Mayael the Anima Commander/EDH Deck

Here's a legend with a nifty ability just ripe to use as a commander. Mayael the Anima has a low mana cost and a powerful ability - six mana can net you some of the largest creatures ever to see play!

Since this is a Commander deck, we already know what colors we have to choose from. Green is king of the beasts, while red and white have some great additions as well as removal options.

Mayael's throwing a party of the biggest and baddest, so let's see who's on the guest list!

Jolrael Commander/EDH Deck

This deck focuses on getting as many lands out as possible then using them to beat the opponent down!

Not only does this commander's ability want you to have a lot of lands out, but so does many of the other cards in the deck.

You will definitely have to watch out for any major land destruction players, as they will cripple this deck severely - as this list doesn't yet include a sideboard, you may want to keep this in mind when building your own.

And now the list!

EDH becoming "Commander" - Gets Love from WotC

Aaron Forsythe's recent article from MagictheGathering.com shows some big things happening to the Elder Dragon Highlander format.

For starters, it's now officially known as "Commander", though the EDH term will likely still remain a popular title. Also, Wizards of the Coast has been working with the Rules Committee for EDH to get things set in motion.

Part of the announcement involves WotC's "hands off" approach to the banned list, as well as the introduction of a new multiplayer product coming out next year made especially for the format.

Borborygmos EDH Deck "History of Beatdown"

This deck features Borborygmos as its commander, but really any red/green legendary creature could suffice. It's not so much about the commander as it is the rest of the deck here.

This is what I call a "history" deck because not only is it Highlander format, but it also contains only one card from every set up through the Zendikar block. The original version of the deck was only 60 cards and stopped at the oldschool card format, thus I called it a "history" deck.

Not only will I display the deck, but also the set each card is from. Building a history deck is very challenging as you must pick one card from each set that fits your deck theme... then you have to go collect any cards you're missing which can be a task for those older sets!

On to the list!

Ob Nixilis EDH Deck

Here's a monoblack Elder Dragon Highlander deck featuring Ob Nixilis, the Fallen as the deck's commander.

There are a number of other legendary creatures in the deck, so you can pick and choose which one you want as your commander. I tend to stick with ObNoxious, I mean, Ob Nixilis as my commander because of some of the landfetch cards I have in the deck.

For those unfamiliar with the EDH format, the deck is exactly 100 cards with one of them being the commander. The commander must be a legendary creature. In addition, you can only have one copy of each card (excluding basic lands).

The format is a great deal of fun and is often played as a multiplayer format. I highly suggest checking it out.

Here's the EDH DB List. Play these cards if you want to make enemies fast, avoid them if you're looking to actually make friends while playing EDH.
