EDH General Sound off

[kraivyne]

Hi guys, this is Peter.

I wanted to used Thraximundar as my general in EDH.

Thanks!

[nyth]

Took me a while to find my copy of Zak Espera... And to think I could've used him as my general all along.

[omarlk]

My general is Child Of alara (realized noone mentioned my character yet )
also i need certain cards 4 my edh, i ll post em in cards i want

[shazam]

cromat
is my next IMBA general

[nyth]

Well, as some of you may know, I now also have a five colour general for a very aggro deck.

My new general: Horde of Notions

[nyth]

Since a lot of people are determined to make 5 colour decks, let me list all the potential 5 colour legendary creature generals to grace Magic's history.

Atogatog - WUBRG - Legendary Creature - Atog - Odyssey (OD)
Sacrifice an Atog creature: Atogatog gets +X/+X until end of turn, where X is the sacrificed Atog's power.
5/5

Child of Alara - WUBRG - Legendary Creature - Avatar - Conflux (CFX)
Trample
When Child of Alara is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, destroy all nonland permanents. They can’t be regenerated.
6/6

Cromat - WUBRG - Legendary Creature - Illusion - Apocalypse (AP)
{W}{B}: Destroy target creature blocking or blocked by Cromat.
{U}{R}: Cromat gains flying until end of turn.
{B}{G}: Regenerate Cromat.
{R}{W}: Cromat gets +1/+1 until end of turn.
{G}{U}: Put Cromat on top of its owner's library.
5/5

Horde of Notions - WUBRG - Legendary Creature - Elemental - Lorwyn (LRW)
Vigilance, Trample, Haste.
{W}{U}{B}{R}{G}: You may play target Elemental card from your graveyard without paying its mana cost.
5/5

Karona, False God - 1WUBRG - Legendary Creature - Avatar - Scourge (SC)
Haste
At the beginning of each player's upkeep, that player untaps Karona, False God and gains control of it.
Whenever Karona, False God attacks, creatures of the type of your choice get +3/+3 until end of turn.
5/5

Progenitus - WWUUBBRRGG - Legendary Creature - Hydra Avatar - Conflux (CFX)
Protection from everything
If Progenitus would be put into a graveyard from anywhere, reveal Progenitus and shuffle it into its owner’s library instead.
10/10

Reaper King - (2/W)(2/U)(2/B)(2/R)(2/G) - Legendary Artifact Creature - Scarecrow - Shadowmoor (SHM)
Other Scarecrow creatures you control get +1/+1.
Whenever another Scarecrow enters the battlefield under your control, destroy target permanent.
6/6

Scion of the Ur-Dragon - WUBRG - Legendary Creature - Dragon Avatar - Time Spiral (TSP)
Flying.
{2}: Search your library for a Dragon permanent card and put it into your graveyard. If you do, Scion of the Ur-Dragon becomes a copy of that card until end of turn. Then shuffle your library.
4/4

Sliver Legion - WUBRG - Legendary Creature - Sliver - Future Sight (FUT)
All Sliver creatures get +1/+1 for each other Sliver in play.
7/7

Sliver Overlord - WUBRG - Legendary Creature - Sliver Mutant - Scourge (SC)
{3}: Search your library for a Sliver card, reveal that card, and put it into your hand. Then shuffle your library.
{3}: Gain control of target Sliver. (This effect doesn't end at end of turn.)
7/7

Sliver Queen - WUBRG - Legendary Creature - Sliver - Stronghold (SH)
{2}: Put a 1/1 colorless Sliver creature token into play.
7/7

And that's it for the moment until they print new ones.

Also, worth noting... There are NO 4 colour legendary creatures in Magic!

[kangor]

Let me take the opposite and post some of the single color generals.

Hakeem Loreweaver
Tallawar
Eron the Relentless
Squee
Gerrard
Seya the Falconer (?)
Lin Sivi
crap I cant remember the rest, but there is a ton. 5-color generals dont offer any challenge. to me you just stuff all the best cards in a deck and go. Give 1, 2, or 3 colors generals a shot. Remember EDH is built on fun.

[Myth]

Working on a Gwafa Hazid, Profiteer deck right now.

Not complete but dibs on the general! lol

~Myth

[nyth]

This rule applied in the old days before EDH got over-popularized...

Nowadays you can share EDH Generals but it is worth mentioning prior to showing up. It was necessary to change this rule as too many people worldwide wanting to have Sharuum artifact decks and play in the same playgroups.

Just so you know, you can have the same general but if the same legendary creature is on the board it is still subject to the legendary rule and both go to their owner's graveyards as state based actions are checked. Each player controlling those creatures then decides whether they go back to the general command zone or not instead of to their graveyard.

Good luck with the Gwafa Hazid, Profiteer deck. Sounds like it will be fun to make.
