EDH Chamber Blog
This blog has posts specifically for EDH Commander players. Content will be heavily revolving around my own personal experiences and opinions. I'll focus on non-cEDH decks, but most likely at some point will also post content for cEDH players.
My Favorite Deck: Rionya, Fire Dance

Orzhov counter aristocrats: Felisa Fang of Silverquill
Felisa is an interesting commander combining death triggers and counters. Orzhov has relatively low amount of counter synergies (except in mono white) but has high amount of death trigger synergies.

Esper Tempo deck: Kamiz, Obscura Oculus with Saboteur
When Streets of New Capennas Obscura deck was released I immediately found Kamiz interesting, as the commander allows many different strategies varying from unblockable to draw matters, from discarding to reanimating in Esper colors. This is my take on Kamiz as a mix of all as a strong Tempo deck.

Grixis Vampire tribal and exile with Evelyn
Streets of new Capenna introduced a new vampire tribal commander in Grixis colors. Evelyn has an interesting way to provide value with vampire tribal and the decks power level increases according your opponents decks!

Izzet Jank Pirate Tribal: Malcolm + Breeches
Mono blue, Izzet and Grixis have been the main colors for Pirate tribals for ever. I wanted to build a pirate tribal deck focusing on the pirating: exile your opponents cards, play them yourself and turn them into your weapons.

Three interesting new commanders from New Capenna
Streets of New Capenna is the home of five old mob families, but the new spoiled commanders are not demons. Here is my quick thoughts of the new Grixis, Esper and Jund commanders. Or like in New Capenna Maestros, Obscura and Riveteers

Abzan graveyard creatures deck: Karador, Ghost Chieftain
Creature decks and graveyard decks are very popular archetypes in commander. Abzan provides great synergies for both colors and Karador is great choice as a commander for both playstyles.

EDH Dragon tribal deck: Dimir dragons
Tribal decks are very popular in EDH. Dragon tribal is the third most popular tribal theme according to EDHRec with over 13k decks available. Most of these decks are Gruul, Jund, Rakdos or 5-color decks, though. This deck is off-color Dragon tribal with Silumgar as the Commander.

Best removals in Commander for each color
In commander you often end up in a situation where you have no other options than removal. Here is a collection of the best removals in the commander format. All these removals are commander staples and have a home in almost any deck with the given color identity.

Simic clue token commander: Lonis, Cryptozoologist
Simic commander decks are often called value decks: playing spells, drawing cards and doing tons of stuff and prolonging the games. This simic deck: Lonis, Cryptozoologist Clue token deck has several wincons including milling, combat, tapping out your opponents whole board and stealing nonland permanents.

Mono black commander: Vito, lifegain and vampire tribal
Next up in my mono colored decks is black. As black can do literally (maybe not ramp?) everything by paying life or sacrificing creatures and has the best tutors in the format I wanted to restrict my options by having a strict tribal deck.

Commander deck building challenge: Mono Black Zombies
Our playgroup had a deck building challenge: we chose a color for each randomly and I ended up with black. This is how I chose and built my mono-black Zombies EDH deck.

Karlov of the Ghost Council: cEDH or casual?
I wondered how to build a lifegain EDH deck and after some time ended up with Karlov of the Ghost Council as the commander with voltron and life drain sub themes.
