So...something like this?http://www.mtgvault.com/siltrin/decks/chair-force/This is a friends deck BTW. Maybe it'll give you some ideas?
thank you for the link, that looks like a really interesting deck, and it did give me a couple of ideas. i appreciate it :)
Appreciate it. Make sure to drop my friends deck a like. He'd like that
How about the new horse lord in Hour of Devastation? He gives you a 5/5 with indestructible for every turn you gained life. I would like to try to a couple other cards.Drogskol Reaver - Handy late game drawTutor bullshit - This is almost mandatory. You need to be able to pick & choose your best wincons. With only 5 out of 99, you need to draw 40 cads to hit two wincons (I say two because there will probably be some control bastard such as myself). You probably know these, but if not you can check out my WIP EDH deck, which has many tutors.Archangel of Thune - An amazing card in any life gain deck. Must I elaborate?Blood Artist - Not quite sure on this one, gives you life on separate triggers, and it should happen a lot in a multiplayer environment. You also gain all the life from a board wipe spell, so he should be a sideboard at least. Cliffhaven Vampire - Annoying. Possibly add it, up to you. Any life outlet - There are so many of these, I'm not going to list them all. You will have a lot of life, but that just makes you a tank without DPS. You need a way to transmit some of your huge health into board presence. Really, anything that lets you spend a lot of life to get an advantage is worth running. Do some poking around.
Archangel of Thune : i would LOVE to have in here but sadly i can't afford the price tag :( the cards i have in here i've collected over the years and was lucky to get them when they were first released or from pre made commander decks Tutor : i agree on ( i just need to figure out what to take out to replace them with) Cliffhaven Vampire : i had in and i like it i took him out in replace of war report since i didn't know what else to take outDrogskol Reaver i have in there ( for the exact reason you mentioned... great minds think alike lol ) i have a Blood Artist to put in there, i just need to figure out what to take out to replace them with and like you .Crested Sunmare i would love to have in here.. i just need to get one :/ i really appreciate the ideas, they were honestly very helpful. thank you :)
Sorry, I didn't see Drogskol Reaper. Honestly, Cliffhaven isn't that good. His only use comes in triggering multiple life gain effects. Blood artist is super good, definitely put him in. Here are a few ideas that I had, they are in no particular order. I added a tl;drs to each suggestion to help you sort. [cut] Blood Seeker - No life to be gained, and the damage is so minimal to a player with 40 life. [replace] Dissolve - EDH tends to be a longer game, and getting value from Dissolve will be a little inconsistent. I would swap in Negate, it can counter everything but creatures (which honestly aren't that scary), and it works no matter what. No scry, but nothing is worse than being unable to Dissolve their wincon because they have an open mana or two. [maybe cut] Sierra Avatar - She can get MASSIVE, but she'll get instantly nuked the second she enters play (if she even manages that). It's true that you'll get her back at a later date, but she could be swapped for a more reliable wincon (if you can find one) [swap] Celestial Mantle - A great card, I would swap it out for another life giver. [must have]Swiftfoot Boots/Lightning Grieves - I would run both to protect your wincons. Especially good with my other wincons further down the list. Possible one if you're having trouble making space. [good]Necropotence - At almost 8 mid, it's moving up the price totem pole (idk what your budget is), but it's basically play it at high life and win. [good]Sunbond - It can turn any card into a wincon. Super cheep too! [amazing]Phyrexian Processor - Cheep as well, it is a great life outlet! Just try to wait out the counters/artifact hate. [meh....]Birthing Pod - A nice tutor, a little bit pricy. You can just pump your life into him (instead of green mana). He's just a passing idea, I'm second guessing him now. [interesting]Book of Rass - A broken card! You can get so much draw with your mana rocks and ramp, it's a great mana outlet as well. [annoying AF]Glacial Chasm - This guy effectively can keep the board locked down from creatures indefinitely. Just keep a keen eye on removal and non-creature win-cons.Idea: it may be worth it to cut some of your less powerful cards in place of these wincons. Here are a few good cards that aren't good enough. [cut]Patron of the Kitsune - Good. But his life gain isn't as good as some of the others, and you want to mix wincons and life gain. [CUT HIM!!!!!]Pontif of Blight - Definitely subpar. Cut him! [cut and maybe cut]Victory's Herald/True Conviction - These two do similar things, I would cut herald and consider cutting conviction. You have a lot of life, he doesn't give you a lot (many of your cards don't attack, or if they do they may have lifeline already). [cut]Sorin, Grim Nemesis - It's getting harder. That Sorrin is good, but for six mana you could put in a more definitive wincon. [cut, unless you have a great repeatable combo that I don't see]Mirage Mirror - He (or it? Who cares, I call everything a him) gives you potential for interesting life gains, but inconsistent and requires something good to copy. [cut]Sphinx Sovereign - A great card, but at 7 mana you can get much better.Control - I'm slowly turning this deck into a control deck, but I think that with counters you can better protect your key cards. Maybe just add one or two. I would also add a board wipe or two, it'll help you against very agro decks. Remember, because of your high life total you'll come out on top of a board wipe (usually). I won't list control cards, but I have a control deck in Esper that could be interesting.I included my control deck for you to look over, feel free to lift any ideas. If you don't want to support a self-adversing bastard such as myself, feel free to ignore the link (at the bottom of the comment). It's still a work in progress, but I'm fairly happy with it. I have no budget, this is the kind of deck that I'm never going to actually play IRL. Remember: I love control. I'm giving you suggestions that will increase the consistency of the deck through protection and addition of wincons. I also wouldn't add every wincon I suggested, just pick the ones you like most. Also don't go crazy cutting life gainer, I would have no more than 15 wincons and no less than 10 in this deck (less the more tutors you add). Above all, make sure that the deck is still fun to play!http://www.mtgvault.com/exterminator5000/decks/edh-control/
One last thing: rename the deck! You have a really boring name. The better the name, the more views & comments. I just looked at the deck because it had the same commander as the deck I was working on at the time. Call it something mildly snappy, or at least something that gets the idea across. Saying "deck idea" describes pretty much every deck ever made.
Name changed. Now it's http://www.mtgvault.com/exterminator5000/decks/esper-the-city-of-combos/
