@@narkfly Commander is Gor Muldrak, Ampbiologist. With him, the goal is to make sure the opponent has as many Salamanders as possible, whether they want salamanders or not. You do this off his effect, which puts a 4/3 salamander into play of whoever has the least amount of creatures at the end of your turn. You can also forcable turn other creatures into Salamanders, with one of the best options being Isocron Specter imprinted with Standardize, which allows you to turn all creatures on the battlefield into Salamanders. The deck's win conditions are using Seedborn Muse and the aforementioned Isocron Specpter play to just keep everything on the board as Salamanders, and given how your commander gives you and all creatures you control protection from them, you can attack without fear. The next is using cards like Peer Pressure to steal all your opponents salamanders. This has been a lesson on how to group frog. You're welcome.

Since this comment I've bought the LOTR Elf precon and turned it into Cirdan group hug. (Read: on etb or attack, everyone vote a player in secret; each player draws for each vote they receive, if no votes, they cheat a permanent in) [Might not work for you, but 60+% at our table are variants of spell slinger] First off this boy has made more politic discussions in one game than our table has ever had, as the whole table if forced to "hand out weapons" and no one wants to king make. Then for some absolutely mad plays the Blue and green "Join forces" cards are in there (Each player may pay any amount of mana, the total mana is what each player draws/tutors into play basic lands.) The temptation cycle, Rite of flourishing, howling mine, Helm of Awakening for some kindness But then you might be wondering, how am I supposed to get ahead? Cards like Confounding connundrum.

King Kenrith had one of my favorite moments. I vowed to a friend that on a later turn, I would use his white ability (life gain) on him when he really needed it. A few turns later and I told him that I would need to break my promise and to be honest, he threw a bitch fit and demanded that I keep up my end. I reminded him that it was my WHITE ABILITY, that I was going to uphold and that he didn’t care. I told him fuck it and I played the card that prompted me to want to breaking my promise; Tainted Remedy. He was pissed, but he forgave me later. There’s a reason why my Kenrith deck was infamously nicknamed by my friends as “Monkey’s Paw.”
