Zach will have to post his Teeg build. He goes aggro with it, to capitalize on the fact that teeg is so inexpensive.

Been waiting to see Zach's list for some time now, someone please light a fire under him or something.

Apparently he's in Austria right now, I'll try to get it from him when I can.

Idk if it's just me, but i think people on the source build their decks to piss other people off. Bc the cards they play make me think just that.

I play Humility. That tends to piss people off.

My group is composed of hardcore vintage players, or guys that only play EDH, so the games are really serious.

I don't feel bad bringing gaddock to a meta full of very competitive decks, no matter how seemingly un-EDH it is.

Considering the inclusion of Lost Auramancers and Idyllic Tutor to help fish out some enchantments. Possible cuts?

Recent Changes:
-1 Eight-and-a-half-Tails
+1 Elvish Piper

Partly because EaahT was underwhelming, partly because Elvish Piper is fucking amazing, and partly because I got a japanese signed one from Urzas for 3 euros and still don't own EaahT.

OP edited with this change.

8.5 Tails is REALLY good, but yeah Elvish Piper is stronger.
Normally, when a player in our meta decides to play Teeg as a general, they do two things.
They paint a HUGE bullseye on their head, AND they put you in a cage while poking you with a sharp stick.
They will be attacked first almost every single time.

This deck is strictly for 1v1 matches. I can totally see though how teeg would be first one dead in a multiplayer game though. Unless there was maybe a Mormir Vig deck or something else who can play full force with a teeg in play.

Then it would even be in his best interest to keep teeg around.

im not really positive on this one but i am sure that i have heard somewhere that teeg is banned as a general.

Teeg is legal as a general in EDH. On a side note, any news on Zach's list for Teeg?

Shut up! I'm working on it (I dismantled it for a Horde of Notions deck)(you'd be surprised how many cards overlap), but what I have together in MWS is like 89 cards after putting in like four cards that weren't in it to begin with.

Also, you guys are gonna be wicked disappointed - it's just a bunch of janky creatures that I hope to deal 40 damage with (or, I suppose, 21 damage from a pimped out Teeg) before one of my two opponents combos me out in a homo-erotic fashion.

I'll probably have it up before midnight.

EDIT: forget this. I can't make it 100 cards. I'll figure it out tomorrow or something.

I think it's 97 or 99 cards. And odd number, at least.

Okay - let me lay it all out for you guys. I play only against Dranlu (UB Long) and Azami (High Tide combo). So, not real big creature decks. Or, even, controly decks. So I can afford to be straight up aggro, balls to the wall. Without any sort of regard for my life total (as I'll get Belchered out, decked, or Tendrils'd out in one shot. I don't think I've ever been swung at).

Specific choices:

Terrible removal spells:

The only creature I have to deal with is Tidesprout Tyrant, and he doesn't attack, so I don't get the best removal spells. Actually, I can't think of many that cost three or less, 'scept Wing Shards maybe.
Condemn is a new card for our group, 'cause we (until recently) had funny rules about Generals. It's prolly one of the best removal spells I could run (as hiding Generals is pimp).

No control cards at all:

Seriously. I occasionally run into a [I]terrible Tereri deck, a Doran deck (wrecks me unless I can rush Teeg damage in via equipment or terrible draws), or a Jhoria of the Jhitu deck (which is just mana accel and bombs with like two removal spells).


Cards that I remembered were in the list while typing this, but was too lazy to add to this list (that I was so lazy that I had a buddy create and IM me):

Eternal Witness
Something else, but I forgot it like right as I was typing up this bullet. It'll come to me.
And I'll be way too lazy to put it in here.
Unless somebody makes me cookies.



Edit: too lazy to fix my lists.

Edit 2: but not lazy enough to edit twice

Zach, you might want to try this guy.

Efficient costed beats avoids all forms of removal. Good in this format IMO.
