Recently, I have taken a liking to EDH, which stands for Elder Dragon Highlander. It is an on-the-rise format for Magic: The Gathering where you have a legendary creature that is your general, and you form a deck around them of 100 cards. It is very fun. Today, I will talk about a white aligned commander. There are plenty of White commanders to chose from. A very common one is Akroma, Angel of Wrath. But see, I wanted to use a commander that isn't as obvious as Akroma. So I went ahead and took the Equipment route for white. And there is no other creature better to use equipment with than Kemba, Kha Regent.
Reasons to use Kemba as your commander could be many things. Here are mine. I like Kemba because she is very cheap and has a decent attack and pretty good toughness. I also like her because she can pump out insane amounts of cats, and can be a huge threat with the right equipment. I also just love equipment, and since control is not my kind of approach, and I already have an aggro type deck, Kemba's mid-range style will suit me perfectly.
On the other hand, reasons not to use Kemba would be you don't like equipment, you want more than a mono colored deck, or you're allergic to cats.
Anyway, lets take a look at some of the equipment. Some of the stuff that should have automatic inclusion in this deck would be Swords of Light & Shadow, Fire & Ice, Body & Mind, Feast & Famine, and War & Peace. They all offer protection, a little buffing, and awesome abilities that will devestate your opponents. More automatic inclusions would be the Kaldra set. The Shield is a better version of Darksteel Plate, the Sword offers a big boost and has exile-touch, and the helmet generates Kaldra himself, and gives trample, haste, and first strike. Other equipment include Batterskull, Grappling Hook, Argentum Armor, and Sword of Vengeance. While all those equipment offer awesome perks, there are a few pieces of equipment used to protect Kemba too. Lightning Greaves, Whispersilk Cloak, and Champion's Helm all offer great evasion.
There are a bunch of creatures that are good for a Kemba deck. One drops like Kitesail Apprentice and Kor Duelist are awesome when they become equipped. The best of them all would definitely be Sunspear Shikari. There there are great Metalcraft guys like Auriok Edgewright, Puresteel Paladin, and Auriok Sunchaser. When equipped with more stuff, these guys will become your main attacking force. Of course, you can't leave out Stoneforge Mystic and Stonehewer Giant either. Stoneforge is an awesome, awesome card and Stonehewer is like 5 times better than Stoneforge too. And Finally, you have Sun Titan, where in the event that some of your equipment or creatures die, this guys will bring them back!
In my Kemba deck, I plan on including some token generators, such as Conqueror's Pledge, White Sun's Zenith, and Nomad's Assembly, to have tons of tokens.
Well that's really it for Kemba. I completely reccomend the use of her as a White commander, for she can win you games, wheather its with tokens or with 21 damage.
