I think that their is an argument for keeping Elesh Norn in the 99, because opponents tend react and play more aggressively when they see Elesh Norn in the command zone
but that's part of the fun of it. a completely one sided game is no fun, but if its a struggle just to cast your commander, it's a welcome challenge. Falling out of love with my Slivers for that reason, too consistently good at choking out my opponents late game

I run a Captain Sisay deck with Elesh Norn. It isn't a deck I play much since the deck can be a bit mean. When I play Living Plane, Natural Affinity, Natures Revolt, and Quiron Druid.
I knew what you were doing as soon as I saw that urborg. I do the same thing in my Kazuul deck, which I originally bought my urborg for. I mostly just have it to make shrek jokes though.
Gemstone golem 5 mana 5/4 trample when it deals damage you can cast your commander with out paying it's mana cost just its tax for the turn supppppeer underrated card and it's colorless almost any commander that is over 5 mana is worth running it in imo
I'd also say that one more card to add is Bond of Discipline. Tapping all of your opponents things that survive Elesh Norn and then gaining a bunch of life sounds like a good deal to me. This is a white card that should probably be played in any deck with White that wants to attack with a lot of creatures.
No Angelic Visitation to make all those tokens into 4/4 Angels with flying and vigilance? Combined with the Planeswalker and Annointed Procession this is an insane combo. Got this running in my Orzhov Death Triggeor/Token EDH deck.
Yes we will! It was teased in Dominaria. More so she has been wanting to go to other worlds and now Tezzeret is on the run and has a way to make it happen.
I've just been waiting a long time for a return to New Phyrexia and I'm always excited to see cards associated with the plain. New Phyrexia was the set that I first started playing Magic with and Moltensteel Dragon was pretty much my first ever rare card from one of the intro decks.
@@Wolfen5207 I started in Rise of the Eldrazi but I understand The love for New Phyrexia. My first Mythic was a Sheoldred as the Pre Release promo and Vorinclex in the first pack! I too am hoping for a return of the Praetors.
I have a question... If you equip Elesh Norn with the Blade of Selves and attacks, causing myriad to trigger, does the rule of legendary creatures apply? I mean, you’ll have to sacrifice Elesh Norn or its copies, don’t you?
I have a Kormus Bell, and when I learned you can play Urborg in Elesh Norn, I was determined to pick up a copy of Elesh Norn because I don't have mono white deck. Last name White, no mono white, but that will change soon. Too bad the Phyrexian text copy is so expensive and rare 😭
Idea.....for elish norn and resident evil 7 fans.... encourage artist/ commission artists to make a sleeve that will change norms art to that of lady demitrescu....your welcome

not only that, but she is so goodstuffy that it is hard to argue that there isn't a better deck where she would fit in.
but that's part of the fun of it. a completely one sided game is no fun, but if its a struggle just to cast your commander, it's a welcome challenge. Falling out of love with my Slivers for that reason, too consistently good at choking out my opponents late game

Nice deck, I would suggest a faith's rewards to cast in response to a board wipe.
I'd play Divine Visitation in this, seems good with all the 1/1s you re making

Now the question is... Will we ever go back to New Phyrexia and see a new Elesh Norn?
Yes we will! It was teased in Dominaria. More so she has been wanting to go to other worlds and now Tezzeret is on the run and has a way to make it happen.

@@Wolfen5207 I would so love to see elesh be a Planeswalker. I know it's probably not possible. Just be cool to see something new.
About now
What about cathar's crusade?
Wher is the deck list for this deck? Cant find it?
Looks like à fun deck to play..
Mix Corvax, Elesh Norn and Harmonious Archon (all non archons are 3/3) to board wipe all creatures that don't have an anthem :D
Why we don't use endless horizons or lland tax to resolve the mana problem?
Nice elesh
Have you ever thought of doing demon tribal with kothoped or nefarox
I feel like Rakdos is the way to go!
mine is with sol'kanar
Maybe. It’s something I’ve considered.
Kothophed is actually a pretty overlooked commander. Seems like it could be house if one builds it properly.
Helm of the host. Always helm of the host!
yeahhhh
why not play stax with this?
No overwhelming splendor? So fun
I love my bae so much, thanks for making a vid about her!
Hmm is anafenza kin tree spirit worth running here?
I have a question... If you equip Elesh Norn with the Blade of Selves and attacks, causing myriad to trigger, does the rule of legendary creatures apply? I mean, you’ll have to sacrifice Elesh Norn or its copies, don’t you?
Yes. Their -2/-2’s still apply to your opponents creatures though.
Well, I detest mass land destruction, unless it finishes the game, I need a kormus bell now 😆
I have a Kormus Bell, and when I learned you can play Urborg in Elesh Norn, I was determined to pick up a copy of Elesh Norn because I don't have mono white deck. Last name White, no mono white, but that will change soon. Too bad the Phyrexian text copy is so expensive and rare 😭
I'd like to see atla used with her
3:25
It is colorless...
It even has a black frame over it.
You are a man who lives in infamy I’m surprised you’re still around
@@thedarudecactus3179 I'm just stating a fact.
Oh boi, I am viewer number one
OMG STILL WARCHING THE VIDEO BUT DONT TELL ME YOU ARE PLAYING THE BELL COMBO TOO!!!!
Edit:
You Did It. The Crazy Son of a Bitch, You Did It!!!!!!!!
Elesh Norn is actually colorless. I'm a level 3 judge /s
No she’s not
She doesn't do so well against Melira, Sylvok Outcast.
Melira doesnt do anything against her I don't think I'm confused
Azor's Gateway is a fkng broken card for mono decks🥰you're welcome
Be really good with sensei's divining top lol!
Idea.....for elish norn and resident evil 7 fans.... encourage artist/ commission artists to make a sleeve that will change norms art to that of lady demitrescu....your welcome
I love you
Play Elesh Norn and get hated out the game
