Re: I'm in a rut and I haven't seen a new commander that really speaks to me in ages.

Consider playing "stax" a different way (bear with me I swear I'm moderately intelligent). Normally stax intends to race the opponents to lock down the board before a combo can get out, and then control it at their own pace - it needs to be a fast deck, because it needs to land those essen...

Re: Favorite Deaths

Oh boy, this one was one of my, and almost everyone at my typical table, favorite games. Apologies in advance for the essay. I used to play a Sidisi, Brood Tyrant deck. Pretty casual, just zombie tribal, not even a tuned one at that. Anyhow, the deck had Altar of Dementia in it - as a sac outlet, of...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Spinal Embrace

This card brings back great memories of my earlier days of magic, when we still thought the command zone was the hand and didn't realize it was an entirely different format. Entered my binder one day from a mass rare exchange between me and a friend, and never left it, still there to this day. In te...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - True Believer

Rip to Witchbane Orb , unless we were only looking at white cards with that effect. It's always seemed a little irrelevant, at least in my group. Spells normally end up targeting problematic permanents, not players. Definitely something that could be more or less effective in different pods (in mine...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

I honestly love all the attention and new toys that RW (not calling it boros because those days are long over) has gotten in commander. It's been a pretty lackluster combination for a very long time, as I'm sure has been repeated several times, so I won't go into detail on why (we all know lol). The...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

Haven't seen this thrown around yet, so just figured I'd mention it because it's relevant to note I guess. Baleful Mastery acts as an instant speed interaction to disrupt Oracle lines, it doesn't give the opponent an option to draw a card, it forces it instead (so responding to Oracle trigger by cas...

Re: [STX] Two Strixhaven Planeswalkers

So far I love the idea of the new Kasmina, first thought was just "What low cmc walkers would make an interesting tempo deck." and I like the idea of a more casual build using Kiora, Behemoth Beckoner and Huatli, the Sun's Heart and the like - after playing Kasmina, they're effectively 3 m...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Estrid's Invocation

Moderately cheap cloning effect on enchantments, can either abuse etb effects, or just use the second bit to repurpose it when a better target enters - which means you never have to wait until there's a good target in order to play it, since you can always reuse it on a future upkeep. However, doesn...

Sounding like most of the hype is for Kaldheim, with Commander legends falling a little behind, and Zendikar is just kind of there (except new omnath I still support that). Saw foretell in relation to new legend Ranar, wasn't sure if "foretelling" the card refers to exiling it for 2, or ca...

What have I missed?

Over the course of quarantine, I've grown very distant from magic. Not having anyone to really play consistently with has kind of killed my attentiveness to new releases, building decks, and general magic news. That being said, I'm now starting to get back to magic after my long period of inactivity...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Djinn Illuminatus

This card is odd. On the one hand, I've never seen anyone play it before, and I understand why. It's a bit of a niche spell. On the other hand, it's one of the most threatening powerhouses in my Kalamax EDH. Kill on sight threat. Deck is built with no infinites, so the typical line of play ends up b...

Time to make my first real post about a philosophical topic in commander, rather than just lurking around the threads.

Grenzo, Dungeon Warden works wonders with this card. A lot of the time you're just sinking mana into him instead of casting spells anyway, so this basically gives you 2 free spells.
