This blog is about all things Commander and other casual formats for Magic, The Gathering. I will offer up deck lists, new strategies, and try to provide newer players to the game with helpful advice.

Empress Galina

So I decided since everyone else I know was making a stupid deck that was fairy degenerate I figured that I should join in on the fun. I decided that I would just play some mono-blue deck. I just got Empress Galina from my friend and figured what the hell why not. The deck was built from an artifact shell. Some might say that if I'm doing mono-blue artifacts than I should just play Arcum Dagsson as the commander. I really dont like the way that Arcum runs as a deck. Its to consistent and gets really boring after you play it a few times.

     The way that I built the deck has a little more control elements to it. It has plenty of counter-magic and it has a lot of ways to get things that are problematic off the board. The best ways for me to deal with problems is usually an All is Dust. It kills almost all of my opponents things and it even leaves me with all my artifacts. Another thing that I use to my advantage is Nevinyrrals Disk which has been wrathing peoples boards for years.

    As for its ability to win it has several options. The option that is the most fun is just taking peoples commanders with Galina and using them to kill them. It is an ironic way for people to die. The other wins cons consist of a Mindslaver lock or from taking infinite turns with time walk, Mnemonic Wall, and some bounce effect.

   Over all I really enjoy the new deck and plan on using it a lot more.
