Oh, forgot to answer this question. Not looking more than about $300 total landed costs, so Serra's Sanctum is automatically out. Lol. :rofl: And I do have some, but a lot of it I do not own at this time. What I do have is what's left over from busting a different token matters deck. As I told you ...

heartless conscription - gonti getting reposted to r/im14andthisisdeep I though Heartless Conscription was over costed trash at first, but then I thought about it as Farewell that you pay 2 more mana for and can't hit non-creatures..... but with the HUGE upside that it merely "bounces" yo...

I think Pest Control probably has some kinda modern applications or something. kills Delver of Secrets // Insectile Aberration and stuff too I guess? and rhino tokens from Crashing Footfalls ? This is precisely my read on it. Interesting hate card against the meta in older formats..... and worth ba...

First, I will note that you don't need to attack with Karlach specifically for her extra combat to trigger, so all giving her Haste does is add 5 commander damage to the attack. Thus, while I think a small equipment package is a reasonable direction to take for other reasons, I wouldn't go all in on...

Substitute Synthesizer is bananas in Mishra, Eminent One. The war form token copies retain their mana value, meaning that you're getting a free construct and scry 2 with your warform, And then as you copy other things you will continue to get a steady stream of constructs.

Obeka with the Court cycles is the best suggestions I've seen. With eight upkeeps you can just mill the table out with Court of Cunning for example. My main issue with her is simply that there is a very narrow list of upkeep triggers that can genuinely close the game like that, and your deck list is...

New Eriette is interesting from a design perspective. Because of the MV restriction, she wants you to play way more 4 and 5 mana auras than most enchantress decks would be comfortable with. But because the creature does not return when she dies, the opponents often won't be able to get their stuff b...

• "you get that many additional upkeep steps after this phase."

Oh, this is either jank or broken.

Curious to see whether or not this can be put in the command zone. My money is on yes.

The recent Boros Phyrexia precon had some banger cards for this, with Neyali, Suns' Vanguard being a draw engine that can impulse draw up to 6 cards per turn with your 2 combats, and also give your token army double strike. Otharri, Suns' Glory can make 1 token on the first attack, then 2 more on th...

In the 99 I think new Tinybones is a bit awkward, and in the command zone I think it's a bit underpowered. It's a card that needs evasion, pump, and for you to mill/discard/etc your opponents. That's not impossible, (Mothman comes to mind immediately as giving you two out of three of those in the co...

Contaminated Drink makes me wonder how I value rad counters. Self-mill is good, life loss is bad. Is the former worth the latter? It's essentially free bonus cards in Kess, so it seems like an upgrade over Pull from Tomorrow , but that deck also puts a fair amount of pressure on its life total. Pro...

Commander Sofia Daguerre might have to find a place in Éowyn, Shieldmaiden human tribal, but I'm not sure what to cut for her. Maybe? The legendary restriction is very narrow, but there aren't that many removal spells on human type creatures in those colors. Really wish it said "historic perma...

Even if it just had a little bit of extra on the body, 7/7 or an extra keyword? Or maybe a monstrous cost that is cheaper. If it wasn't seven mana and eating my entire turn to activate then I would be more enthusiastic about it. But as it is you are paying a ton of mana for a marginally on rate body...

A bit disappointed in Alpha Deathclaw by virtue of it's sheer mana cost. 13 mana into that permanent, and they can respond to the Monstrous activation to prevent the second removal trigger? Yikes. Even if it had relevant other text it still wouldn't be amazing at this cost. Might end some precon bio...

I do agree that the Surveil Lands are likely better than a lot of our budget/precon lands, especially if you are enfranchised enough to have Fetchlands already. Snarls already come in tapped in 3 color decks a significant fraction of the time and don't otherwise do anything, Surveil is better than S...

House being a Mardu Dicerolling Commander really shows the designers don't understand him as a character. He really should be a Dimir Artifact Commander, maybe a lord, or maybe a Coastal Piracy in the command zone. Something like that. He is very much anti chance as a character, with plans within pl...

Also for the Mangara comparison, he specifies that the two creatures attacking have to be attacking you, while Trouble does not Idk what your trying to say, both cards require two creatures to be coming at YOU. It's fine, it's going to be played, it's not the messiah that's going to fix mono-white ...

On top of what Yeti1069 said, I would also like to remind everyone that this is in the weaker card draw color. Arguably not the weakest anymore with the amount of support it's gotten recently, that one a probably goes to red. But white is still generally weaker than the unrestricted colors like blac...

It's a punisher effect, and not guaranteed to trigger in the first place. No matter what your opponents do, they will always trigger Smothering Tithe from their natural draw step, or Rhystic Study whenever they cast a spell. But there are plenty of turn cycles (especially in the early game) where o...

Oh, also mark my words: Trouble in Pairs is the next Smothering Tithe and won't be reprinted for a few years. It potentially draws 9+ cards a round (allowing for someone casting 2 spells/drawing 2 cards on your turn). Much like with Tithe it could potentially hit 40ish$, though it's generic enough t...

On the precons: Disguise and Cloak just aren't worth while without a deeper card pool sadly. The new cards in the precon are a step in the right direction, but the mechanic is rough from an efficiency perspective and they aren't willing to print the kinds of effects they need to print to make this s...

In related Clue news, how playable will Emissary Green be? As a commander I can't imagine opponents are going to let you attack with it more than once. I could be wrong. In monogreen, the haste options are somewhat limited, and the ramp from the treasures is a lot less necessary. I could easily see...

Barbed Servitor not being able to block is rough, but I almost think it would be too good if it could. Cheaper Stuffy Doll that also draws cards and has a power stat for something like deathtouch? But no, this is primarily going into decks that play things like Brash Taunter and Boros Reckoner . Wh...

So 5 Mana gets you 1 target x1 copy, 8 Mana gets you 2 targets x2 Copies, 11 Mana gets you 3 targets x3 Copies (that is +9 mana right there if you just target lands!), 14 Mana gets you 4 targets x4 Copies. If someone has a damage dealer that's probably just lethal by copying something like Gary. 4 G...
