[Fedoras of Salvation] - White Knights ITT

[Dechs Kaison]

Agreed on both counts. Screw Boros, add blue and go Pristaxcontrombmodruu.

[Dechs Kaison]

It's the only EDH deck I'm aware of to have won with Battle of Wits.

[Jack]

Also, having an end-goal in mind for what decks you want is kind of a backwards way of looking at it, to me. The way usually works is that you discover a card you want to build a deck around, and you do it. About 6 packs of dragon shields later, you start to think you may have a problem.

[Dechs Kaison]

Tajic is my second favorite general. It's just that no one likes it when I Obliterhaups.

[Dechs Kaison]

Angelic Overseer is clutch, but more so was the heavy mana rock package I put together. There were days where a turn three Armageddon was the correct play.

I don't run a huge equipment package, though. I have Worldslayer and the hasteboots, but nothing to tutor for them.

[Dechs Kaison]

I also put in a heavy dose of "You can't play the game the way you want to" things like Torpor and Winter Orbs, Stranglehold, and Meekstone.

[Platypus]

Agreed on both counts. Screw Boros, add blue and go Pristaxcontrombmodruu.

What's the thing with that deckname btw?

[Dechs Kaison]

Agreed on both counts. Screw Boros, add blue and go Pristaxcontrombmodruu.

What's the thing with that deckname btw?

It's kinda prison. It's kinda stax. It's kinda control. It's kinda combo.

It's all Zedruu.

[Dechs Kaison]

Oh, I played swords, Sunforger, equipment tutors, and board wipes with indestructible dudes.

Yeah, see, I tried that. But somehow it always turned into "Well, I could tutor for X, but at this point I'd be better off with Worldslayer."

It's kinda prison. It's kinda stax. It's kinda control. It's kinda combo.

It's all Zedruu.

Also, it's really fun to say it.

Pristaxcontrombmodruu.

And type it.

Right, now that you said that, I remember seeing the explanation before.

Looks like a fun deck, too bad I don't play Commander.

Do you build your deck differently if you don't plan on winning an event... you only care about hitting money?

[Dechs Kaison]

Do you build your deck differently if you don't plan on winning an event... you only care about hitting money?

Is this directed at me? What do you mean?

[Jamie]

I mean I heard someone here post something about sligh decks "You play the deck to run hot and win events". As if he was saying if you planned on a safe 100% money finish you would not play that deck. Is the idea that you would play a different deck for winning an event to placing well just too ridiculous or is there actual merit to the idea?

[Lightning_Dolt]

You should play more blue. It's probably the most fun color in EDH.
Boros lacks unique generals.

[Platypus]

There's nothing wrong with playing blue, as long as you play UR Delver or UR Storm...

[Jack]

Blue in EDH doesn't have to be oppressive, though. The only hard counterspell my Riku deck plays is free. Mostly, I just like blue for the card draw. Fact or Fiction is really, really good.

[Jack]

I love my Riku deck so much. It's pretty much Kiki Pod, but it has more combos, plays green cards that hit like locomotive, and RIKU!

[Jack]

Riku Pod. That's what I'm calling it from now on.

[BlakLanner]

EDH, the only format more capable of making my wallet scream in terror than pimping my Legacy deck. On that note, Sliver Overlord 4 lyfe, yo! /failthug

[Dechs Kaison]

S'cool. I run Ruination and Blood Moon.

[Dechs Kaison]

Favorite EDH lockdown card: Mana Maze.

[BlakLanner]

I have mana slivers to help with the geddon/blood moon stuff. My deck is decent but not designed for hardcore competitive (casual format and all) but it certainly cost more than all my current competitive decks (Standard, Modern, and Legacy) combined.

[Dechs Kaison]

Yeah, same thing happened to Pristaxcontrombmodruu. I spent more money on it than I want to think about. And yeah, totally not built to be competitive. I mean, come on. My main win condition is Enduring Ideal.

[BlakLanner]

The creatures are relatively cheap. The expensive part is the whole "10 dual, 10 fetch, 10 shock" manabase

[redthirst]

Or play green and have no issue with your 3-color $20 mana base.

On the other topic, I've heard of playing a deck to top XX, but I always assumed winning the whole event was still the real goal. I suppose if you had to choose between a deck that was something like a 10% favorite to win but a 80% favorite to place and another deck that was 20% to win but only 40% to place then I could understand taking the one that had a much better chance of getting in the money... but I never really think about it like that. I just play what I'm most comfortable with or what I feel is over-all the best deck.

[Dechs Kaison]

Or play green and have no issue with your 3-color $20 mana base.

Or you could go fuck yourself and the green you ramped in on.

[hamfactorial]

You guys need to check your Commander privilege!

/SJW

[BlakLanner]

When Slivers is the fairest deck at my table, I hardly consider it privilege.

[Dechs Kaison]

Wait, you actually play slivers? You don't have the Overlord as a placeholder for 5c Hermit Druid?

[BlakLanner]

But of course. List is in my sig. I could probably use a bit of work but I am focusing on competitive formats for now.

[GoblinWarchief]

You should fit in some aggro and tempo cards in your pristaxcontrombmodruu deck

[hamfactorial]

You guys need to check your Commander privilege!

/SJW

Cis, Shitlord
WW
Legendary Creature - Human Male Strawman
First srike, vigilence, lifelink

Privilege (When this creature enters the battlefield, you may choose any number of equipment or aura cards from the battlefield, your library, hand, graveyard, or exile zone, your opponent's library, hand, graveyard, or exile zone, from cards you own outside of the game, and from cards from other games, and attach them to it).

When Cis, Shitlord becomes the target of spells or abilities, sacrifice it.

4/4

:rate6:

You done real good, Maverick.

[redthirst]

I check my privilege every day just to make sure it's still there.

Cis should put an 0/1 black friend token into play so people know he's not racist.

[hamfactorial]

I'm not racist, my other deck is mono-black!

[Lightning_Dolt]

I check my privilege every day just to make sure it's still there.

Cis should put an 0/1 black friend token into play so people know he's not racist.

That's why I have to put stoneforge in my mono white edh. To fetch the 0/0 black token that comes with batterskull.

[Kaitscralt]

fuck you

[Lightning_Dolt]

Kait got sensitive all of a sudden...

You probably want Mind's Eye
Sublime Archangel could also be good.
You may find the anthems to be bad.
