Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"I've had an Anje Falkenrath/Worldgorger combo deck since the deck was released and then later featured on Commander's Quarters (I don't know if we still speak about them). I kept it as my cEDH deck, but it I very rarely play cEDH at my shop anymore; so I've been looking for a new madness commander for while.\nI played Amber in a draft at Commandfest Birmingham and released how fun she could be as a madness commander.\nThe deck is basically a lot of madness cards, token makers, additional evasion granting cards (just in case), and ramp.\nThe main win cons are Amber Commander damage, passionate archaeologist damage and value. When playing the deck, you just have to keep going to combat and keep adding to the board each turn and hope that no-one draws a board wipe.\nThankfully a lot of the madness cards help control the board state, so hopefully you can last into the long game.\nThe best part about playing the deck is that you can't hang onto anything in your hand. Everything has to be used or lost forever. Sometimes that can be a bad thing, but who cares you'll be getting three new cards every combat.\nThe deck is a 5. It works well when it's working, but as soon as someone finds a board wipe you're up shit creek without a paddle. C'est la vie.\n"}]}
