Re: [SCD] Old Gnawbone

Yeah, I'm not on board with this even being a problem card. I'd be more concerned with something Entomb/Reanimating Nyxbloom over a mono green deck turbo-ramping into yet more ramp.

Re: September Ban List Update

Looking at the current top 10 commanders of the past 2 years... Korvold, Fae-Cursed King - obnoxiously strong card, but not banworthy Kenrith, the Returned King - will likely be filling Golos's shoes as the new default 5C commander, but much easier to interact with. Atraxa, Praetors' Voice - totall...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Rest in Peace

I cannot think of another common card that simply reads "a zone of play doesn't exist this game" as often as Rest in Peace does.

Many a frustrated Feldon deck yeeting half their library away to Meteor Golem/Chaos Warp this.

Re: Sythis Enchantress Storm

For what its worth Flickering Ward and Whip Silk are fantastic ways to dump mana and draw up in Sythis. Not even a bad top deck, with Ward having the added utility of getting any pumped up creature through some blockers.

Re: [SCD] Hullbreacher

1 out of 4 people get blown out, the other 2 people react and play around the card. How would this be any different than if your spell gets countered? By a free counterspell no less so they lost 0 mana to do so? The only blowouts happen with wheels, but that's why you have to play smart and know th...

Re: Totally non-bias opinions only ;) how would cEDH react to banning the top tutors?

There is already a format taylor-made by prominent cEDH content creators that has tutors banned, along with fast mana amongst other things, called Conquest. Life total is lower, commander damage is lower, Planeswalkers can be your commander too. Turns out, it just becomes the same race to early comb...

I want to like this card, I really do. Maybe Beledros Witherbloom can make better use of it? Relying on hitting your Seedborn Muse or Wilderness Reclamation to make this passable just isn't consistent enough for me.

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

Its worth noting that Wandering Archaic actually gets better the higher in power level you go. In cEDH you will frequently see counter wars, tutors, Ad Naus/Peer, combos like IsoRev (that depending on the opponent only going 1 or 2 mana positive per cast, could lead to you winning instead with yours...

Galazeth Prismari Well, its time to meet the Elder Dragon that ate up all the power equity in that cycle, unless Witherbloom comes along and proves otherwise. Galazeth is nuts, beyond the initial take of "Izzet Urza", the mana generation, storm opportunities and even stax potential is far...

Lesson/Learn: Eh, Learn as a new mechanic it doesn't offer much in EDH, although rummage can help certain colours out, even if it depends on what the rest of the card offers. Lessons look like they're just going to be overcosted/generalised for the Learn mechanic. Magecraft: This is a dangerously l...

This is a Feather moment, where we see a completely new thing from Boros builds. I also love how this interacts with Mana Crypt (tap float 2, sac float 1, tap Olgir for 0, you now have a ritual for 5 colorless).

I'm relieved to see Tergrid on there. Something I never see covered re: Tergrid is how she effectively nullifies a wealth of commanders from the CZ. Playing a wheel deck? You feed Tergrid.

Re: Warhammer 40K, Lord of the Rings, and other IPs in Magic.

It feels like there's a lot of white, not because of Good vs Evil, but there are a lot of static characters and societies in LotR. The dwarves have an way of things and don't care much for change, same can be said for many of the elven kingdoms. Strictly speaking Sauron's desire to rule over the kin...

Re: Warhammer 40K, Lord of the Rings, and other IPs in Magic.

So I've been wondering how an IP like LotR will be split in the colour pie? Its been a while since I've read the books, but I'm struggling to think of anything that sits solely in Blue, for example. There's surprisingly few widespread uses of Magic, more just feats that have "magical aspects&qu...

Golos, to me, is a much clearer candidate for banning and I am not sure why the RC has been so slow in this regard. What I want: The increase in 5c good-stuff general options like Esika and Jodah mean that Golos is no longer tolerated as the clutch to fill in this niche, therefore eating the ban it...

Re: [SCD] Rofellos, Llanowar Emissary

Honestly, I'm far more concerned about the early turns from a Kinnan deck than Rofellos could ever achieve. Draw in green being power based really limits what that amount of mana can do, let alone lacking an activated ability on the card itself to sink it into. Rofellos lacking scaling with fast man...

In terms of warping our meta, I would say I'm the only one who has spammed partner pairings in any large capacity (I don't count Partner-With tbh).

Re: Confounding Conundrum

I've found its ability to slow down the Green decks at the table most welcome! Slight issue is said Green decks pack a lot of removal that hits it anyway, or the can deploy beaters to punish you for daring to bring them down to the pod's level.
