I've been wanting a old school, original template General for a while now and was planning on Tetsuo Umezawa but never got around to building it. Too many duals, shocklands and overlap with my other EDH decks.
I love blue-black and thought it was weird I haven't made a UB EDH deck. I found the coolest old template UB General around. Ramses Overdark!
Once I started building this I quickly ran out of steam. Not good for EDH. Sure Overdark loves "returns to your hand" auras but what else to add? I decided to just go with an assassin sub theme (Overdark is now a 'Human Assassin'). I added the better ones and found they all tap to use their abilty so I added a "tap your ****" / "untap my assassins" second sub theme.
So now I have a tribalish assassin, auras, tapping/untapping creatues UB EDH deck.
I don't know if this is going to go well...
I'm currently at 98 cards counting Overdark.
My biggest concern is not being able to finish anyone off. I feel I need a few more bombs.
I'm pretty excited to get this deck together so I can start playtesting for an underused General. I'm sure a lot of changes are coming in the future once this is a physical deck.
I like dragon wings in my Ramses deck. Just cycle early and return it to play enchanting your opponents 6+ dudes in order to blam with your general. No one reads the card and realizes it can be put on anyone's creature that comes into play with 6+ converted mana cost.
