Re: Things That Go Click — Kurkesh, Onakke Ancient

30 Lands is way too few. Even cEDH builds run 34ish; with this, I'd go up to 38. What weltkrieg said. Not including mana doublers, I count his sources of mana (accelerants and lands) as 44 (31 lands as valakut is under win conditions). This is probably enough, but I agree that 2 or 3 more lands is ...

Re: Navigating players' pet peeves...

@Henlock @Treamayne

Wow, those players would probably hate me. For me, making weird obscure cards playable is one of the biggest draws of Commander as a format. People in my group have learned to respect cards like Heartseeker, Outmaneuver, Dying Wish, or Avarice Totem.

Things That Go Click — Kurkesh, Onakke Ancient

Re: Tormod + Prava - Tokens with +1 counters.

bobthefunny I personally would go for option 2). And not just double down on creatures, but double down on tokens. The deck does seem a bit unfocused ATM, which is strange considering both generals do token things. Athreos, Teysa 1.0, Ayli, Luminarch Ascension, Anointed Procession... Along with Tor...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Slate of Ancestry

Hmm, should I consider this for Zirda, the Dawnwaker? The decklist is very much in its infancy, but activation for 2 might be the push this little baby needs. Of course, the prime draw engine is going to be Diviner's Wand ;-)

Re: Tormod + Prava - Tokens with +1 counters.

bobthefunny Watching an episode of SCG's Commander Vs. made me realize these two would also do good work: Syr Konrad, the Grim — Has the same trigger as Tormod plus a bunch of others, he works with tokens, and he damages all opponents through a clogged-up board. Seems like a natural fit. The Cauldr...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

Ranar the Ever-Watchful will go straight into my Brago, King Eternal Tokens and Enchantments build. I can only imagine how many Tokens he can possibly amass late in the game. The "one or more" clause makes him significantly worse, unfortunately - you only get one token per Brago trigger. ...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Snake Umbra

How many other pingers can scale to kill indefinitely large targets? Without tapping? How many of those random X spells can spread to multiple targets? Some. Over multiple turns? Few. How much graveyard hate does red get? Not a lot. And this is all one card. You're taking a command, and judging it ...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Snake Umbra

The only person I've ever seen play Kumano is me in my Torbran deck. That's a shame, the card is awesome. He needs support, though. I don't think he's worth a slot it on his own. If you play pingers, he's kinda over the curve at 5CMC. If you want him for damage, well, any random X spell will probab...

In Gruul, you can slap this sucker on Kumano, Master Yamabushi and go to town. The only person I've ever seen play Kumano is me in my Torbran deck. I think Goblin Sharpshooter would be a good candidate. Slimefoot, the Stowaway sounds good, or, staying in those colors, one could simply enchant Thras...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

The +1 is sorta meh You don't think a repeatable, near-foolproof way to protect a creature from going to graveyard/exile will be good in Commander ? Saving on tax seems like a big deal to me. Remeber Derevi? Sure, this is not as good, but still, the advantage is there. I mean, say you've already ca...

Re: Ever wondered how to Shrike?

Gotcha. It's fun as a Commander deck, too. Like I said in the writeup, it's a more interesting, more friendly Uril. And I've had a Uril player in my group for many years, so I know what I'm talking about when I say that.

That UW pathway art sure is nice. I probably won't play a lot of them but man I like the art.

Anybody here played Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice? That's what this set's art reminds me of.

Re: Ever wondered how to Shrike?

Thanks! The Eidolon seems interesting. On-theme card draw always is. Yeah, I haven't really checked the newer sets too thoroughly, yet, since I only rarely can go out and play these days. Stupid 2020.

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

The Saga is so awesome! Exactly what Boros needed! Red has been more and more okay on the draw side of things as sets went on, but most of the playable cards in that arena are one card/turn deals. A bigger draw spell like this is a dream come true.

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Torment of Hailfire

As I see it played, they definitely overdid it with that "each opponent" part. If this card was single target, I'd say that would be properly balanced. The effect is basically your choice of one-sided board wipe/empty hand/death, and that's when the X is low. When it gets to around nine or...
