Official Elder Dragon Highlander [EDH] List of Format Staples
 Last updated: 16 September 2008
What are Elder Dragon Highlander Format Staples?
Building an EDH deck is never an easy job, even for experienced players. Decks are bigger and the card pool is wider than most players are used to. It is often difficult to know where to even begin. To help you out, the following is a list of format ‘staples’ that you should considering adding whenever you play their colours. They are not auto-includes, i.e. you do not always want to play all of these cards, but they are cards that are more likely to appear in good decks. Please feel free to suggest additions/alterations/removals to this list!

This was based of a few older lists, so there are probably going to be a few other cards missing, etc.

Very good thread idea, Conall! Are cards that put creatures on the bottom of its owner's library considered staples?

No in fact it's pretty terrible outside of some weird combo. Blue has much better options for card draw, and cards like Mind's Eye can be used in any color.

Spin into Myth should be on the list for sure, seeing as Condemn and Hinder both are.
