Deck Reviews / [EDH / Commander] Marisi, Breaker of the Coil Stax

« on: September 16, 2019, 10:49:54 pm »

So, I'm currently playing around with a Marisi Prison-style deck, trying to tweak it here and there. I'd normally run it as a Gaddock Teeg Stax deck, but I wanted to try something different with this one; so every card that isn't a land will try to fulfill the requirements of being an... "odd card". Essentially, non-meta cards for the sake of playing with a deck that runs really well using cards that are almost never seen by people/my LGS. However, some are obviously non-negotiable and need to stay in because they're 'that good'.

If it matters, the average power level of my LGS is around 70% cEDH. For example, I have/(had?) a fully powered-up Urza, but I toned it down because I have more fun making an army of unstoppable robots. So, not everything needs to be top of the line, I just want ideas on how to run this a little more streamlined than I currently have it.

If a more "popular" card would fulfil a combo, or a slot more effectively, I'm very interested in that as well; I don't want anyone suggesting things just because it fits the roll of non-meta. Thanks for any comments!
