  7. Commander Rules!
    1. While Ryan and I tend to gravitate towards similar decks and playstyles, we often take different approaches to how we would build decks. Tonight we are comparing Ryan’s Emry deck to Zack’s!
      1. Zack’s Deck: https://archidekt.com/decks/258206#Zack's_Emry

        4. HOW DID I FORGET SOL RING!!!!!!??!?!?!?!!?!
      6. Overlap
    4. Stats - Before we get into it let’s compare some data points on the deck
      1. Ryan
        1. Giant Robots - Arcbound Ravager, Metalwork Colossus, Myr Battlesphere, Torrential Gearhulk, Traxos, Triskelion
        2. Artificer’s Intuition, 13 zero and one mana artifacts, Also this allows for potential Emry on Turn 1
        3. Paradoxical Outcome - Potential to return lots of cards, and draw lots of cards
        4. Self Mill to get lots of Fuel for Emry in the yard
        5. Urza, Lord High Artificer - Finally have  a place to play this
        6. Scrapyard Recombiner - 15 Constructs (13 in the construct category and two in other categories)
        7. Artifact Sac Outlets - Dedicated ways to use out of Emry’s replay effect. 
        8. Recursion - Emry does this, but so does Scrap Trawler, Trading Post, Junk Diver, Salvaging Station
        9. Untapping Emry to bring a LOT of things back - Minamo, School at Water’s Edge, Freed from the Real
        1. Sol Ring
          1. Extra Planar Lens
          2. Caged Sun
        2. Mono Color gotta have mana doublers
        3. Mirrodin Besieged
          1. Dramatic Reversal
          2. High Tide
          3. Reset
        4. Isochron Scepter with two drop instants
        5. Cyclonic rift and clones
        6. Chasm Skulker
        7. Mystic Forge
      3. Zack
    5. Fun card synergies
      1. Zack
      2. Ryan - Not your typical Emry deck. I tried to make sure there weren’t any infinite combos in the list. Each turn is going to feel like a puzzle, on how to extract the most value out of your cards. Plus, Huge robots!
    6. Why my deck is the most fun to play / play against
      1. Let us know by voting in our week long poll.
