EDH Deck Assist - Erinis, Street Urchin Control 

I made a version of this deck that is designed to swap backgrounds from command zone and 99. One is Street Urchin, the other is Guild Artisan. Heavy treasure synergies fill the deck, as well as lots of cards that make it safer for Erinis to swing. Swapping from SU to GA in the command zone turns this deck from a grindy control deck into an aggro voltron deck, without a single other change to the list.

Thank you so much for the deck review as always. First off, I don't know if you realized this or not, because I didn't hear you mention it, but with Erinis having deathtouch, and Street Urchin making Erinis deal the damage because of how it's worded, meaning that the single ping of damage from Street Urchin has deathtouch, thus killing whatever it targets. That leads into my decision to not include Blasphemous Act, or really any sweepers at all, because they felt too redundant to what was going on in the command zone. All of your MH3 suggestions make sense, this deck hadn't been updated for MH3 yet, so all that makes perfect sense to me. Now, onto play pattern and why I didn't include mana dorks in this list. My intent is to play T1 tap land/or fetch land (as I have a chunk of them, and they are important for my mana coverage), T2 Street Urchin, T3 one of my engine cards (Tireless Tracker/Veronica/Toggo), T4 Erinis with activations up. That is how I ended up laying out the deck because a lot of the engines are at 3 mana, and I find that I want to play the creature part of my commander where I am already set up to activate them.This decks playpatterns don't really change with acceleration of 1 mana, except me not using my mana well. Even if I get Erinis out on turn 2, their not really doing what the crux of the deck is until I have an engine to get them artifacts/creatures and Street urchin out. Now, the question is if each of those engines are good enough, and your assessments of them were very helpful. Also, specifically on Raid. The intention is to always be attacking with Erinis when possible, because I always want to be returning a land to the battlefield. I have a lot of lands with interesting activated abilities, and I am playing close to the maximimum number of artifact lands to sac off and loop with Erinis. Farid is also intended as a value engine with this looping of artifact lands, so I don't know if that changes your outlook on that card in this deck. Once again, I super appreciate your feedback. Even when I disagree with you, you get me to think about why I disagree with you, and that is just as useful as the suggestions themselves. Keep up the amazing work

My friend built this deck last year and its terrorizing

Erinis is a part of my Baba Lysaga deck

My favourite land in my Erinis Street Urchin deck is Roadside Reliquary. The background covers 1/2 of the requirement to draw two. With cards like the Tireless sisters and Toggo, fodder is easy to come by. Another card to consider is Kodama of the East Tree for its potential to combo with landfall token producers and a bounceland. A cheeky card is Arcbond. It's a strictly worse Chandra's Ignition. With strategy, consider the possibility of winning through commander damage. Cards like Kessig Wolf Run, Blackblade Reforged, and Tarrian's Soulcleaver can help.

There are a few CEDH lists going around. Erinis just wins with Dockside + Sabertooth. Also Stormkiln + Haze of Rage / Chain of Acid + Indestructible/ Tamiyo's Safekeeping. Can also win with Peregrine Took + Nuka Cola. A sacrificed Protean Hulk can grab Dockside + Sabertooth, or Torch Courier + Goblin Engineer (putting Nuka Cola in yard) + Peregrine Took This commander is incredibly game warping in casual, and I've most casual groups will deny playing against it.

Love this guy with Strip Mine!

How about obliterate? Helps control the field really well

So you basicly made an GR Omnath land\control deck?

22:00 if the group has played just a couple of games vs this commander he will get targeted a lot for a good reason. Keep in mind that the commander has deathtouch and the Background grants the ability to the commander which means anything he pings dies due to deathtouch. People don't want to play their big/value creatures into an Erinis. Also, when the commander is dead the deck immediately loses the main engine for sacrifice and land recursion. Would 100% include a Lotus Field here, the synergy in a land slot is too good. One with Nature and Nature's Will are highly efficient ramp and mana cheating, especially for a commander that can easily ensure you can connect to a player.
