck left.*
Single player EDH is like two guys smacking each other with pillows... until one of them pulls out a shotgun.
EDH:
Currently Piloting:
Dama, Sage of Stone | Karador, Ghost Chieftan | Sigarda, Host of Herons | Elbrus, the Binding Blade / Withengar Unbound | Grand Arbiter Augustin IV | Genju of the Realm | Ruric Thar, the Unbowed
I agree, it does seem to lack a bit of a win. The plan is to give it a bit of a tweak then pass it onto someone new to EDH for them to develop themselves, and there's no way I'm giving a new player my foil capsize:P
