Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"This is the first deck I ever built for myself when I started getting into Commander/EDH in 2009. I've been updating it ever since.\n\nToday I use it to play against players who are new to Commander because I think it's fun for them to play against. Each big creature that I put on the board can feel like a challenging mini-boss that my opponents have to figure out how to defeat. Every once in a while I will be able to produce multiple creatures at once using effects like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Selvala's Stampede"}},{"insert":" or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Illusionist's Bracers"}},{"insert":" attached to "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Mayael the Anima"}},{"insert":", but these are never game ending on the spot. If my opponents can overcome these challenges, they tend to feel pretty good about themselves and have a good time. I would recommend a deck like this one to anyone who feels like their decks are causing them to lose friends, or for anyone who wants to introduce new players to commander.\n"}]}
