That's always possible though I'...Hi Devin,<br /><br />That's always possible though I'm fairly sure he did mention that he went in saying "I want to break the hell out of this" much like Sean McKeown did with the various version of decks built around Ad Nauseum. Having played Sam's version quite a bit, I came to the conclusion that it's an all "in deck" with no second mode. Occasionally you can get a chance to refill but you really want to crush the majority of the table ASAP with the deck or you'll get dog-piled. <br /><br />Excellent catch on Food Chain + Wanderer, btw.Zimagic (Owen)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05165154656461321097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2569086532982425053.post-75484388075343928392012-09-10T16:01:25.881+02:002012-09-10T16:01:25.881+02:00I happen to like this edh or well combo edhs in ge...I happen to like this edh or well combo edhs in general :p currently I have an edh with maelstrom wanderer where I put food chain in for giggles not realising that food chain + wanderer = play every spell from your deck.

He acknowledges pretty early on that it's not a casual or fun deck and that may be against the spirit of EDH.Matt Lucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00739033662658488141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2569086532982425053.post-26293023195272355732010-10-19T10:05:00.855+02:002010-10-19T10:05:00.855+02:00@DarkThaumaturge: It's probably the "Ever...@DarkThaumaturge: It's probably the "Everyone is doing it, why not me?" aspect. I have a mix of player types in my playgroup that you can turn up with anything and be welcome. I'm actually playing this deck with a couple of changes right now (I don't have a Natural Order, Tabernacle or Workshop) and, with each player you add in Multiplayer, its power level drops. In our 3-Man games last week it was pretty silly. <br /><br />We played a couple of 4-man games yesterday and it was actually fine. Once my opponents got on board with the idea that Eldrazi were likely to happen, they just dealt with it. Lignify on an early Ulamog, Bribery, killing Primeval Titan on sight. It was actually lots of fun playing into the hate because everyone was on board with the plan and how to defeat that plan.Zimagic (Owen)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05165154656461321097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2569086532982425053.post-43912259017322279892010-10-19T00:33:00.479+02:002010-10-19T00:33:00.479+02:00Good article - very insightful.

Sam B...Good article - very insightful. I like it. <br /><br />Sam Black sounds like the kind of person I would hate playing EDH with, though. He seems to be missing the point of EDH, which is "Fun", bringing with him that ultra-competative, win-at-any-cost attitude; while that serves him well in the tournament scene, around the kitchen table it makes for a miserable experience to other players. <br /><br />Then again, he's probably playing EDH with other cutthroat players, which is fine by me, if everyone is on the same level. It's just that I don't understand why players like this even TRY to play EDH. Really seems to defeat the purpose, if you ask me.Thaumaturgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07734372825472901455noreply@blogger.com
