Between The sisters and savra, I prefer sisters of stone death. I'd put a bunch of dredge creatures in and ramp and dt and all that stuff. I'm guessing due to the dredge and other factors such as savra, there will be some res nonsense and some sacing but i'm not exactly sure how to go about this deck. I think dredge is a decent enough mechanic to use in edh. I'm not sure yet on how much to include.
I feel like their champion, circu, dimir lobotomist, would make an interesting general. Lots of exiled cards. szadek, lord of secrets is an option, but i feel like circu is just more interesting. It says this guild is about transmuting, which can be a great way to tutor but i'm guessing the rest is nonsense with putting cards in the gy/stealing/using/removing cards from the card with other u/b cards like mindleech mass,wrexial, the risen deep, and oona, queen of the fae
Lots of sacing and res. all that kind of nonsense. It's a good time. there are some broken combos in the deck, but i never play them unless i'm in a cuthroat game. teysa, orzhov scion is my general. but ghost council of orzhov works extremely well too. They just seem to be piloted a little differently in terms of how you build the deck. teysa has tokens in her build, where as ghost council usually does not. Or at least that's how I feel they differ in building.
seems to be the easiest deck to build. g/w tokens. check. just do not know which general to have. chorus or tolsimir wolfblood. I'm leaning towards tolsimir. he's always good, only a 6 cast. chorus would make an amazing bomb I think. convoke cards are always awesome and make perfect sense in a token deck.
This one is a tough one. niv-mizzet, the firemind is a great card, but he can win with too many single card combos. So I think I'm going to go with tibor and lumia. replicate is kind of weak in edh, i think. I intend on using a few replicate cards, but i think this mechanic is much like haunt. just not worth it in ehd.
Seems obvious. borborygmos big creature beat down. some land destruction, blood thirst. lots of pumps, always playing threats. shouldn't be too difficult. borbory wants tokens though... I don't want to go that route. ulasht, the hate seed, same rules apply. this makes me want to use stonebrow, krosan hero. I believe this is justified for a few reasons. those being the following:Gruul is not a untied guild. they just band together from time to time. stonebrow embodies a lot of what the guild is about-BIG THREATENING CREATURES FILLED WITH DESTRUCTION. they even say the guild only listens to borbor because he is the meanest of the mean. meaning, he should be a sometimes thing. as in, a bomb that gets played. I feel this is very fitting. even excluding ulasht makes sense because ulasht is not officially apart of the guild, just a symbol they look to because it is a lot of what the guild is about. This deck has some cards I wouldnt expect in it, mainly most of the artifacts. And I fear the creatures are done incorrectly... But For now, the deck stands as this.
grand arbiter augustin IV seems like the logical choice. control. That's pretty much what this guild is about. the one thing i wonder about is the champion isperia the inscrutable. Idk how many flying creatures I want in the deck. Although, having a little suite of awesome u/w flyers could be interesting. Especially having a few of the sphinx who would be absolute tanks in edh. the abillity forecast seems like a lot of fun to play around with. Shame there are not enough cool forecast cards.
This is going to probably be the most difficult deck to make. Hellbent sucks for edh and i think rakdos the defiler sure would make an interesting general. Nothing but punishment. all my bombs be demons, which is why i think rakdos would be cooler than lyzolda.
going to have to use momir vig, simic visionary. The Kraj just is not powerful enough to hold it's own most of the time. he would make a great addition to the deck. graft could be cool, but i doubt it. Kraj seems like it would make more sense because that was momir vig's secret plan of progression but those decks just are not very powerful at all...
So yeah, any advice or maybe you have decks that follow these themes you could show me would be cool. Also, am I missing anything important to each of these guilds?
Feel free to comment on ideas, card suggestions, or even post decks you make with these themes in mind.
I do pretty well with deck construction, but wanting to make 9 decks well when I know very little about almost half of these color combos (meanings I pretty much only play g/w/b. Very rarely do i use u or r.) will be quite a challenge alone.
The problem with a lot of the generals and ideas that would be fun to work with is lack of card base. Sure, generals like Savra and GAA are amazing, but if you wanted to use some of the other fun abilities Ravnica had (Graft and Replicate), there just aren't enough of them that are good.
But back to the point, each general can be a powerhouse. I know Savra is especially potent in creature-heavy metas, because she can just keep the board clean. There are several decks on here to base a design on for her.
Rakdos is one I wanted to make as well, especially with the Demon route. I just keep end up putting chaos cards into it since it represents the guild so well. o.o
Lyzolda is similar to Savra, or at least in some of the builds I've seen.
Momir Vig, Simic Visionary is my favorite general ever. If you build the deck properly, he can help you tutor a creature-based solution to just about anything. To me, this seems very Simic-flavorful, because you kind of build your own creature-army with lots of cool interacting abilities. If you need any help getting started, here's a link to my own take on Momir:
The decklists are put up. I notice i have bled cards into multiple of the decks. I can't tell if that's due to making the decks back to back or if they are just great cards to include. again, any help would be awesome
