darrenhabib , thank you so much for the effortful reply. This is my first attempt at an Azorius control deck and it probably shows, your experience is really appreciated. The low hanging fruit is extra turn cards. If Chun-Li has any type of ongoing evasion thats GG. I love the idea of extra turns b...

Just chiming in to say Narset really hasn't gained anything from Outlaws of Thunder Junction though I'll post a few considerations in case anyone thinks they're better than I do. Aven Interrupter -- a decent white off-counterspell with a flying body for mass prowess, nothing directly relevant but a ...

I guess my central question is this: Is Brainstorm that amazing a cantrip without a glut of shuffle effects to remove the two unwanted cards? Or is it still a must-run in Ux decks that value cantrips? In particular I've just been sort of unimpressed with it in Chun-Li / Zethi, Arcane Blademaster if ...

How has this played for you in games so far? I don't have much to add personally, as I'm not the most tuned in Commander pilot, and my group has largely moved on from voltron decks. Thanks for the reply and cool to see another Appleseed fan, Boros_Blendo . When I find the time I should add some com...

Dead Before Sunrise would this have been OP with "or player" written on it? or with "and Barbarians" written on it? my dwarven blood boils (and Zalto will never be good) It doesn't give them haste so I'm inclined to say it wouldn't have been too OP, no. Infinite outlaws + mass h...

Despite being a Timmy set, Thunder Junction offered some surprisingly nice cards for Azorius draw-go control. :check: Final Showdown -- Insane value. Protect Chun, neuter blockers, and have a wrath on a stick to boot. Wonderful. :check: Thunderclap Drake -- Another discounter, decent sword-carrier, ...

What am I missing about Pest Control?

I think Cycling is extremely good.

Holy frijoles, this card goes in three, maybe four of my decks. Insanely value-heavy body for the cost. Essentially Angel of Glory's Rise #2 in human rebels, grabs enchantments as well as creatures for Opal-Eye and Narset. I really hope the price on this guy will be reasonable.

Molten Duplication, baby!

Neat-o, it can copy artifacts, though the downside that it can't replicate itself like Twinflame, in case Zada is tax'd off the board or something, is still significant. Still, redundancy.

I mean, Lost Jitte is a fixed Umezawa's Jitte so of course it won't be as good. But I think it's just apples and oranges anyhow given the different abilities. I can see myself running Lost Jitte in a proliferate deck (will be playtesting it in Jenny Flint and Madame Vastra , especially because they ...

What's that? You wanted even more artifact token support?

Yeah I just can't get behind this Loot thing. One of my favourite aspects of MtG is that it doesn't look like League of Legends. I've been really impressed with the art direction lately (e.g. bringing back Richard Kane Ferguson, having Guay 2.0 in Iris Compiet, etc.) so I'd be disappointed if they s...

Jem Lightfoote, Sky Explorer is very solid for Azorius draw-go decks. Likely to trigger her card draw clause and an efficient flying vigilant body for the cost. The downside being that unless she herself was cast from a non-hand location, she won't be drawing any cards until the following end step....

Quick and messy Shrines list that polymorphs tokens into either Zur the Enchanter or Obeka, Splitter of Seconds.

Hilarious card. I used to have an old 5-color Shrines deck whose only creature was Zur the Enchanter , whom I could Polymorph tokens into. Now I may have to rebuild it with two creatures and have it be a coin flip who I end up with. :P Only problem is she wants evasion added evasion. [br] 1711737261...

I think it's probably playable in White+X but not Green decks that want their ramp to be creatures instead of artifacts. That's narrow but it's not nothing, and this is probably the best version of this effect we've gotten in years. That's more or less where I come down, so long as you have multico...

How often to you think this fella will trigger twice? Of all the games I've played Knight of the White Orchid , he's nearly always caught me up to at least one opponent, so I don't think the likelihood is high. Still, it's a 3/3 vigilance for 3 so nice value regardless. Just not sure I prefer it ove...

Despite the huge glut of legendaries in the set, none of them were tempting to build

... until now

Couple new cards that caught my eye Hellspur Posse Boss -- Beetleback Chief with upsides Brimstone Roundup -- In my case this is also an enchantment, but all in all an efficient token generator that's pretty easy to trigger for decks like these Geralf, the Fleshwright -- Another Talrand of sorts

Thank you so much for the input Blackbird ! Skullclamp You know, I just sort of reflexively slapped Skullclamp in there since that's what I always do when I play go-wide decks, but your input is correct and this deck has no trouble drawing cards. The deck is probably better off running a bit more tu...

Timmies and Legendary addicts are eating good this season, neither of which are me, so I think my wallet will be pretty safe. Deck based comments: Neyith Fight Club -- Far and away the best treated here Aloe Alchemist -- Grants trample, triggers 3+power effects like Packleader, very efficient little...

Chun-Li loves the Pip-Boy. She Likes ratcheting up her power for lifelink/double strike Likes looting instants into the graveyard Likes untapping lands to cast spells on the attack step As usual, I think a deck doesn't love multiple diluted options unless all of them are relevant. But ho boy when t...

Very cool deck, Ruiner . At first glance at least I have a few questions/comments. In light of Kilian having Menace, is protection from creatures doing that much for you? I like Spirit Mantle for the efficiency and Unquestioned Authority for the card draw (especially if I can repeat it with cards li...
