 Energy!

So one of my very Favorite commanders personally since I started playing commander back in 2012/2013.

I saw the card Aetherwind Basker and knew there existed great potential for some great shenanigans. This lizard’s no Craterhoof Behemoth but the amount of energy it can create’s no small amount. Especially after slapping down an oldie but goodie personal favorite Progenitor Mimic.

  The uses of energy are varied and versatile but the two that interest me the most are Architect of the Untamed and Whirler Virtuoso.

The point of the deck’s to get a very silly over the top ratio of energy to amount of mana spent. These translate all that silly energy into creatures which with certain circumstances in play create more energy for those dreaded game winning infinite combos

The amounts of artifact copying doesn’t always come out on top so we added a few more which may also end up winning the game occasionally (hopefully)

Making sure there are enough creatures creating more Energy for you can be easy with the Fabricate mechanic but also two of the thopter creators from Origins like Whirler Rogue and Thopter Engineer. The utility of both of these creatures  provide can be especially awesome considering the interaction between Aetherwind Basker and Whirler Virtuoso. i.e. Attack, gain a bunch of energy, pop out two thopters, tap them to make basker unblockable and connect with a hopefully player eliminating hit.

  Having enough artifact creatures or being able to continue flicker some of these creatures to make two for ones much more useful especially with token doublers like Parallel Lives. Also making multiple instances of the Closet with all the artifact copying effects you can benefit multiple times from powerful enter the battlefield effects or just pile up some energy.

So there are all kinds of synergies and combos in this I suggest looking at it for yourself and maybe even build it or your own variant.

Until next time magic makers, thanks for reading.

You can view the Deck here: Twin Masters of Energy

Hello and our apologies about the complete of Posts! We had to find housing and a few other things but that’s squared away. So we’re going to get back to making Magic with all of you!

We’ll be posting about a Riku of Two Reflections commander Deck named Twin Masters of Energy before the week’s out We also got a few developments  with a Vlog we’re going to be starting (hopefully) next month. Also s…

So I picked Lord of Tresserhorn as our commander

With the Release of Shadows Over Innistrad we got an amazing token maker named Diregraf Colossus and considering all the creatures in the deck are zombies this will get real bad real fast making all your zombies two for ones and just wait until you drop a clone copying Diregraf Colossus. You’re going to want a lot of creatures for Lord of Tresserhorn to put on the chopping block for the sacrifice two creatures as part of his cost.

Diregraf Captain rocks hard by increasing the power and toughness of all your zombies on the battlefield including your commander . Diregraf Captain also makes it troublesome because when each zombie dies you can ding an opponent for 1 life. Having Deathtouch also makes him an excellent blocker and his cost of 3 makes him easy to recur with Crypt Champion. Fleshbag Marauder’s a must have in any Zombie deck and at three mana ol’ Zombie Fattycakes can be recurred with Crypt Champion.

Call to the Grave played earlier in the game can be devastating. Unless you are playing against other Zombie Decks you will whittle away at their troops super effectively with your ravnican signets and other bargain bin mana rocks.

For under a dollar you do have fewer options but Chain Reaction and In Garruk’s wake are Excellent board wipes

The interesting choices are Mob Rule and Reins of Power. Playing a Reins of Power then Phyrexian Ghoul or Nantuko husk to sac all of their creatures can be very hard to recover from but also sacrificing all of your creature then trading one huge creature for all their little ones could win you the game.

For a little bit of the voltron action we decided to include some long time personal favorites the Avatar Enchantments from Shadowmoor Block.

There’s other option in the deck if you don’t want to run Cap’n Chopping Block, None other than good ol’ Dragon Skull Sled Legs Thraximundar!

On top of the non-zombie creature your opponents sacrifice every upkeep they now sacrifice an additional to Thrax on the attack and tacking on any of the avatar enchantments just make him nastier and nastier. Imagine a 12/12 First strike, Wither, Haste, Shroud creature that when it hits you draw a card and your opponent discards a card. Beast.

You can check the deck out yourself here. Feel free to message or comment with any changes or improvements as you make them.

Until next time Magic Makers, Don’t forget to have fun!

I did Two Headed Giant with my partner at a local shop!

We got these 3 Mythics  out of our total of 16 packs

we got as these two as our promos.

We actually got a non foil Kari Zev as well and her monkey token AND 

so we  built Boros for me and Golgari for my partner considering we cracked

as well as a

for red we got some reckless racers and some decent vehicles,

I for one have always loved Tezzeret’s resourcefulness and am a big fan of the character.

Commander: While the Planeswalker Decks are pretty new the accessible planeswalkers aren’t half bad. In the right build Master of Metal could be a game ender in a Sharuum the Hegemon or Sydri, Galvanic Genius or even the new four color commander Breya, Etherium Shaper. You can be certain youre going to see…

Standard and Modern Bannings!

As a long time player I was a huge fan of threshold when it first made its appearance back in 2001 in Odyssey block. Emrakul the Promised End shined like a gem when I saw the spoiler and knew I had to had one for my Tasigur, the Golden Fang EDH deck.

It’s always surprising when a card gets banned in standard, though when an artifact set comes out we always see at least one ban (I’m looking at you…

Cat’s out of the Bag: Ajani!

Ajani, Valiant Protector who will be Released in the two Duel Decks that we get for each release and AJani Unyielding who will come out in the Set Release of Aether Revolt.

I have loved Ajani since Lorwyn, so I am super excited about the two new Ajani cards that are a bit over costed but provide excellent utility. Both of the new Ajani cards are likely to see in play in token strategies thanks to…
