The final decider for me was getting the chance to brew a combo-less, nearly stax-less deck that could still efficiently handle itself in Mid Power. Being illustrated by Magali Villenueve and printed in the ever-elusive Jumpstart set, Neyith checks both these boxes. I also enjoy playing commanders that have excellent artwork, since I will be staring at the card for hours at a time in-game, and find it fun to brew things that do not really see a lot of play. I was looking for a change from my typical deck style that’s for sure. So why did I choose Neyith? Well, that answer isn’t as simple as you’d think. For the guy that once held the (unofficial) record for most Esper decks played on PlayEDH at one time, a low-to-the-ground, smash face Gruul deck is the last thing I would be expected to play. Which is precisely why many a head turned a few months back when I sat down at my computer, flipped on my webcam, and revealed my new commander: Neyith of the Dire Hunt. Most people who know me, if asked “what is Alch’s playstyle like”, would likely point out my need for a strong control package, enjoyment of various combolines, and my love for any-and-all things Esper.
