What EDH do you play?
Asked by dazodiac
Braids, Conjurer Adept “Group Hug” - but it has 4 ridiculous combos no one sees coming as your win cons. It has Shapeshifters, clones and Wizards as a creature sub-theme against people abusing their Legendaries.

What kind MTG player am I?
I get asked this quite a few times and a lot of times people assume I just play competitively, casually or kitchen table only. It’s a little of each, but I do know my way around some cardboard tech!
Well to clear things up, I started playing MTG during the summer of 1995 with my best friend. We would spend hours at the comic shop sorting through the commons and uncommons since that was only reasonable within our budgets at the time (Jr.High). So you can imagine, all the junk commons and uncommons from revised/dark/HOMELANDS/Fallen Empires.
My first actual deck was a White Weenie build with White Knights, Serra Angels, Order of the White Shields, Swords to Plowshares, etc. Since I didn’t have the cash for actual game closers like Armageddon, I used Eye for an Eye. Often times, it worked out well since people tried racing me with Drain Life, only to find themselves in the same spot still racing.
I made quite a few decks during high school, but I only participated in non-sanctioned events at J & J comics in Santa Ana, CA and various, but now closed hobby shops in Orange County. During my time from 1995~2001, I made a few Standard and Extended decks, which is one of the reasons why I’m not interested in Standard anymore. The cards you grew up with would just be rotated out in a few months and you end up buying a whole new deck every year. So I’ve kept the decks as is and haven’t dismantled them out of nostalgia. My favorite out of them is anything with White in it.
Since coming back to the game in 2011, I’ve made quite a few new decks and traded away a lot of “junk rares of yesterday” like Lion Eyes Diamond to fund a proper competitive Legacy deck. I attempted to play standard again by buying the Vampire Onslaught Event deck, but that was only legal for 2 months before the whole thing got rotated out. Thus making me despise the Standard format even more.
I currently play and teach MTG with some of the local Marines in San Diego and occasionally, I’ll bring my decks to a LGS. I usually play with people I know or my old high school friends over Skype. So if anyone on tumblr wants to, you’re free to play with me. I’m not worried about cheating since that sort of defeats the whole purpose of playing for fun.
The number of decks I currently own are about 19 (not including my EDH deck). Here’s a list of them for those who are curious!
1996 - Shivan Dragon Ramp, Ernie-Geddon, WW, Necro
1997~2001 - Draw-Go, Empryal WW, Sucide Hatred, Sligh
Pauper (MTGO legal) - WW, Mono Blue Faeries
Legacy Casual - Megrim Deck, Green Stompy, Mono Black Control, Scepter Chant, U/W Control, Reanimator, G/R Fires
Legacy Competitive - U/W Stoneblade
Modern Competitive - B/R VampiresIt’s hard to say which one is my favorite, though I have some of my best times with Empryal White Weenie since it wreaks multiplayer games. In terms of sheer power, my U/W Stoneblade is pretty up there.
