I'm really not trying to white knight but the title of the thread is kinda inflammatory. I don't know Gavin, but I'd have to imagine being the face as a designer doesn't mean you get 100% control of the final product. There are a lot of hands in the pot, and important decisions have to be delegated...

Hell, one game I played I cast, killed, and recast Ulasht over 60 times in one turn, WITHOUT food chain.

My guess is Mana Echoes.

I think Ulasht is powerful, and definitely underrated among the people I know. Would you shoot me a PM with your list (or a link to the same) if it's available?

I'm not sure there is a clean way to solve all this without a Chronicles-tier debacle where the hoarders get mad.

I have tried so hard to make it work, and getting to untap → attack → actually leverage it with a instant/sorcery in hand is so. %$#%$#%. hard.

Sinis

Grismold - if you put in the work, you get...a big beater. Whoop-de-do. Pass. There's a deck in my group which is all about forcibly giving people tokens and subsequently killing them off for various harm to the player. This will be pretty good in there. A tribute to the aforementioned situational ...

I appreciate wizards wanting to manage their reprint equity but they've seriously got to stop with the nickling and diming in the precons. Our (presumably) very own [mention]Surging Chaos[/mention] made a brilliant comment about Reprint Equity on reddit . Reprint Equity needs to get used. I absolut...

C19 does little to "Wow" anyone.

I can agree with that. The aura morph is probably the only really different design (and is it really different from something like Zoetic Cavern?).

2019 has Dockside Extortionist and very little else (Mire in Misery may or may not be worthwhile)

I really like Scroll of Fate, Ignite the Future, Gift of Doom and a few others. Leadership Vacuum and Sudden Substitution look interesting as well.

YMMV, of course.

They also had by far the least popular commanders of any commander year. I would contend that it was because they were monocoloured. Honestly, I think it was a good bit of exploratory design work; these were the first Planeswalkers-as-commanders, and I can see they didn't want to make anything too ...

BANDING HYPE!!!

It's a cute combat trick. I opened a copy way back in Alliances, and I still have it. I have yet to play it, but I'm not convinced I will never play it.

Sinis

While I'm thrilled at the printing of iconic characters from MTG's history, the surrounding cards seem to be 6/10. I remember when Wurmcoil Engine was printed in C14 and thinking "Wow, this is some REAL value". 2014 also had: Cyclonic Rift , Grave Titan , Adarkar Valkyrie (very scarce at ...

It's around turn 8 that I feel like anyone who is going to meaningfully participate in the game already has.

Sinis

Caveat: I don't generally complain about reprints from a personal perspective. I always buy all decks, and it's usually for the new non-general cards. I also have very realistic expectations about non-basic lands, fetches, Snapcaster, etc.; I would definitely rather avoid the problems of previous co...

The entire cycle is pretty interesting, but I think the only other one I've seen played is Soul of Innistrad It's true that these are the only two I currently play. I think Soul of Theros could easily have a home in a creature-based life-gain deck. I've tried to play Soul of Ravnica in 5-colour dec...

Thursday, August 8th, 2019; Soul of New Phyrexia I have played this a lot, and it's grand. I liked that whole Soul-cycle from M15. While I will concede that my meta is super slow, it does work when you can generate large but not-infinite amounts of mana (like in Selvala, Heart of the Wilds , but wi...

I want to play a pre-Alara Commander in 2 colors that has been made significantly better by cards printed in the last 2 years I'm going to go with Ulasht, the Hate Seed . There are few more red/green creatures that help support an Ulasht strategy, and many more go-wide support cards (chief among th...

Isn't the way to play her to aggressively tutor for Sensei's Divining top and a cost reducer?

Top on its own is really good; it's like {1}: Draw a card.

Having played Future Sight and Top together, I can confidently say that Elsha and Top will be every bit as busted.

I definitely agree with [mention]DirkGently[/mention]'s and [mention]materpillar[/mention]'s points about grudges. Grudges are not good decision-making information. It's easy to mistake a grudge for information about how threatening a player's deck is, if they play the same commander multiple times ...

You can use Spark Double or Sakashima the Impostor in addition to Mystic Barrier , to stop all attacks as well, AND Spark Double/Sakashima are really flexible. Really, I think this direction probably best for a superfriends build (again Spark Double) in any case, but, I strongly suspect that this ki...

Sinis

Now, the question I want to ask is, is this acceptable? Yes. If you sit down at a table with Aryel, Knight of Windgrace , Odric, Lunarch Marshal and Urza, High Lord Artificier , I think it's totally reasonable to consider Urza the threat and attack them first. I think it increases the fun to not ju...

Self-mill might be great or outclassed depending how the deck actually operates It's more that we won't really know if we can go off unless we stack with something like Scroll Rack. Millkin/Deranged basically let you either float mana and mill, or announce a cast (move it to the stack), see the top...

Sinis

To be blunt, I think Doomed Artisan is kindof a waste of cardboard and somebody's brain time. Interesting design is never a waste of time. I would take 100 artisans over one titan. At the very least, it's a well-costed Breeding Pit for an endless parade of fuel for Attrition and similar furnaces.
