Sarkhan Unbroken
For drawing a card, 5 mana is very expensive, and making one mana at 5 mana is also a low return unlike the mana rocks. Mu Yangling is also expensive for what it does, but her + does help get the general through to crack back at people which is why I prefer her over Sarkhan.

Skyline Despot
When we don't have Monarch, it is just a 7 mana 5/5 flyer. It's very expensive for what it does, as you have to be able to keep the Monarch an entire go around the table to get its advantage unlike Custodi Lich which wants you to repeatedly become the Monarch.

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Fires of Invention
At least there are cards like Claws of Gix to remove it when there's no need for it, and it easily fits in mono-R. Of course, finding better uses for the claws other than working with one card is necessary.

Forbidden Orchard
All colors for a minor downside.
Edit: I didn't realize this card got up to 17 dollars. Everything keeps going up while I've been away from most magic.

Re: The Right Level of Commander Reliancy
My first deck that wasn't one of the original pre-cons (goat) was Merieke Ri Berit . Esper control that wasn't very super defined, a mix of different elements and what I had lying around. Even so, she was potent in scaring people to slow-play big threats and gave me time to establish a good board po...

Re: The Right Level of Commander Reliancy
Sounds like more haste will solve some of your problems, and Red has a ton of that, like the new Footfall Crater which can cycle if unneeded. When the tuck rule was around I used the commander more as an alternate wincon, though now my decks are a lot more commander-focused, for better or worse. Sti...

It's classic, enters untapped, taps for at least one of our five colors, maybe all of them.

Three mana, but survives mass removal yet is innocent enough to avoid targeted removal. Lantern is better but sometimes you just need a little push.

Re: Removal and Restrictions: An Analysis
Pretty good writeup, an interesting read to at least make me think about going through my decks and actually taking a stare at the amount and quality of removal I am running. I try to be sensible and/or on theme with my removal choices. However... I do admittedly have one bias though. The original ...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - [co]Rona, Disciple of Gix
Her tap ability is not what's powerful about her, it's repeatedly reusing her EtB. Blinking, bouncing, reanimating, etc, over and over again. If you do it, don't you lose the card exiled with the "previous" Rona? You cast what you reobtained via exile first and then do it. She also can br...

Are you guys really running conditional removal? I would never and have never run anything like Victim of Night or any of that stuff.

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Mirage Mirror
Mirage Mirror is one of those cards that feels worth it due to its potential rather than any known power level. It's essentially like clone tribal which can scale with the playgroup without needing to be built around, seeing all the potent permanents that already exist. Notice a lot of the examples ...
