There's been a leak regarding the Foretell ability, and while it's rather flexible, it still requires you to activate the ability during your turn. So abusing Ranar the Ever-Watchful during opponents' turns is now clear to be very limited, which makes it a lot less appealing to be tried out. Plus hi...

Ranar does not work with Containment Priest , since he works only when exiling cards from your hand or the battlefield. So I'm counting the number of stuff that we run that can exile stuff: Chrome Mox Force of Will Force of Negation Scroll Rack Swords to Plowshares Path to Exile Winds of Abandon Cha...

I'm looking at Ranar the ever-watchful with curious intent. It will likely not be stellar, but it has some great synergies with its last ability, like with Path to Exile or Winds. It's nice that we can generate a blocker each time we blink something. Sadly does not work with Adventure cards. I guess...

The most insane way I won with Mirrorweave was versus an infect player. They had played Ichor Rats early in the game, and at a certain point I had plenty of spirits but 6 poison counters, so I had to be very careful. The others were at 5 counters, and the infect player themselves with 3. As soon as ...

Why do you have Mindblade Render? I feel like that card is dead much more often than Pox.

I'm actually pretty stoked about the new Birthing pod variant, but I'm pretty sure it will be quite expensive cash wise. The thing is that while I don't have one theme with a million creatures, I have 2-3 tribes, each with between 5-10 cards. So this could theoretically work, it would just be less p...

I have never been disappointed with FoF, and I expect you will come to like it as well. I like that it's a card advantage monster that tests both yours and your opponents' skill, plus it's actually fun for your opponents to interact with. I can also attest to the power of DTT. Even though you only g...

I think the prime mono U deck for cheating out fat artifacts is Arcum Dagsson , but that card can get very disgusting very fast. I like Sai better as a commander, he's like a Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain that's much less explosive. One of the commanders that makes Skullclamp even more ridiculous tha...

My thoughts are that Jeweled Lotus is ridiculously powerful for commanders that just want to keep casting, or for commanders who can abuse the artifact. For instance, Korvold, Fae-Cursed King and Kozilek, the Great Distortion . That is even without mentioning the monocolored commanders that will wan...

Any thoughts on Akroma's Will that I mentioned earlier? Giving our team double strike and protection from everything seems like a great way to end the game, and if it won't end then we'll be life linking the hell out of it. Also the card shop ran out of both Hullbreacher and Keeper of the Accord . I...

Why not both? Having two fetchable utility lands seems awesome. It's great in particular that Knight of the White Orchid can fetch Mistveil. I think I might recommend to take out Strip Mine. As much as it's powerful to get rid of opposing lands, you're also sacrificing a land drop to do so, and I th...

I myself play all of the Talisman, Guild Signet and Arcane Signet, but then again I also don't run Mox Diamond . I'm also cutting Archaeomancer - it has sometimes been a 4 mana 1/2 that either doesn't save me from a bad situation, or completely whiffs. Smothering Tithe also feels pretty bad when you...

If you don't have access to your commander, I'd look for some redundancy in the 99. Mayhem Devil is awesome and Havoc Jester seem decent. If not, I'd look for a plan B for you plan to execute, while you wait for the correct time to pull the combo. To me, that subtheme might be stax. Archfiend of Dep...

My guess is that you started just from seeing how you can best abuse the commander's ability. I am, in general, disappointed by your choice in enchantments. They don't add up to a cohesive game plan. You don't have a lot of creatures, but have plenty of auras, as well as cards that care about them. ...

I'm absolutely baffled by some of your choices. I mean really, putting Nissa of Shadowed Boughs in Karador but not here? Nahiri's Lithoforming and Reshape the Earth also strike me as super win more. Slotting them in while slotting out Omnath, Locus of Rage is just so counterintuitive to me - having ...

I'm not a fan of this list, because the creature synergies are still a big part of it, however they're not enough to actually get you ahead. My own Windgrace is heavier on control, repeatedly destroying the board to profit from my stuff not dying to the wraths. My win conditions are several: The fir...

Monarch is tricky for us. It's nice to draw an extra 1 card per turn, but the threat of giving that ability can be game-losing. Also, I'm not confident enough in our ability to take it back, even though we have plenty of fliers. Also, if I wanted a blinkable fog effect, I'd play Knight-Captain of Eo...

So an interaction that has been pointed out to me was that Hullbreacher and Vendilion Clique are great together, in that when you have Hullbreacher in play Clique functions as an ETB Thoughtseize that nets you a treasure token. This definitely sealed the flying package for me along with Isperia the ...

Ok guys, Hullbreacher is the real deal, what we've all been waiting for. I can't attach the image, but it's a 3/2 flash for 2U. And it reads: If an opponent would draw a card except the first card they would draw in their draw step, create a treasure token instead. This is not only an asymmetrical S...

I for one think the new Lotus is absolutely toxic and should see a ban, and that's even without considering the social aspect of WotC's greedy cashgrab. True, Ephara is not as explosive as some of the decks that can abuse the card, but you have to admit that if a t1 commander play is considered aggr...

How do you guys compare Confounding Conundrum and Overburden? Both effects look really strong to me versus battlecruisers and er-dur-hur decks and heavy ramp, one cantrips but is narrower while the other is wider yet riskier.

Are we going to talk about Sphinx of the Second Sun ? Because I think it's great. It's super expensive, but it can easily be worth it: A 6/6 flier can help us finish the game, Its effect gives us each of the following: an untap phase (untapping ALL of our permanents, including lands, artifacts, and ...

Not to mention that Menace is a good ability to have early game to ensure hitting the opponents' faces and casting Rakdos.

You usually can't tell if WOTC is going to ruin something until they do it a second time. This set will likely be the make it or break it for Partner. If they somehow manage to just add some more fun options without superseding too many approaches it'll be nice. I'm not really sure either way but I...

I'd like to steer the conversation in a more practical and straightforward tone. I see the subject as interesting and worthy of discussion, and I feel like we aren't making much progress by focusing on the disputer than by focusing on the arguments. So I'd like to analyze the Partner situation in co...
