"Prossh , Skyraider of Kher EDH: A Little Dragon Worship"


"Prossh , Skyraider of Kher EDH: A Little Dragon Worship"

Prossh is a dragon and like most of the powerful dragons in the world of Magic it actually commands admiration. A bunch of Kobolds gather in the dragons wake whenever he appears. Appearing from the very mana that is used to summon him and then like most dragons he makes a snack of all his worshippers to make himself stronger. Worshippers = Snacks. Pretty good equation for him. 

Prossh as a commander is made up of Jund colors. a 5/5 Flyer for 6 mana. Dying only means that he comes back much stronger than before. If you get 6 Kobolds when you initially cast him then you add 2 more for each time that he appears from the command zone.

"Unhealthy Snacks but Nourishing - Prossh"
The Kobolds would be great with a shared animosity because they could attack for massive damage. 6 Kobolds means that there is six 5/1 attackers. 30 damage right there. Kills someone in 1 on 1 EDH where 30 life is the norm. 

Or if you are the kind of EDH player who prefers General damage then you could swing Prossh himself. You could sacrifice the 6 Kobolds give him a +1/0 for each of the creatures that you sacrificed. 11 General damage. 2 more swings and that makes one of your opponents history. 

Two options for one awesome EDH deck.Someone asked me online what was the best 2 decks to buy for someone who was just getting into EDH. I said that deck with Jeleva and this one. Prossh is an extremely aggressive build. And if there is one thing that gets the spark building in someone that is to summon cool creatures and win with massive attacks. Prossh fits the bill. 

What Prossh also offers is a sacrifice outlet. Melira-Woodfall Primus fits right in here if you want that combo. Gravepact also causes havoc on the battlefield when you sacrifice a creature to Prossh. When each opponent sacrifices a creature when one of your creatures die it wont be long before nothing is left on their side of the board. And honestly who is going to miss a couple of Kobolds who could just come back when you summon your General again?

"Keep em coming...Bigger after Prossh snacks on Kobolds"
Jund is full of creatures that take advantage of creatures going to the grave. Things get bigger when something dies. Like Scarland Thrinax and Deathbringer Thoctar.  There are creatures that create more creatures when they die and those could also be used to be sacrificed or on the attack. One of them is Sprouting Thrinax. The cycle goes on and on. 

Prossh is really shaping up to be a very excting commander. He ranks as number 2 in my book next to Nekusar. What is not to love about a hard working Dragon like this?
