It's that time again! First let me give you a little background information... I've been playing Magic since 1998. I likely first heard of EDH around 1999. I actually remember 2-3 of the fellas at the shop talking about it. I had thought about playing then because I had traded for a copy of Arcades Sabbath. Due to the casual nature of this format, and the fact that most of my friends were pretty well into competitive play, I decided not to go through with it. Fast forward nearly 10 years. December '08/January '09: I lost my job and gained alot of free time. I learned the basics of playing EDH. I mostly netdecked a version of Rafiq, of the Many  . After the first couple games I realized that it wasn't the greatest and began making my own adjustments to it. 1v1 the deck lost only a handful of times. Then I looked towards a legend that I absolutely loved playing with when it first came out. Braids, Cabal Minion  . She proved to be the easiest deck I've ever made. I never netdecked for this, but due to my previous knowledge of playing her in an extended tournament it was a breeze. Then things got a bit tricky. I got a job, and had much less time to play again, and my favorite general got banned.(Rightfully so!) So what's going on with me now? Ever since the Commander Precons came out I've been back in the swing of things. I actually bought all 5 decks so that I could get my friends in on it. So after awhile when we decided what legends were all liked I decided to play Edric, Spymaster of Trest  . It went through alot of variations, but it's incredibly consistent and falls into a category of "too powerful". Most games either end with folks scooping up to my Winter Orb/Rising Waters or becoming 3-6 against me. While I don't feel too bad winning when it's 3 or more against 1, I do find it boring to always be the social pariah of the group. Next I tried to put together my old Kresh, the Bloodbraided  deck. I had originally designed it for 1v1 play. It never did alot in multiplayer but I don't feel like there was alot I could do to change it. I've given up on this deck for the time being. Next I played Trostani, Selesnya's Voice  . They're certainly cool, but there's about a 50% chance of just sitting there not doing anything for most of the game, and it seems like I never packed enough answers or just folded too easily to mass removal. So I've been looking for a new general to play with. I like decks that are fairly resilient but not unbeatable. So I've chosen to play Uril, the Miststalker  . Why? Because I've wanted to make a proper voltron deck and I've wanted to make a proper enchantress deck. In addition to that I wanted to play some land destruction to deal with some of the insane ramp strategies that exist in my playgroup. So here it goes, Please give me some feedback. Thanks! General-1 Uril, the Miststalker Creatures-15 Sakura-Tribe Elder  Qasali Pridemage  Gaea's Herald  Argothian Enchantress  Vexing Shusher  Eternal Witness  Yavimaya Elder  Silverblade Paladin  Solemn Simulacrum  Academy Rector  Acidic Slime  Wolfir Silverheart  Sun Titan  Aurelia, the Warleader  Woodfall Primus  Planeswalkers-2 Ajani, Caller of the Pride  Garruk Wildspeaker  Artifacts-6 Sol Ring  Talisman of Impulse  Talisman of Unity  Chromatic Lantern  Darksteel Ingot  Coalition Relic  Auras-10 Rancor  Spirit Mantle  Squee's Embrace  Unquestioned Authority  Shield of the Oversoul  Snake Umbra  Holy Mantle  Flickerform  Angelic Destiny  Runes of the Deus  Enchantments-6 Land Tax  Sylvan Library  Sterling Grove  Enchantress's Presence  Prison Term  Parallax Wave  Instants/Sorceries-22 Enlightened Tutor  Worldly Tutor  Regrowth  Swords to Plowshares  Krosan Grip  Boros Charm  Life from the Loam  Starstorm  Cultivate  Kodama's Reach  Naya Charm  Harmonize  Wrath of God  Armageddon  Retether  Cataclysm  Winds of Rath  Soul's Majesty  Three Dreams  Savage Beating  Wildfire  Razia's Purification  Lands-38 Command Tower  Savannah  Taiga  Plateau  Temple Garden  Stomping Ground  Sacred Foundry  Windswept Heath  Wooded Foothills  Arid Mesa  Verdant Catacombs  Scalding Tarn  Misty Rainforest  Marsh Flats  Flooded Strand  Bloodstained Mire  Yavimaya Hollow  Sunhome, Fortress of the Legion  Shinka, the Bloodsoaked Keep  Okina, Temple to the Grandfathers  Flagstones of Trokair  6 Forest 6 Plains 5 Mountains

Sidenote: I plan on foiling out all the creature auras and Uril.

Winds of rath! Oh snap! I completely forgot about that card.
Razias purification seems dastardly .... I like it.

Truth be told that's one of the cards I'd like to foil out also...but I like the idea of making all the auras and the general match.

Divine Reckoning  seems like it would be quite a good card one you get Uril, the Miststalker up there. Also I'd recommend a darksteel plate  just becasue indestrucible it always nice. Edit: Also Bear umbra  could do wonders in this deck. Canopy Cover  was one of my favorite It is my favorite Aura and has totem armor. Also you seem to be lackign another win con besides Uril, the Miststalker . I would recommend tossinng in either infect or another beatstick. Viridian Corrupter  < /span>  < span>  could work for this and so could Thrun, the Last Troll  .

The reason I play mana rocks is because of the 4 mass land destruction spells I'm playing. I could possibly be persuaded to play Khalni Heart Expedition  or Mirari's Wake  though. Also I exchanged what was originally Sylvan Primordial  for Woodfall Primus . Better against removal, my own and my opponents'.
