Finding the Elder Dragons

So, two weeks ago, I had the opportunity to play in my first EDH (Elder Dragon Highlander) Tournament. Before this tournament, I had not played a lot of EDH. And going to this tournament was not even planned. A few friends came over the night before and helped me put together a deck. It took a while to find a good general to use, but in the end Brion Stoutarm was our winner.

My favorite color combination in magic is Red and White. This EDH deck featured some of my favorite red and white cards. The deck featured Warp World, Lightning Helix, Balefire Liege, Dragon Mage, Mobilization, and Dragon Roost.

This tournament was multiplayer with grand melee rules. The Deck tested nicely, but I was the first player out. I was killed by Door to Nothingness. I admit that I did make a few play mistakes, but I also when building the deck, did not put in alot of artifact removal.

I'm taking this as a learning experience. Now, I know that I shuld include more artifact/enchantment removal.

If you have not played this format yet, I highly encourage you to do so.

Until next time, this is Deppe passing the turn.
