Commander format discussion

Also called EDH or Elder Dragon Highlander, Commander is Magic's most popular format and all about picking your hero and building a deck around them. In this casual, multiplayer format, you choose a legendary creature to serve as your commander and build the rest of your 100 card deck around their color identity and unique abilities. Players are only allowed one of each card in their deck, with the exception of basic lands, but they can use cards from throughout Magic's history.

Commander combines the command zone, color identity, singleton deckbuilding, multiplayer strategies, and the entire MtG cardpool for one of the most exciting and fresh ways to play.

Suggestions for upgrading Hosts of Mordor Precon (mtgzone.com)

Hello,

I'm planning to upgrade the Hosts of Mordor deck and would like to know if you guys have any suggestions.

One thing i'm planning to do is to try to use only cards from the set for two reasons: to keep the flavor and also to not increase too much of the power level. Or, at least, use very little cards that aren't from the set.

Also, it seems to be a good idea to replace Sauron, Lord of the Rings with Sauron, The Dark Lord as a commander and i plan to do it.

Wraith tribal might be a fun direction to push the deck, but not including cards from outside the set might make it a bit harder to be consistent. That said there is not much support for the tribe specifically outside this set.

Since the deck comes with [[Living Death]] if you could get all nine [[Nazgûl]] into your grave yard you would be looking at 9 instances of the ring tempting you and 81 triggers to put a +1/+1 counter on each wraith you control.

Very insteresting, a pitty that all 9 Nazgûl would cost me more then i paid on the precon here on my country currently. For some reason they are very expensive.

I expect pricing for the set should stabilize over time, but that one of one ring is going to make pricing very strange for a bit. Not sure your stance on this, but proxies might be the way to start adjustments before you commit to a purchase. Right now I could get about two commander decks for the price of 9 Nazguls.

Since the collector packs are the chase product I'm curious to see if that will oversaturate the secondary market with foils from the set.

I'm afraid of using proxies and discovering that i spent too much money on something i could've being printing for a fraction of the money i "wasted". I don't know if that makes sense for you, but that's how a i feel about it.

Anyway, i'm going to wait a bit and try to trade some Nazgûls with players from my LGS.

Sounds like a plan. Good luck with the smithing.
