OMNATH IS IN DA HOUSE, CALVIN WORDS!

Hey all, this was requested by Brian aka @2sided3angle , and we talked about the deck for an upcoming Commandercast episode as well, so here is the current incarnation of Omnath.  I really, really, REALLY lowered the overall curve to compete in my meta-game, and took out a lot of the removal that was too slow.  Because I play against a lot of atypical builds, creature removal isn't as important as it used to be, especially not in the late-game.

The other major factor for the changes in the deck - fucking Prime Time Banhammar.

On Theme: Azorius Prison

One of my favorite decks that I have played recently was a pillow fort deck that punished people for attacking me.  Today, we are going to take that a step farther, and build a nice deck full of tax and prison effects.  Looking at the guilds we have left, Azorius fits perfect in both color options and flavour for a Prison Tax styled deck.

General Issue 2: In Which I Muse on Moustaches and Gimmick Decks,

On Theme : Izzet is boring.... needs more BEARDS!!!

So, I lied to the fine readers and listeners of Off Color Cast.  I will not be giving you an Izzet Deck list, because all the Izzet generals are boring as hell, and I am all about fun things that can’t win. So instead we are going to talk about another art related deck.

This one goes out to my Brother, who I convinced to spend money building one of my crazy creations in paper magic, and BeardyPlays on Twitch for giving me something to watch while I am at work.

So, here it comes ladies and gentleman, the manliest of all manly decks, so rugged it will shame a lumberjack.  This is the deck the most interesting man on earth plays, and it was fashioned from the beard hairs of Chuck Norris himself.

The Beard Deck.

General Issue 1: In which I Create and Play my own version of Tag Team Commander


           Tag Team Commander is a rules variant of a rules variant, a niche product for a niche market; Magic-playing wrestling fans.  It may or may not be for you.

           In a beautiful example of convergent evolution (or great minds thinking alike), at least three groups of players developed similar rules sets at almost the exact same time.  Inspired by Off Color Cast's Episode 19, I brainstormed a batch of rules, and sent them off in an email to the hosts of the show.  Captain Red Zone responded quickly to my email; I was not the only one to develop Tag Team Commander rules.

On Theme: Night of the Living Dead


In last week’s article, we talked about Tribal All Stars, and I mentioned that tribal decks were some of my favorites, so today we are going to look through the deck that I run weekly.  It is my go-to deck, and I have not had a bad game with it so far.  The deck is my Zombie tribal deck.  So we will take a look at it, and see how it works.


When starting to build this deck it started as Mono black, and then went esper, but finally settled into Dimir colored.  There are a surprising amount of Legendary Zombies to choose from, but I was building it during Innistrad block, so I went with the new face of zombies, Grimgrin, Corpse-Born.

On Theme: Tribal All Stars

One of the easiest and most prolific theme decks are Tribal Decks. Every format of magic has seen some form of Tribal decks, from merfolk to zombies. These decks are fun and fairly easy to build plus they are usually very synergistic. Now in the future we might explore certain tribes, today we are going to look at all star cards in any tribal deck, as well as some that specific tribe related cards that are part of a cycle.

On Theme: There's No Place Like Home

This week we are going to talk about a project that I have been working on for a while. The idea started at Gencon a year ago when I heard someone talking about a theme deck based on farming. This got me thinking about other themes, things based on non-game mechanics, and being from  the great midwest state of Kansas there is really only one thing that comes to mind.

Wizard of Oz.

On Theme - One Drops


There are two tenets of deck building when dealing with Commander that are fairly important to the format. The first is limitation - it is why the color identity was created. And the other is playing big fun splashy spells that you couldn’t in other formats. Building on a theme is one way of increasing the limitations, but today’s theme goes against that second tenet. Today's theme is limiting you card choice by playing only spells with the same converted mana cost. The deck I built is based around 1 drops, about the least likely card to play with in commander.

On Theme: Silly Hats


I have a confession to make to the magic community, I love silly or even stupid themes for decks. It is really the reason I still play this game. And Commander has given me the perfect arena to just throw silly at the wall and see what sticks. My favorite part of Commander as a format is the casual nature and the expansive card pool that makes it so easy to find interesting things to do.
