Random die roll for my final game last night hit Cochineal Storm. I ultimately lost with this one, but might have been able to squeeze out a win with different sequencing. Perhaps not. I had taken so much damage too quickly. My early drops were just Impact Tremors followed by Furious Assault...

After the win with Savagely Broke, I rolled a die to randomly pick my deck for the next game. Despite being a bit manadrowned, I had a lucky break. The player after me in turn order was running a deck helmed by Tymaret, Chosen from Death. Due to inexperience, he was activating his commander's...

The first game of last night was a five-player pod. This deck slowed down the wide boards of smaller creatures with Forktail Sweep into Dragon Breath, then started demolishing opponents with big attacks. I was able to hold up Bloodfire Infusion to retain the initiative and save myself from a...

This is my take on Gruul Stompy for PDH. It's pretty simple, with the distinction that I've paid particular attention to filling the deck with creatures that can be used cheaply in the early game, then hardcast later once I've ramped. That's why there are so many adventure creatures, creatures...

Khabál Ghoul hits extremly hard and keeps coming back. So far, only one of my wins used an infinite combo. However, I did build the deck so that it had multiple possible infinite combo lines available to it. And I'd better explain those, because most of them are not very compact, and therefore...

Some revision, replacing low-synergy cards with ones that I think will make more impact. -1 Ashes to Ashes -1 Oubliette -1 Syphon Mind +1 Death's-Head Buzzard +1 Drown in Sorrow +1 Pestilence

For the final game of Wednesday night, I tried this deck. I became a bit of an archenemy at the table and multiple players worked to keep Khabál Ghoul shut down. My friend seated across from me tried to finish me off, but I was just barely able to finish him off first. Weakened from my war...

Played this deck on Wednesday night. The whole pod had a sluggish start, and one of my opponents was playing his new deck helmed by Alexios, Deimos of Kosmos. I happened to have Cessation for that, which nerfed his capabilities a lot and bought me time. I went after another opponent, but got hit...

This deck's troubles continue. I was manascrewed and never really recovered. I'll be either retooling this one or scrapping it for a different deck. I'm thinking maybe Young Pyromancer could be a fun commander for mono-red. Or perhaps I'll try another two-color deck...

This deck got its first game on Wednesday night. I kept drawing lands and non-creature spells, but had practically no board state. My opponents focused each other that I was able to just barely hold on for long enough to finally draw Ramosian Liuetenant before it was too late. Because of how far...

I was challenged to build a Rebels deck in Pauper EDH. This is my take. Five common rebels can initiate rebel search-chains, acting as a toolbox. Among the searchable cards are Children of Korlis and Task Force, both of which have some gamebreaking combo potential with my commander, Vizkopa...

Brought this deck out for my final game of last night. It was the only normal four-player pod. I got hit by disruption from every side: countermagic, removal "in response" when I tried stuff, and eventually my options narrowed. A timely Gray Merchant of Asphodel brought my life total back up...

In Barbed Sextant we trust. This deck finally scored a win. I was in a packed pod: five players. I managed to use Shield Sphere and Welding Jar to hold off some early attacks, but one opponent became the archenemy at the table. When I was desperate, I activated Barbed Sextant a bunch and filled...

Last night I played Diseased Marsupial against the same opponents I'd just beaten with my latest deck, Impoverished Memory. And circumstances were very, very good for me. One opponent got stuck and wasn't really a threat. The other kept using damage triggers to wear away at both of us. And he...

So I got four games in tonight, and this deck was the first one piloted. I ended up winning all four games, so it was a good night as far as that goes. As for this deck? It's about what I expected. It can't generally keep up with the higher power found in faster-paced PDH pods, but against more...
