This deck started as gag — Ashling + 97 Moutains + 1 Valkut +1 Expedition Map; aggressively mulligan for Map of Valkut. But, I didn't like losing all the time, so I have slowly added a few cards to enhance my chances. In the current iteration, I have actually won a non zero number of games. Take that, conventional wisdom!

These are not “tier” EDH Commander/Oathbreaker decks. My playgroup is very social. We enjoy powerful Magic, but also aim for the enjoyment of all players at the table (playing decks ranging from a 4-7 on the 1-10 power scale most of the time). As such, we don’t run many infinite combos, mass land destruction, hard locks, extra turn spells, etc. That’s not to say those cards/strategies don’t show up from time to time. On the whole, though, we run midrange strategies — prioritizing theme and flavor — which aim to win through the red zone. If a deck doesn’t appear “optimized,” that is likely intentional. That said, we are always open to constructive criticism and welcome dissenting views when presented respectfully.
