I just switched my general last night from Zur the Enchanter to Sen Triplets.

Oh and what do you think of these cards in EDH?

Soul Nova isn't that good.The Betrayal looks good, though. Unless it's countered.

I love your new avatar. You know, somewhere in the world, a barnacle is being crowbarred.

I have these 3 currently:

1) Uril the Miststalker (currently my best EDH deck, pretty much full of mana accel and cheap creature auras)
2) Niv Mizzet, the Firemind (coupled with lots of card draw and pinging creatures)
3) Sharuum the Hedgemon (currently my worst EDH deck, needs a lot more tweaking)

Isamaru voltron can can be really fast in 1v1 but struggles in multiplayer. Kemba fares much better in multiplayer.

Oh, and I guess I'll throw in my Peasant EDH decks, since I play PEDH as well and think it's a format worthy of mention. Plaxcaster Frogling, Juniper Order Ranger, and Nezumi Graverobber. The rules are simple: Make an EDH deck with any uncommon creature as your general and absolutely no rare cards in the deck. Rarity is based on lowest printed rarity. Psychatog is banned as a general. :)

I've got a cute little Kemba deck. It's not that good though, because I don't have old cards. I only got into Magic around Eventide. I took the deck to an EDH tournament though, and we played two games in multiplayer pods of four. I got Second place in the first game against Thriss, Nantuko Primus, Rhys the Redeemed, and Teneb, the Harvester. In the second game, I got Fourth place against Rhys the Redeemed, Hanna, Ship's Navigator, and Teysa, Orzhov Scion. In the second game I got the Teysa player down to three life, but he managed to win the game in the end with about 45 life.

Did the Teysa deck set up an infinite combo with Painter's Servant.

Lol! Yea, Thriss. Auto-correct doesn't seem to like Thriss. :)

Yea, I wouldn't expect a Thriss deck to have much going for it.

Yea, Jaya's sweet. Works well with Squee, Phoenix cards that return to hand, scuttlemutt effects, and equipment pike basilisk collar. I used to swap her with Ashling using the 10 card sideboard rule.

Uril is considered the best EDH general currently (too bad I don't own one :P)

I play Scion of the Ur-Dragon for dragons, and Momir Vig, Simic Visionary for the enormous creature spam. Also, my friends use Rafiq of the Many and Rhys, the Redeemed decks, and those work very well.

remember, any general can be good if you play it right (except phage, the untouchable)
