Well both decks are play a 100 card singleton game of  EDH and depending on our hands and what we draw will always ultimately determine how it will play against any deck even an agro deck. But an agro deck usually means " i play more low converted mana costed pernaments and i play lots of single spot removal cards". So in EDH in a one on one agro does great but in a multiplayer game when 3 or more players are playing the agro deck fizzles out in the distance. Meanwhile my commander Multani, Maro-Sorcerer gets bigger. So to answer you question, yes the deck does well against the agro stragity because its not usually what I'd pick for a one on one. If it was a one on one I try to win the mana race and put out big fatties and smash the agro opponent. The deck preforms well without the commander cause of all the fatties and fight cads and abilities.

Thank you for pointing that out I had been meaning to fix that. I just fix it and updated the deck. I hope that helps

Deck Reviews / [EDH / Commander] Most underrated commander of all time?

Most underrated commander of all time

A Brief Description

big green creatures, mana ramp, card draw. i try to have fun and sit back looking innocent mana ramping and mass card drawing then i play big fatties and my commander. in a 4 player game he can easily be a 25/25.

Some combos, synergies, and win conditions:

if you don't know about this card (Triumph of the Hordes) now you know. This and my commander is a win condition.

If my commander dies and Nim Deathmantle is in play you can attach this to him and bring him back but now he has intimidate for the evasion.

Bellowing Tanglewurm works as well in a similar way.

Caller of the Claw works good with Nim Deathmantle so does Terastodon, Nessian Wilds Ravager, and Kalonian Twingrove.

Colossus of Akros, and my commander work great with Garruk, Primal Hunter's second ability.

Elemental Resonance notably is the best ramp card in the deck cause it can target not just your own stuff like Colossus of Akros, but your opponent's stuff too. Which is good if you want to put a target on another creature's head or someone's highly converted mana costed permanent.

Sword of War and Peace is good in this deck cause I can make people draw lots of cards from Howling Mine, Font of Mythos, and Otherworld Atlas. Oh and speaking of mass card draw who wants extra cards in your hand if most of them are lands? So I've added 2 creatures for playing extra lands, Sakura-Tribe Scout, and Walking Atlas.

this deck is not commander legal. --> prime time and painter's servant. i will keep reminding you until you pull them out. you know what is not banned from edh that you should run genesis wave

Dromar's bounce house of ETB fun feat Eldrazie's

I'm actually proud of this build, only problem I don't have 50% of the cards, but I got all the lands. Pretty cool idea. I got a bunch of creature that ignore color identity for beat down, and a bunch of creatures that do great things when they enter the battlefield. Making my commander and Equilibrium two very important cards. but the build is strong enough to be good without them.

Selvala, Explored and Returned with tokens

Selvala, Explorer Returned helps speed this deck. She gives you cards, life, and , to help you play big creatures and spells to create an army so large it overwelms your opponents. She is a huge advantage for making mana. Best part is, your opponents are always happy shes in play, that they dont kill her.

How it works

FOR BOARD WIPES: Akroma's Vengeance + Dauntless Escort , Dauntless Escort + End Hostilities , Dauntless Escort + Phyrexian Rebirth , and Dauntless Escort + Wrath of God . Switch out Dauntless Escort for Rootborn Defenses and/or Caller of the Claw. Elspeth, Sun's Champion's second ability can be used here too.

Juniper Order Ranger and Champion of Lambholtare the biggest creatures in this deck, here's how: Conqueror's Pledge + Juniper Order Ranger , Devout Invocation + Juniper Order Ranger , Increasing Devotion + Juniper Order Ranger , Juniper Order Ranger + Symbiotic Wurm , Juniper Order Ranger + Skittering Invasion , Hornet Queen + Juniper Order Ranger , and Juniper Order Ranger + Storm Herd .

MAKE AN ARMY WITH: Increasing Devotion + Sigil Captain , Conqueror's Pledge + Sigil Captain , Sigil Captain + Storm Herd , Sigil Captain + Symbiotic Wurm , Ant Queen + Sigil Captain , Elspeth, Sun's Champion + Sigil Captain , and Captain of the Watch + Sigil Captain . switch out Sigil Captain for Cathars' Crusade for a better army

MANA RAMP, LIFE GAIN, AND DRAW WITH: Instill Energy + Selvala, Explorer Returned and/or Nature's Chosen + Selvala, Explorer Returned , and/or Selvala, Explorer Returned + Wirewood Lodge Use this combo to make mass , more card draw, more life gain, and bigger spells. Selvala, Explorer Returned + Sword of the Paruns is creature good buff and could go infinite. Alhammarret's Archive makes it really easy to stay alive and win when paired with those combos.
Garruk, Primal Hunter's ultimate and Storm Herd are great in any situation in the above combos. Parallel Lives makes everything better.
Mirror Entity, for all the weak WEAK tokens. Buff them up for a strong attack or defence.

SPOT REMOVALS: Banishing Light, Prison Term, Oblivion Ring, Path to Exile, Song of the Dryads, BAM! colorless forest lol, Oblation less effective now that you can't tuck commanders, and Spear of Heliod. keep three mana open and make them think twice.

PROTECTION:Asceticism, Glare of Subdual, Druid's Deliverance, Michiko Konda, Truth Seeker, Constant Mists, Privileged Position, Spear of Heliod, Emmara Tandris, and Darien, King of Kjeldor.

CREATURE BUFF'S: Juniper Order Ranger, Sword of the Paruns, Jazal Goldmane, Mikaeus, the Lunarch, Mirror Entity, Sigil Captain, Spear of Heliod, Beastmaster Ascension, Cathars' Crusade, Intangible Virtue, Gavony Township, Mirari's Wake, and Elspeth, Sun's Champions ultimate.

Please dont suggest any of the following cause they are to much $$$. Rhys the Redeemed, Doubling Season, Brimaz, King of Oreskos, Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite, and Vigor.

TOKEN MAKING CARDS: Ant Queen, Armada Wurm, Caller of the Claw, Captain of the Watch, Darien, King of Kjeldor, Heliod, God of the Sun, Hornet Queen, Rampaging Baloths, Requiem Angel, Symbiotic Wurm, Trostani, Selesnya's Voice, Trostani's Summoner, Elspeth, Sun's Champion, Garruk, Primal Hunter, Khalni Garden, Grove of the Guardian, Awakening Zone, Midsummer Revel, Conqueror's Pledge, Crush of Wurms, Devout Invocation, Increasing Devotion, Martial Coup, Skittering Invasion, Storm Herd, and Parallel Lives.

My first EDH deck. It has gone through quite the transformation

A Brief Description: this is just a mono black, mana ramping, simi vampire themed, table friendly non competitive beatdown deck. Using just about all of my favorite black cards, without going way over priced. I think every card in here is less than 20 bucks, which i don't like to even come close to. 5 bucks is usually my limit, but most of these cards i bought when i first started playing, and didn't know exactly how much someone should be spending on an edh deck.

__________________________________________________________

At The Helm:

Kalitas, Bloodchief of Ghet is my commander in large multiplayer games. she goes really well with Akroma's Memorial. Most of this deck is centralized around killing creatures. Harvester of Souls, and Reaper from the Abyss, Are two best beneficiaries of creatures dying.

if im going for early board control then Kiku, Night's Flower is my commander.

if i'm going for the win i use Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief with mana ramp is pretty good

Mikaeus, the Unhallowed for reanimation shenanigans and fun stuff. I can attack my own stuff with kiku or drana if I have Grave Pact in play to make everyone sac a creature but I keep mine with undying. Kinda cool kinda fun.

Ob Nixilis, Unshackled works great against any deck that has a bunch of lands like Evolving Wilds that do not tap for mana but search for them. green deck hate, and five color hate.

__________________________________________________________

Card Draw, And Mana Ramp: because the mana ramp is so good in this deck, card draw also has to be important. once you get way ahead of the game with mana you'll empty your hand out pretty quickly, thats why i have multiple sources of card draw. Cards like Bloodgift Demon, Phyrexian Arena, and Erebos, God of the Dead. MANA RAMPING is good in this deck because you are able to get many of the mana ramp out pretty easily such as Crypt of Agadeem, Cabal Coffers, and Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx. Now because most of the cards in the deck have a high devotion. Its pretty easy to get Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx ramping better than Cabal Coffers. Also Praetor's Grasp is great for mana ramping as well, I can exile any of the above named lands form someone's deck and play it that turn, or there Sol Ring or there Gilded Lotus ext ext you get the picture. Other honorable mention are: Crypt Ghast, Extraplanar Lens, Magus of the Coffers, Nirkana Revenant these are just as good if not better, and other ones that are not on such a grand scale as the ones i just mentioned Such as Sol Ring, Jet Medallion, Scrying Sheets, Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth, Myriad Landscape, and Liliana of the Dark Realms although her ultimate will put you on a grand scale.

__________________________________________________________

Combos and Synergy: Harvester of Souls + Kalitas, Bloodchief of Ghet , Gatekeeper of Malakir + Reaper from the Abyss , Illusionist's Bracers + Kalitas, Bloodchief of Ghet , Erebos, God of the Dead + Liliana Vess to get that card you just tutored for... Indulgent Tormentor + Reaper from the Abyss ... say for instance some one was about to search their library and Ob Nixilis, Unshackled is in your graveyard, Whip of Erebos is a sneaky way to get him in just on the stack Ob Nixilis, Unshackled + Whip of Erebos is a neat combo... Crypt Ghast + Nirkana Revenant /Exsanguinate or Profane Command... this usually works Ghost Quarter + Ob Nixilis, Unshackled ... a great way to keep hitting for damage Akroma's Memorial add a whole bunch of deathtouch creatures for deathtouch, first strike, and vigilance. like to see someone get through that. Akroma's Memorial adds so many new dimensions to the deck like Akroma's Memorial + Kalitas, Bloodchief of Ghet , Akroma's Memorial + Reanimate , Akroma's Memorial + Army of the Damned + Demon of Death's Gate 's 2nd casting ability. Akroma's Memorial + Elbrus, the Binding Blade /any other creature really. Lashwrithe + Nightmare Lash thats a big living weapon. Blood Tribute + Sanguine Bond will kill at least one person if you have a vamp to tap. Sanguine Bond + Whip of Erebos , Exsanguinate + Sanguine Bond , Gray Merchant of Asphodel + Sanguine Bond , Akroma's Memorial is such a good card. what are they gonna do if you have Akroma's Memorial + Withengar Unbound that way too much evasion to stop this guys getting through. Demon of Death's Gate's 2nd casting ability Demon of Death's Gate + Grave Pact , Demon of Death's Gate + Dictate of Erebos , and Butcher of Malakir + Demon of Death's Gate ... enough combos for now. there's more but i'm not putting them all up here.

#StopHittingYourself

Yasova Dragonclaw

Take your stuff, hit you with your stuff, and sac your suff or maybe ill just keep it. Na nana na bo bo. :-P

________________________________________________________

HOW THIS WORKS: the plan here is to steal everyones best creatures, via commander, noncreature spells, activated abilitys, and/or creature spells.
To make creature spells more effective i put lots of copy spells, like Clone to copy my creature stealing creatures,like Zealous Conscripts. If i dont have a sac outlet ill just copy your really good creature such as eldrazi's or whatever. After i take your creatures til the end of the turn, I do what i want with them. I can hit you with them, then tap Bazaar Trader to keep them, or i can sac them to Birthing Pod or Jalira, Master Polymorphist to get another creature that could possibly steal another creature that i would just do what i want with.. I like being the bully.

________________________________________________________

STEALING STUFF

CREATURES FOR STEALING: Willbreaker, Conquering Manticore, Dominus of Fealty, Keiga, the Tide Star, Molten Primordial, Yasova Dragonclaw, and Zealous Conscripts. Feldon of the Third Path + Keiga, the Tide Star + Prophet of Kruphix to steal a creature every turn... Yasova Dragonclaw + Willbreaker steals a creature every combat in your turn. SORCERY SPELLS FOR STEALING: Insurrection, Mass Mutiny, Mob Rule. for instant speed Domineering Will. The only artifact for stealing, Helm of Possession. The planeswalker for stealing, Sarkhan Vol. Ashnod's Altar + Insurrection can also be used as a board wipe.

_________________________________________________________

MAKING STEALING MORE EFFECTIVE: Bazaar Trader keeps what i steal for good, so does Conjurer's Closet, and Deadeye Navigator... Cast Clone, Dack's Duplicate, Phyrexian Metamorph, Progenitor Mimic, or Stolen Identity and target any one of my own "creature stealing creatures" to steal more creatures... Use Mimic Vat and target a "creature stealing creature" to steal over and over again. Feldon of the Third Path will do the same thing... Jalira, Master Polymorphist is perfect for after stealing a creature, sac the creature to her and reveal the top cards til hopefully you score for another one that steals creatures too. Birthing Pod does this too in a similar way... Dominus of Fealty happens at the beginning of upkeep, so does Followed Footsteps... Cast Deadeye Navigator and pair him up with any of the good "creature stealing creatures" like Molten Primordial and flicker him with Deadeye Navigator's ability... Helm of Possession is real cool. Steal a creature, sac it to Helm of Possession and steal another creature for as long as Helm of Possession remains tapped... Cauldron of Souls is a cool way to sac your own creatures for the enter the battlefield effect to happen again like Zealous Conscripts. Splinter Twin is good on any "creature stealing creature", but is infinite with Zealous Conscripts. The Splinter Twin + Zealous Conscripts combo can be explained in detail in my Don't be Zealous (infinite combo) deck.

__________________________________________________________

SAC OUTLETS AND OTHER SIMILAR STUFF: Bloodshot Cyclops, Greater Gargadon, Jalira, Master Polymorphist, Demonmail Hauberk, Helm of Possession, Evolutionary Leap, Thermopod, Ooze Garden, Perilous Forays, Greater Good, Ashnod's Altar, and Birthing Pod. THE OTHER STUFF: Bazaar Trader, Conjurer's Closet, and Safe Haven.

__________________________________________________________

KEY CARDS: Birthing Pod, Helm of Possession, Phyrexian Metamorph, and Acidic Slime. Acidic Slime plays a Huge role in this deck. It works very well with Mimic Vat, and Feldon of the Third Path if it has died, but if it has not then any copy spell works great too. Other things that work great are Deadeye Navigator, and Conjurer's Closet. "Thats making the best use of an uncommon card". So if you're up against someone, they better exile Acidic Slime rather than destroying it, because my graveyard gets just as much use as what's in play.
