When hate effects stapled onto flash bodies for 3 cmc wasn't done enough this set.

So how are we all feeling about those Commander Legends precon options? Nice to see Tatyova got her much needed facelift right? EDIT: Just realised they aren't on here yet, so here you go: Boros Wyleth, Soul of Steel (1RW) Legendary Creature- Human Warrior Trample Whenever ~ attacks, draw a card fo...

Ugh, partner planeswalkers. Nope. And a draw engine in Black that partners no less. I can see this dude being very common, the grind value is insane and will open up Crats to a strong engine in various colour combos. Given an Izzet partner that makes tokens or other relevant ability, I'd be interes...

Glenn is the sort of Azorius commander that needs to be printed. Proactive, doesn't deny opponents the ability to play the game, low cmc, provides card advantage in a way Azorius doesn't usually go for.

And it is wasted on this product.

About the only deck I'd consider Mirror for is Saheeli, the Gifted . Red gives you access to the cheaty Goblins and Daretti, but Saheeli by herself could reduce this to [sym=u][sym=u][sym=u] with ease. The payoff wouldn't be the most spectacular thing in a deck that already concedes to Vandalblast, ...

Hordechief is such a unique, interesting and powerful creature that is held back by its own colour identity. Mardu really restricts decks where I think he would fit a lot better than their options for generals. Sure, there's Markov (eww, off theme) and sub-optimal Alesha builds, but I'd love to put ...

So the argument is now Thrasios is strongest because he is never the right choice to focus when Chulane and company exist? That pretty much implies to me that he is, in fact, much weaker than those commanders. Is Thrasios ONE of the strongest long-game grinders once everyone blows their load stoppin...

Paying 4 for the ability is something you do if you ramp hard and don't have anything to do; it's a fallback plan that's still a decent way to sink mana at instant speed. Usually your goal is to (at least at the higher power level spectrum) set up some kind of synergy piece with him and start drawi...

You need to play thrasios to understand. He's the single most powerful commander and it's not particularly close. (When played with a decent partner and either infinite Mana or synergy effects or both) The handful of enablers you play with him like seedborn muse and the cost reduction guys are so g...

Halting green menace, via the most powerful color in EDH? Conundrum would only fuel the already dominating blue further, not to mention it also stops white/red from using artifact fetches like Burnished Hart , which W and R require a lot of. If you aren't in the land of combo, mono Blue isn't anywh...

Is Thrasios/Tymna a problem? No. There's always going to be some best shell for eternal formats, and this happens to be it. If the cEDH crowd comes back after that whole Flash thing and says "this is also a problem", I might just have an aneurysm. As one of those cEDH'ers at the time who ...

For me this time around, most of what I'm digging is utility, rather than a new commander or effect to brew around. Luckily a lot of it is at the common or uncommon level. Feed the Swarm : [sym=b]/[sym=u][sym=b]/[sym=b][sym=r]/[sym=u][sym=b][sym=r] decks rejoice! Your fairly costed removal for that ...

I had mentioned the "man falls of bike" meme before in relation to how daft the blame thrown at Thrasios, Triton Hero looks to me when the vast majority of the decks built with him are intentionally made with known power cards and combos. You slot in Kenrith, the Returned King or Tasigur, ...

Why are you talking about flicker resetting? The real monsters will fill the deck with extra turns.

Draw a card, with the White spent you have your Nexus of Fate mana if turns are your thing, even then its in 4c too. Win however you wish from it.

I'll be honest, I don't really see what's scary about Omnath, Locus of Creation . Like, best case scenario, he drains everyone for 4 and makes some mana? And then he's done for the turn, and would like if you'd just stop playing lands so you can start again next turn. That doesn't seem like a "...

Ashaya, Soul of the Wild ? Moraug, Fury of Akoum ? Omnath, Locus of Creation ? Ugh....time to rationalize how these probably won't make the format THAT much worse... Ah yes, more "answer me or lose" cards to worry about in the command zone. I was getting worried about the dry spell of Gol...

Ancient Greenwarden is honestly one great example of modern design I find so repetitive and boring. "Panharmonicon, but for X mechanic". We've had Teysa, Nightmare Shepherd (in a different manner), Yarok, Naban, Sanctum of All. Whilst a couple of those are for more janky themes, Landfall ...

"Zendikar Rising has MDFCs that are also a creature, another land, an instant, or a sorcery," said Rosewater via email. Further card type combinations will be revealed in the next two premier sets, Kaldheim and Strixhaven, which will include modular double-faced cards as well. Source: htt...

The funny part about the anti-Tymna/Thrasios agenda is how very real Red has become in competitive games between Underworld Breach, Deflecting Swat and Dockside Extortionist.

Slotting 1 into their respective 3 colour decks where a Triome is not available is fine tbh. Building your 4-5c manabase on their foundation? Not so much.

I think a lot of the partner hysteria is way overblown. Yup, pretty much this. I feel like more often than not, the partner hate is like that "bike fall" meme where the gentleman puts a stick in his tire and blames something else for crashing. In this case, the stick is how the 98 is buil...

Tatyova's popularity really boils down to her being popular with 2 demographics that honestly make up the majority of EDH players. Those after a powerful and consistent deck in colours that cover most of their bases for what a deck needs in EDH (ramp, card draw, finishers) and newer players looking ...

And i suspect silumgar's to be the least desired by far, but it's okay because he himself is much more powerful. That is odd because its the only one I would remotely consider playable in EDH, and even then just barely over better modal spells like Charms. The modes on the feel lacklustre. Four man...

All you've said about Thrasios dominating the higher you go, providing insane advantage and rarely seeing any play lower down, applies to Urza: A far more problematic commander. When your basic function allows you to turn off something as universally fun as a Howling Mine, and that's one of the best...
