It's worth noting that proxies solve both the cost and flavor problems with these cards, as well as that of expensive staples. Folks have already made various MTG versions of Negan & company. I've seen increased calls for banning the entire Reserved List in EDH in response to the controversial S...

I chose regional availability even though that doesn't affect me personally. It would be annoying to live somewhere they don't ship these to. The limited time and cost are also issues. Honestly, I'm not much bothered by these cards themselves and I hope they aren't banned in EDH. I'm worried about f...

Aren't these going to be available at for $50 for the full five, or $10 each? That's expensive but still significantly cheaper than many EDH staples.

The problem with doing it in verse is that then they can't ever print a version that purely in-universe. With these, the official names are tied to The Walking Dead. Regardless, they are still Magic cards and can be examined as such. Daryl, Hunter of Walkers ( link ) is rather unusual as a Gruul com...

It's vexing that WotC literally already did what the needed to do with these to assure community acceptance, but chose not to bother here. If they'd given these the Zilortha, Strength Incarnate treatment, folks wouldn't be nearly as upset. I know nothing about The Walking Dead, so these characters a...

Frames, art, & other aesthetic considerations count a great deal for me. Many of my decks began because I like how the commander looks. My oldest one is Dakkon Blackblade|LEG , which I made for sweet Richard Kane-Ferguson artwork. I run dubious cards like Boomerang|MIR , Consign to Dream , &...

Skyshroud Elf Obuun, Mul Daya Ancestor Generous Patron Overview This is the list I'm working with at the moment. It focuses on Elf synergies. The basic play pattern is to slam dorks into draw spells into more dorks & untap effects & draw spells until you reach enough resources to win. Mirro...

I'd just been lamenting how my Kynaios and Tiro of Meletis EDH deck can't run Yarok, the Desecrated. This helps! & it can even be cloned easily as it's not legendary.

One bounceland with amulet of vigor (oh neat, now we've made a THREE card combo), IF you can use all the land drops, will still leave you down 1 mana overall. If you've got 2 bouncelands I guess you could chain them together to get (your mana - 2) doubled (at the cost of having few lands on board),...

red does not have access to braingeyser, and would probably murder a person for access to Braingeyser. Sure, it's a bit better than Commune with Lava , but that card is awful. Confirming Wallycaine's point, my GRx spellslinger decks love Commune with Lava. Even an "awful" Braingeyser is h...

Lithoform Engine makes me think of that classic Mirari flavor text: "It offers you what you want, no what you need." Such cards do nothing on their own. They require both ample mana & other cards to cast to have an effect. Thankfully, in casual EDH, what would be win-more in other for...

Bruvac the Grandiloquent gets an sweet combo with Maddening Cacophony . I expect to see mill decks more frequently in this format thanks to all the love they've been giving mill lately. I'm also waiting for those games where the mill player kicks Cacophony & passes only to give someone else the...

Personally I plan to go Naya Elves! with Obuun. Oracle of Mul Daya , Mina and Denn, Wildborn , Quirion Ranger , & so on synergize with the landfall trigger. Selvala, Heart of the Wilds , Viridian Joiner , & Marwyn, the Nurturer benefit from Obuun's +1/+1 counters. Etc. If you want shenanigan...

I tried to resist, but I'm going to build Obuun, Mul Daya Ancestor (the leaked Naya commander). Why? The art, the flavor, & Naya Elves! ( Skyshroud Elf has a special place in my heart.) I'm don't much care for Obuun's mechanical abilities, but they'll have their uses. Marwyn, the Nurturer , Selv...

He goes off with Sword of the Animist . Not technically infinite, but N extra attacks where N is the the number of basics in your deck.

This doesn't work work because Moraug specifies "if it's your main phase" & the Sword trigger happens in the declare attackers step.

Thieving Skydiver is an instant staple. It's not necessarily better than Dack Fayden , but easier to cast & rewards creature synergies. Expect to see this lil Merfolk steal Sol Ring s a lot. kick for 0 to grab mana crypt! X can't be 0, so you have to kick it for at least 1 to steal a Crypt. Tha...

Linvala, Shield of Sea Gate is perfect for my Dakkon Blackblade deck. It needs cheap evasive to synergize with Sword of the Animist , Dowsing Dagger , & so on. It needs ways to protect Dakkon. It needs legendary creatures for Blackblade Reforged . & Dakkon's a Warrior, making party that muc...

I am quite curious as to how this works. It feels like you get to cast the instant later with the land upfront but I could be wayyyyyyyy off on that. The video explains this. From your hand, you can play it as an instant (the front face) or a land (the back face). Anywhere else, it counts only as t...

I guess they put the video up early by mistake & have now taken it down. Here is the reddit thread. It's an official video.

From this video.

Emiel goes infinite with Rasputin Dreamweaver, among other things. It's too bad color identity prevents Rasputin from running this.

Radha, Heart of Keld doesn't excite me but seems solid for my Saskia the Unyielding legendary-matters deck. I especially appreciate how Radha triggers Winota, Joiner of Forces on curve.

Terror of the Peaks looks amazing for both my Scion of the Ur-Dragon deck (Dragon tribal) & Hazezon Tamar deck (tokens). I hope the card ends up being affordable.

I hope they reprint Sylvan Library again soon with the new art or ban all of McNeill's cards. The latter option ends up with some bans which are somewhat awkward, at least to me, since this includes Fog|MIR with 22 printings and like 5 different arts total. That's a good point. It's possible they c...
