Random predictions and/or hopes: -valuable reprints. Stoneforge Mystic is #1 on my list, but Oracle of Mul Daya, Swords of X & Y, Cabal Coffers, and Weathered Wayfarer are also on that list. -more exploration of multiplayer-friendly design space for white and red. -some support for monocolor -m...

I don't run Quicksilver Amulet in my Lyra deck either, and I've never felt the need for it. That's a smart cut, in my books. Like you observe, while Angels are high CMC, most of the really good ones are in the 5-7 range, and other discounts like Urza's Incubator, Herald's Horn, Oketra's Monument or ...

i actually think we might see a mono-W or mono-R deck this year. C18 had a pretty remarkable amount of support aimed directly at those two colors (Boreas Charger, Isolated Watchtower, Treasure Nabber, Endless Atlas, whichever enchantment that was that zaps other enchantments), and they still lag far...

I think the crux of the issue is that there are lots of players out there who love crushing casual games with high/max power decks, and if you put one of those people in a game with three casual decks at a LGS, they can and will ruin the game for everyone else. As Sheldon himself has said, the cEDH...

I think this conversation would be seen very differently if instead of thinking of cEDH as its own format, it is simply seen as Commander at a very high power level. I believe the vast majority of cEDH players play cEDH for the same reasons people play Commander - a casual, multiplayer game type. T...

I think you all do a fine job of helping people be heard. I think the BEST thing you could do is an AMA on reddit. Head over to /r/EDH and just answer people’s questions (with the help of some moderation from the mod team) and help people know they are being heard. /r/EDH is alarmingly toxic and fr...

Sure did! Angel tribal was my gateway into Commander. I originally built Boros Angels with Gisela, Blade of Goldnight at the helm. About nine months after that, the spoilers for Lyra Dawnbringer dropped. I cut the red and never looked back. I also swapped out Gishath for Zacama, Primal Calamity once...

The inception of the CAG as a group of highly visible and highly active content creators/community members in and of itself offers a great opportunity here. With bans like Paradox Engine which are bound to stir the pot a bit, having an RC member or members make the rounds on the CAG's various shows ...

I totally get it regarding Answered Prayers; the art is gorgeous. Can't wait for a playmat of that one. Angelic Destiny would be my #2 choice for the Cradle cut since most of your creatures are already flying and Angels, but I assume that's another one which you'd prefer to keep thanks to the art/th...

I run Lyra Angel Tribal myself, and let me tell you, Cradle of Vitality is an absolute must-have in this list. It gets out of control so quickly with her, since you can activate it on each separate lifelink trigger and you're attacking with a few very beefy creatures, rather than a wide board. It al...
