Niambi, Esteemed Healer is perfect for my Ephara, God of the Polis deck.

In my opinion, WOTC should also buy back all cards with McNeill's art and make new versions of cards like Darkness. I hate having cards in my collection done by a neo-Nazi. I've personally decided to move away from cards with art by Harold McNeill. I bought a Nether Void a little while ago because ...

Bizarrely, banning these cards for being racist is at least temporarily increasing value. Anyone can sell their Invoke Prejudice on Ebay right now for easily $250+ after fees. (Lowest buy-it-now is $330 for an Italian copy.) So Wizards hasn't cost people money yet. Even cards folks think might catch...

This tweet sums up the situation. Also see Rich Shay 's reaction. I'm happy criticism has finally forced Wizards to change Invoke Prejudice's multiverse ID & address racism in the game more broadly, but the way they're doing so appears awkward at best. I hope they follow through & make meani...

Arha doesn't feel blue at all. If the "infinite" sac outlet commander were to have a third color it should be red imho. Thanks for the feedback. That's a great idea. I was thinking blue purely for mechanical reasons: Dance of Many , Detention Sphere , etc. You're right red is more appropr...

Arha, Promised to the Void WUB Creature - Human Cleric Sacrifice a permanent: You lose 1 life. 3/3 Unu, Soul of the Multiverse WUBRG Creature - Avatar As long as Unu is in the command zone, you may spend mana produced by basic lands as though it were mana of any color. 1 : Add one mana of any color...

Jegantha, the Wellspring paired with Sisay, Weatherlight Captain is a developing cEDH deck. I suspect it's viable. CEDH TV has done a few videos recently. Various combo lines exist that only need Sisay & Jegantha to get started.

RIP Flash.

C20 Fierce Guardianship —This new hotness probably goes in a number of my more competitive lists: Najeela, the Blade-Blossom , Elsha of the Infinite , Aminatou, the Fateshifter , Kalamax, the Stormsire , Will Kenrith & Rowan Kenrith , Yidris, Maelstrom Wielder , & Tasigur, the Golden Fang (...

This looks great. Thank you for sharing the list & explaining it. I hope Fox King can become a regular part of cEDH. I do wonder about the number of mana sinks you've got & the exclusion of any way to win through Null Rod effects. Jace plus Pact is always a solid backup plan as those cards b...

I expected the P/T average on the monsters to be closer to 9/9 range rather than 6/6 since the set is "lair of the behemoths" This surprised me as well & continues to feel a touch off. It's not really a problem & I'm also quite pleased with the set, but I feel like Ikoria didn't d...

I approximately concur with Dirk's assessment. I'd put Zirda, the Dawnwaker in first on both lists, but it's close. Zirda's cost reduction is shockingly broad. Gyruda, Doom of Depths is tricky because the card does have an impressive amount of combo potential. & the restriction gets less brutal ...

I just want to pop in & stress how much I adore companions. I'd prefer elegant rules, but I'm fine with whatever contortions if it means I get to bond with cute critters & have a mechanical incentive to build my decks in exciting new ways. I applaud WotC for making companions & for persu...

I guess I might as well use Kaheera, the Orphanguard with my creaturelelss Estrid, the Masked deck. This will provide an emergency blocker & make Earthcraft less of a dead card on its own. The vigilance is even relevant thanks to Stasis . Sweet. (Eli Shiffrin just confirmed that this is indeed h...

I'm fascinated by companions & trying to figure out a way to incorporate as many of them as possible in my EDH decks. Keruga, the Macrosage vexes me because of how awful it seems: a brutal restriction for a mediocre payoff. Aluren was the first trick to come to mind. Dump a bunch of three-cost c...

I don't see how Narset's Reversal creates a loop with Kalamax. You cast Reversal & get the copy, targeting the original. You copy the original & return it to your hand. Then what do you target with the copy? Also, Seedborn Muse shuts off Kalamax by untapping it. That seems bad. The list I'm ...

Twinning Staff has an impressive number of combos along the lines of Palinchron . For example, Izzet Guildmage plus Manamorphose gets there. I think it's fine & can't wait to build & play with the Staff in the Kalamax, the Stormsire list I'm working on (intended as fringe cEDH). My point is...

Twining staff will get banned. Way too easy to combo with. Explain? We're in a world where Swarm Intelligence and Mirari both roam free. I don't believe it'll get banned, but the Staff vastly more powerful than either of those. It goes infinite with two forks & an instant/sorcery on the stack, ...

Twinning Staff goes infinite with two forks & something else, which is nice. Simply cast any instant or sorcery like Lightning Bolt , then cast a fork (such as Twincast ) plus another fork (say Fork ) targeting the first fork. The 2nd fork resolves & copies 1st fork twice. The first copy ta...

Now that we've seen all the C20 new commanders, Kalamax, the Stormsire remains my favorite by far. I am going to be build it. Otrimi, the Ever-Playful is tempting, but I think I'm going to stick with Tasigur, the Golden Fang . We'll see. I'm glad none of these novel options seems excessively powerful.

Obosh, the RB companion, looks solid. Doubling damage is quite the payoff, & being limited to odd cards strikes me as better than being limited to even ones.

Cold-Eyed Selkie strikes me as the best thing to do with Otrimi, & that can easily happen on turn three via a dork. Needle Specter & Cephalid Constable are also amazing if you want to be a touch mean. Apart from Kathril, I like all of these new commanders well enough, though I'm not incline...

I doubt I'll build it, but Otrimi, the Ever-Playful looks like a blast with Cold-Eyed Selkie, Needle Specter, Cephalid Constable, & similar.

I'm thrilled by the return of cycling in Ikoria. I'd finally settled on Jodah, Archmage Eternal as my cycling general & huge beasts with cycling are perfect fit for that deck. Gavi, Nest Warden probably gets a spot. Drannith Stinger definitely does.

If I cast Bandage targeting myself & then cast Radiate targeting Bandage , what happens? Do I create a copy for each other player, each creature, & each planeswalker? Oracle text for Bandage : "Prevent the next 1 damage that would be dealt to any target this turn. Draw a card."
