EDH/Commander Deck Archetype- Prossh Token Army. Feed Me More

Dragons have long been a creature to both fear and respect in our multiverse. Some can be beautiful creatures and yet the have some ugly destructive power behind them. For today young walker, we will look at yet another dragon that has grown to be a legend in his own right. he has a vast army that he always bring with him and only grows stronger the more the battle drags out. He is a master of red, black and green magic. I know what you maybe thinking, didn't we already go over Karrthus? Yes we did, but this is not Karrthus we are talking about today. Are you ready to meet him?

Prossh, Skyraider of Kher

Prossh, Skyraider of Kher

His name is Prossh, Skyraider of Kher. He commands an army of Kher, Saprolings, Gobins, Myr and even Dragons. This lesson will mostly focus on his forces and how he can obtain such a presence so swiftly. Now Prossh like many dragons, is unpredictable in battle. He will more than likely just assemble his forces in battle and let them do his dirty work. But he can just as easily eat them all and grow his own power to a near infinite amount to crush anyone he wishes. Alright so let's take a look at the known spells Prossh likes to use and see what makes this dragon so deadly.

Endless Hunger

This is the only known list of spells that we have from the dragon. From what we gather, he enjoys casting at least one of three enchantments. If all three should be cast it is certain death for any in his path. His main three are Doubling Season, Primal Vigor and Goblin Bombardment. These three spells alone can set up an up hill battle. With Primal Vigor and Doubling Season, the smallest of his spells become exponential. Dragon Fodder for instance will summon not just two goblins, but instead an impressive eight! Eight goblins will come to the call of Prossh from a single spell! That isn't even the worst part. If the Bombardment is out as well, he can attack with them and even sacrifice them all to the Bombardment to deal even more punishing blows.

So we just keep them off the battlefield right? Well sort of young walker. He has more than one way to kill an enemy of his. His other route is simply swarm the battlefield with whatever creatures he can and then drop a bomb out of no where. That bomb comes down in the form of Craterhoof Behemoth. This creature packs some serious power behind it when its called upon. If there are only ten creatures in the command of Prossh, Craterhoof will give them all including itself an overwhelming addition of ten to their power! This turns even the weakest Kher into a giant.

Now I know what you are thinking. I will just keep his army in the grave and attack with whatever I can gather up for an attack. Nope that may not work either. Dictate of Erebos can make you send your army to the grave as well. For any creature you should kill, Dictate can make you kill one of your own as well.

Feast or Famine?

So how do you think you can take on this dragon young walker? The constant obvious choice that echoes in your head is blue magic. You will have the upper hand to counter his spells before he can use them. That might work, but what if you are terrible at blue magic? White is another option as well. If you can heal more than the damage he can inflict you just might have a chance. Especially if you can banish his more powerful spells from battle. Now the other option is to over power Prossh. I believe it is possible to do but may prove to be very difficult. 

So what will your option be young walker? Will you become a song of legend or another statistic?
