I've been working on EDH decks since my other friends play it and it's a lot of fun. Basically get to reuse cards you own and can find some nice $1 cards to fill it. If you really want to spend the money you buy some of the rare cards and dual lands.

Oh yeah, the decks I'm working on are mono white, black/green/white, and a red/blue deck.

Link to site for rules

Still trying to wrap my head around this and understand how EDH works, but WHY HAS NO ONE TOLD ME ABOUT THIS!? This format sounds REALLY interesting, and yet I have heard no one talk about it anywhere. I saw that Alternate Universe was having a Peasant EDH Tournament and I didn't know what the EDH stood for, so I Googled it and lo' and behold I found this format which had been tucked away for some reason out of my sight.

I MUST PLAY THIS FORMAT NOAW!!

I was big on EDH when i met this playgroup, but they were more in touch with the "big deck" idea so i tore my EDH deck apart for the big deck format.

There is another EDH thread in this subforum with the rules posted just a few posts below yours actually, but didnt garner much attention.

I have an EDH deck together and im always interested in playing.

www.mtgsalvations.com has a pretty big EDH subforum discussing the best generals and combolicious EDH decks.

I recently built an EDH deck too. Good to know next time we're pared against each other and the round ends early due to one player absolutely trouncing the other, James.

The good thing about EDH is that it CAN be cheap. I mean, a lot of the cards that are EDH staples are junk rares. It can also be ridiculously expensive (Underground Sea, Sol Ring, Umezawa's Jitte, go).

Probably should have looked before posting. I got all excited xD

I would go the route of making a cheap deck. I do like the 1 card rule, which I know is in Big Deck as well. It means not needing to find 3-4 copies of a good card which saves me time and money.

The general part still confuses me. I understand the deck construction and that you can only have color that the General is and that the General has to be a legend, (which doesn't mean it has to be rare) but what about if I use THIS GUY? Would my deck just need to be 100 cards of any color or would each of those cards need to be WUBRG?

That would be a tiny EDH list:

Atogatog
Child of Alara
Coalition Victory
Conflux
Cromat
Fusion Elemental
Genju of the Realm
Horde of Notions
Karona, False God
Last Stand
Maelstrom Archangel
Maelstrom Nexus
Progenitus
Reaper King
Scion of the Ur-Dragon
Sliver Legion
Sliver Overlord
Sliver Queen
Transguild Courier

Your deck can only use the colors of your General's mana cost. So that means if Reaper King was your General, you can use any color cards. On the other hand, if your General was Rhys the Redeemed, you can't run Momentary Blink. And you can't run a General that uses a different color from its mana cost in an activated ability (such as this guy).

Ah, okay I see now. I'll have to make one and see how it works.

Looking this over has actually given me an idea for a new format ... I just need to figure out how to make it work ... I'll tell you guys my idea tonight and see how you guys feel about it.
