I'm in the early stages of building an Orthion, Hero of Lavabrink deck, and I realized I've had an unused Braid of Fire for ages that it would be perfect for. While it'll mostly be used for Orthion's abilities, I'd really like to be able to use that mana at other points in the turn than my upkeep. ...

I've def had multiple mono-r decks. Burn based Torbran and junkyard reanimator Feldon or monkey stax with Ragavan. I'm most guilty of having multiple wedge decks though, and of course it's always Mardu.

Mono-c is another one. Guess colourless decks by nature do look a bit samey though.

...they really should put the reminder text on this complex crap so people know.

what i'm saying is that his ability is exactly what wolves want. etb time change. and how awful that is that the actual colours didn't get this mechanic where it should be, precisely because izzet doesn't care about wolves.

I hate that this is the de facto best werewolf commander with the day/night mechanic baked inside when werewolves are very definitively Gruul.

The main thing holding this guy back is his inability to shoot at anything but the dome. If he could be a nigh-unkillable source of crearute removal, then he'd have a lot more utility

3mv rocks need pretty insane upsides for me to consider them, and while this is pretty cool, it's not enough imo.

It's an interesting struggle. Would you consider Cursed Mirror to be worth?

That's a pretty good upside for a 3mv rock, I think.

I find this, like Contamination, became far less effective once we entered the treasure meta. And I don't like that.

Still an interesting conversation to have, though.

Sometimes it really blows my mind that CA engines this strong aren't good enough for modern commander.

Duel Decks Series: BRed Wort vs Tivadar of Thorn, when?

Heh. And here I was thinking it was to give you free shuffles on non-token deaths. Like a super proc off following scroll rack.

In a world where Gisa, Glorious Resurrector does all the same things but for free, I can't imagine ever playing this card outside of a thematic dedication to Snow. Off the top of my head, there's benefits to keeping the things "on ice" until you say so, rather than just getting them until...
