Are there any EDH/Commander players in our community? It would be fun if there was like four and we could play a community game

1. I prefer the term "EDH". 2. I do play it, even though only in Paper.

I also think EDH is muchmuchmuch cooler name than Commander. But Commander is kinda official now, especially if you play online. I have one deck online and one on paper.

A lot of people don't have EDH decks online due to cost but there is a pauper version using common legends printed in one of the Master's Edition. The power level of the decks are more even as well.

Pauper commander is something that is very interesting too! I might try that! Is there somewhere a list of all possible pauper generals?

I play commander/EDH. Im building my first real life deck, Ghost Council of Orzhova, and as a placeholder i have Maga, Traitor to Mortals. Its pretty complete, in fact, but i used only cards i had and cards i got for the council. Online, i play on Cockatrice, since i have no MTGO, and there i have a variety of decks. on MTGO, i imagine regular EDH being quite expensive. Heres the list of common generals. magiccards.info/query?q=t%3A%22Legendary%22+r%3Acommon&v=card&s=cname

Thanks for the link! Will check it later today. And actually the price to get into format in mtgo isn't that bad. What I did that I bought one of the pre-constructed commander decks, Kaalia. Then I spent something like 15 tickets to buy few staples and some Angels, Demons & Dragons. Most of the stuff is pretty cheap, even the staples like Strip Mine, Lightning Greaves etc. are reasonable. So my deck cost me 30USD + 15 tix and many of the cards can be used in other Commander decks.

I also think EDH is muchmuchmuch cooler name than Commander. If I remember correctly, it had to do with WotC not being able to license 'Highlander', and since they already had Commander as an IP online... it made sense to use that instead. On Commander though, I actually have several decks, but only one online. It's one of the precon, but I never updated it. Heard too much horror stories about douchy players and bad decks. But if anyone around here would be interested in putting something together, I'd be interested. Something like Friday Night Commander sounds pretty damn good! ;D Actually... I'm on EST. For whoever else is interested, what is your timezone? Maybe we can set something up...

Just updated my Commander deck online. I am really poor at building commander decks But it is fun still. I will also buy those common generals and see what I can do with them. I am hoping next Commander product will have more common generals

Is this your Kaalia deck Matti? Do you have the exact list somewhere?

Is this your Kaalia deck Matti? Do you have the exact list somewhere? No I don't have exact list. Basically the list is "casual" and not very competitive. I have just added some spot removal and interesting Angels&Demons&Dragons to the precon. Also few ways to protect Kaalia. I might write the list some day I do have Iona in the deck. And if someone is being a jerk I will tutor it up and play targeting his primary color

The Deck is tweaked and ready to roll! Tomorrow I travel to parents to work on my school stuff for two days and I will likely play some commander at some point too
