I've been tinkering with a list for awhile, and mine is more focused on being grindy than explosive. I think your angle might be better, I may switch to that. Anyway, as a result, my tentative list has more recursive creatures: Brood of Cockroaches Ebondeath, Dracolich Oathsworn Vampire Persistent S...

Gonna love to flash in Frayed Rope . Can someone explain to me how Frayed Rope works? I've read it several times and I don't understand. Like: When the Fraying Line enters the battlefield, put a rope token on target creature you control. - Okay, I get this, pretty clear At the start of each player'...

Edit: that said, I think part of the fun of a tcg as compared to a lcg is the collecting aspect, and some cards being hard to acquire is part of that. Ofc the cradles of the world are the most rare, but dockside is more of a stepping stone rare. Something a newer player might be proud of. I'll agre...

I forgot about the 2 cmc rock thing. Ship has sailed on that one imo. Printing another 2cmc rock isn't going to make much of a difference unless it has extra utility. So, fine, don't push utlity+ 2cmc rocks, but another Fractured Powerstone isn't going to matter a bit. Caveat: I have not listened t...

Maybe it's selfish of me, but I don't like reprinting powerhouse cards either. A lot of what keeps those cards from being more ubiquitous is their cost. We're not playing a competitive format where access to cards is necessary to play. The reality on the ground is that, as busted as mana crypt is, ...

RE: the tribal discussion: I think tribal commanders are generally popular and the people reading and expanding this thread skew heavily toward "enjoys deck building almost as much if not more than playing" and simple tribal commanders are not going to appeal to that crowd as much (I am se...

Unrelated to deck construction, what are you doing for dungeons? Like do you have a set plan for "I always do this one first, then this one, then the last one," or do you just adjust based on the board state? Really curious what your insight is as to dungeon completion/repetition.

My initial reaction to Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait was "are you effing kidding me, another big/mana, all-in-one Simic commander?" However, I actually think Aesi is good in that it fills a particular hole: Aesi is powerful enough and provides enough ramp that you can play a Kraken/Leviathan...

Archelos, Lagoon Mystic!

Cycling lands? Untapped!
Lazy zombie tokens? Untapped!
Worn Powerstone? Untapped!

I'm tired and unimaginative today, but I'm sure it'll be nuts. Good flavor text, too.

Flavorfully seems like Time Vault would be fun.
