I don't understand that chart. :hmm: I got a laugh. I think I understand it: Form: A purist would say "we're looking at one drop creatures", neutral is "we're looking at a creature of any mana value", and rebel is "we're looking at a card of any mana value.." Function:...

In Modern EDH you're a fool to not pack a bit of graveyard hate - there's simply too many great commanders who make their graveyard a second hand. With that said, this card is a bit awkward. It won't disrupt Raise Dead effects, for instance, and nonland means this doesn't block fetches, ramp, or any...

I preordered the full set of MoM Precons (mostly for Planechase), but Kasla strikes me as one Commander I might want to actually build around. Six mana is a ton for a commander, but good deckbuilding might just allow us to reliably slam a turn 3 or 4 Kasla which is totally absurd. Punching stuff int...

So has everything been spoiled? I don't know how you're supposed to tell, XD

I think yes at this point - there may be a few more "Multiverse Legends" leaking out slower but I think all the new cards are officially spoiled.

My wife's favorite tribe is Zombies. Her first love was playing zombie tribal in OG Innistrad Block (since that's when she started playing). Nowadays we've moved to Commander exclusively, and tried many, many takes on zombies in EDH...all to their own downfall. - Mikaeus, the Unhallowed felt like an...

A few weeks ago, an occasional-player in my local group showed up with a new Zagras, Thief of Heartbeats deck, and played this card. I think that illustrates the level of reading comprehension I'm dealing with. You need a new playgroup man. Sun Tzu playing with caveman can't be a good time for eith...

Noxious Field really takes me back. Withering Wisps is another Pestilence. Spinning Darkness could get some play here. Modal counters could do work, like Archmage's Charm or Mystic Confluence . When do you plan on playing Rona? Early or late? Withering Wisps is mostly better than Pestilence, actual...

Our boy Urabrask got the last laugh - card seems INSANE, and maybe the best of the Praetor Sagas? - A 4/4 first strike for 2RR . Meh, not bad... - Deal 1 damage when I cast an instant or sorcery? To target opponent and not all opponents? Guttersnipe is stronger! - ...wait, and add R ?!?!? Okay, now ...

Rona, Herald of Invasion fascinates me. Our phyrexian fangirl has finally, finally gotten her ultimate wish and can now transform into a uber-charged Phyrexian Obliterator . Don't let your dreams just be memes, ya'll. What immediately struck me about Rona is that her ability triggers if you can fin...

That thallid straight up chugging that oil. I'm pretty sure that's only second to Steady Progress . Gotta say, people willingly taking the oil because "Oil is cool and Phyrexia is right" is a bit too real but is also hilarious. Special shout-out to Mutagen Connoisseur whose flavor text I ...

Change the Equation seems like a great card. Staple in counterspell decks? Not seeing it, really. As noted we have Counterspell and Mana Drain for unconditional 2 mana counters as well as Arcane Denial and Remand as unconditional 2MV counters with some pros and cons. I could see Baral, Chief of Com...

Was Shriveling Rot ever good? Seems like a ton of work to turn combats into boardwipes and then turn those boardwipes into draws. It seems to me this is pure overcosted jank, but I seem to recall Stalking Vengeance was once a format staple so - maybe this was also similarly fearsome once? It sit sat...

My own PSA (for me as much as anyone else) is that it's gonna be really hard to get a bead on how good battles are without playing with them. It has taken the greater MtG Hivemind about 10 years to get remotely competent at judging the playability of a planeswalker on reveal, and I anticipate Battle...

If your commander isn't the one making the tokens, this probably is too much of a "do nothing" for most decks; most decks simply don't have the critical mass of Treasure/Clue/Food makers to make this worthwhile. Treasure is by far the most populous of these tokens with 26 commanders (incl...

stuff like Teferi, Time Raveler totally bricks them. maybe teferi is the problem here XD battles feel like reverse planeswalkers, not sure how a battle YOU have to defend is going to be too different from having a planeswalker, but we'll see. Also, am I just dumb or does the "as long as this c...

I like the design space - looks like they've finally figured out the game mechanic they were going for with stuff like Monarch and the original planeswalkers. I think Venedrex is also right on where "Sieges" go to an opponent to defend, and "Fortifications" or whatever are cards ...

Given all the treasure support we've seen in the last two years (also Clue and Food, to a lesser extent), I'm shocked Academy Manufactor is still just $2-3. I guess with that said as I type, I get why: - If your commander isn't the one making the tokens, this probably is too much of a "do nothi...

As others have said, for most decks untapped >>>>>> tapped lands. Tapped lands are crippling for decks with low curves, and arguably more crippling for decks with higher curves since you're already playing behind. Lands that are only conditionally tapped ( Checklands , TangoLands ) are okay in decks...

I should note that Galina got a buff a few years back as she now can steal Planeswalkers (she steals any legendary permanent, but that's the most common legendary card outside of creatures). So I don't know if you need to necessarily pack Leyline of Singularity to make her functional.

Blessed to have a foil original printing Empress Galina which is in the 99 of Sygg, River Guide merfolk tribal. The card is...fine. Unlike most steals on a stick this doesn't end at end of turn or when Galina dies (see Overtaker , Willbreaker , Sower of Temptation ) but there is still competition - ...

I like Meteor Golem and Spine of Ish Sah if you can loop them, but they tend to be too slow in the average (non-Daretti) deck imo. I've started finding Duplicant similarly underwhelming. As others have pointed out if you can go big enough for these spells, you can probably afford to go a bit bigger ...

I anybody else really stumped on the flavour of Frodo, Sauron's Bane ? Why does he have lifelink? Why does he make your opponents lose the game? Why is getting tempted by the ring a good thing? Why is he Orzhov? Did Wizards read the same LOTR that I did? Honestly, come to think of it, this card wou...

Love the design of this card as a great payoff for Angel tribal and for Exalted tribal. Being 4MV in three colors makes her naturally very niche - a long long time ago when Rafiq of the Many was THE Bant Commander, she was seen often but I haven't seen her on a table in ages now since every Bant dec...

This is amazing - I've been toying with a Battle for Baldur's Gate JumpStart Box myself so it's cool to see someone else tackling this.

Legendary Creature – Elder Giant Dog So this is kind of scary, but there are only two Elder Giants, Kroxa and Uro in the game. So it is probably one of those two (or one of its implied siblings) along with Kunoros if we are sticking with the pairs have to be from the same plane. • Legendary Creatur...
