![]() Azusa is great for helping you hit a higher land count in the early game, but she becomes irrelevant pretty quickly. ![]() I chose Azusa to take the reins, but I could also see Kamahl, Fist of Krosa or Baru, Fist of Krosa fitting the deck as well. Still, the majority of my wins come via squirrel tokens or a colossal Squirrel Mob. I supplemented the squirrel cards with additional token makers to increase the threat density. I wanted a version that gets as much land as possible as soon as possible, to fuel Squirrel Shenanigans. Since the deck will have a low number of actual squirrel cards (curse you, WOTC!), I tried to build it with as much search and filtering as I possibly could. (Note: anyone that posts in the comments about Mistform Ultimus or Changeling cards “technically” being squirrels will be detained and forced to gargle Brad Nelson’s sock sweat). As if you needed more proof that the little bastards are evil incarnate. Two, there are not enough squirrel cards to make a dedicated “squirrel deck.” A quick gatherer search shows that there are only 13 tourney legal squirrel-related cards in existence.ġ3. One, Wizards has yet to print a Legendary Squirrel, so get those visions of a squirrelly general coming in to save the day right out of your head. When building a Commander deck with a heavy squirrel theme, you are immediately confronted by two cold, hard truths. Why? Because, squirrels don’t need the assistance of any of those other pansy colors. Ultimately, I decided to go with a mono-green deck. She started out as a grey squirrel, but her fur has taken on the dingy color of her victm’s innards. See that kernel of delicious corn in its paw? This badass carries lunch around with her so she doesn’t have to take a break from killing. This beast was given the grace of the Angels and the blood-thirsty ferocity of a hung over Satan after a week-long meth binge. My poor unfortunate opponents had to stare at THIS MONSTROSITY as they repeatedly fell to the furry hordes:ĭon’t let the cute baby doe eyes fool you. It was the first rare I opened in Unglued, and once my playgroup acquiesced to my request (letting me play a harmless little Unglued card), it became a permanent fixture in my kitchen table decks. ![]() Blessed with ball-rockingly insane art and one of the best flavor texts in all of Magic, the card was an instant classic. You could teach a Master’s class on the sheer awesomeness of this cardboard. My infatuation with the furry menace began with this card: “ Can someone please explain this squirrel fetish to me, preferably without making a joke about nuts?” –The people that routinely read my articles. ![]() While I am new to Commander, I’ve experimented with the field enough to want to build a rockin’ deck, and discuss it with you fine folks, despite my abundant lack of knowledge or EDH street cred. These are not the cards you are looking for. Nevermind the demons on my battlefield ready to untap and destroy you. I’m a noob to the format, but I love getting to play with some of my favorite cards and doing the “Dance of Politics” wherein you convince the guy or gal with the 20/20 unblockable goat that it is in his best interest to kill the defenseless durdle to your right. I’ve only built three previous Commander decks, one of which was Uril, the Miststalker and so stupidly overpowered that it was unfun to play. I’m not what you’d call a Commander savant.
