hey guys,

recently picked up my interest in MTG again. I think I remember someone here one the board playing it, but I'm not sure. I need help with my deck idea

Ah yeah, it was myself, EP and Freedan who played!

I haven't played since Return to Ravnica, but I'm looking to maybe pick it back up again. I only really play Commander/EDH though, no standard decks here (and even when I do play standard, I play really weird decks that make people go "wait WHAT?!" because it's not what they're expecting!)

So yeah, I play a lot these days. Like WoW, Jacob got me back into this one. I only play casual rules none of this "tournament legal cards standard" nonsense. I have around 2000 cards (bought a lot on bulk Amazon) and depending on my mood and latest shiftings anywhere from 6 to 11 active decks at one time.

I had made a "Cycle of Death" series which I recently dismantled which was five decks that basically followed Dante's Inferno, with one deck in the middle as my own inclusion:

Death - Black Zombie/Undead Instakill Deck
Hell - Red Devils Burn Deck
Silent Hill - Black Control/Weaken Deck
Purgatory - Blue Control/Cancel Deck
Heaven - White Angels Healing Deck

I kept my Angel Deck cause its damned near unbeatable, at least in my playings of it. My current themed set is also a five-deck set themed around five key Planeswalkers. Other notable decks of mine include:

Amondeck - Amonkhet White/Black Mummy Deck
Kaladeck - Kaladesh Red/White/Blue Tech Deck
OG Red - Old School Red Deck, older cards only.
Wolves of Timber Gorge - Green/Black Werewolf Deck
Vampires of the Mist - Black Vampire Deck

So... yeah I have a problem.

I inherited a shitload of cards from my ex when he stopped playing. So between my own cards and that, I have... a lot. I haven't played in forever though, but I still have my EDH decks. Mayael is still a bitch to fight but I like my weird decks that make people go "...what." when they play against them.

One of my first decks was a deck that I never won with but always inspired fury from my opponents because it was a blue/white stasis and counter deck which basically meant my opponents could never cast a spell and any burn damage they did to me I could heal with cards like Angel's Mercy. The only downside to this deck was that I only had a handful of flying creatures in it and a few blue cards which created creature tokens when they countered and nothing to burn with so I basically had to mill the opponent or get really lucky.
