Oversoul
The Tentacled One
Back in 2019, I officially embarked on my journey of trying to build EDH decks helmed by each of the original 55 legendary creatures. Then in 2022, WotC released the glorious "Legends Retold." This gave us 20 brand new reimagined versions of a selection of the original 55. I was hooked immediately, and I've already built decks for 9 of the Legends Retold. Pretty cool, but it dramatically slowed the pace at which I can check off the original 55. In fact, it's July of 2023, and I hadn't been adding to my checklist at all. Until now, of course.
The Lady of the Mountain is a vanilla 5/5, but she's also a giant with glorious RKF art. It's been almost two years since I did a Giants Tribal deck. So let's do it again. That's about it. Not much to it. Giants are big. Giants are fun. This deck has lots of giants. Also, since my commander is explicitly "of the mountain" I've decided to also make this a Valakut deck. Just not a very good one. It's 2023, so this stupid deck will probably get trounced by a bunch of newfangled stuff. Oh well.
