![]() ![]() Toxic was introduced in Phyrexia: All Will Be One, so if you can get a creature with both Toxic and deathtouch to hit, such as Ichorspit Basilisk, you can stack on the poison counters. Even a one-mana-value creature, such as Moss Viper, will still give opponents two poison counters. And you don't need expensive creatures to have the deck function. Since his ability specifies combat damage, double strike will give someone four poison counters instead of just two, and trample with deathtouch will almost guarantee your creature deals combat damage. ![]() ![]() If you can give your creatures double strike and/or trample, it gets even easier than that. With Fynn out, you only have to hit an opponent with five deathtouch creatures to end their existence. Poison is one of the most heavily debated mechanics in EDH thanks to its ability to take players out so quickly. He introduced poison to a Standard environment where it hadn't been seen in years, is only uncommon, and costs two mana. Key cards to include: Smuggler's Copter, Clock of Omens, Clown Car, God-Pharaoh's Statue, Idol of Oblivionįynn is an interesting commander, to say the least. What option will you pick? A fast combo deck that crushes enemies in a pile of Treasures and creatures or a midrange build where you slowly grind out the table? Do you want to only have one or two big threats you cheat into play, such as Phyrexian Triniform or Graaz, Unstoppable Juggernaut ? Or would you prefer to build a big mana deck where you cast massive red spells, such as Apex of Power or Banefire ? The versatility she provides lets you find the exact build or playstyle you love. Aside from the unique tribal synergy, finding ways to tap her and other Dwarfs to generate Treasure and including threats to cheat from the library leads to an interesting deckbuilding puzzle. There are some expensive Dwarfs, such as Dwarven Bloodboiler or Dwarven Armorer, but a majority of them tend to be inexpensive, dollar-wise. Her ability to ramp you in red is unique and is the de-facto commander for Dwarf tribal. Her low mana value allows you to play her on turn two every game. It's no surprise that Magda is the second most-played mono-red commander on EDHREC at the time of writing. ![]()
