So, I had my first game last night. It was a brutal 3 hour game so I am going to have a hard time trying to recap all that much so I will give some cliffnotes. 1) I should probably have shuffled more as I opening handed 2 plains + Gaea's Cradle , kept the hand and proceeded to not draw a land in the...

A couple of recent(ish) additions seem to conflict with the Eye of Singularity . Bishop of Wings , Resplendent Angel , Parhelion II , Dawn of Hope . Do you find yourself nonboing yourself too much? One combo you can add to the primer that you have is using Emeria Shepherd + Solemn Simulacrum + Alta...

The first player advantage is one that is compounded on by the faster your games are. I have actually seen a VERY big uptake in this issue with faster formats like modern as well. The less competitive a group is the less it really seems to be an issue. I have seen very similar results from how impor...

There are fair ways to run Flash (assuming it ever feels fair). But realistically, I see very little downside in banning it as its hardly a card that people often run. My issue is more with consistency of the banned list that I would argue against banning Flash. If you were to consider banning Flash...

I would rather see Balance unbanned than see a return of Sylvan Primordial . I actually can't think of any other card that I supported a ban for as much as I did the banning of primordial. I honestly don't really foresee a future where I can support unbanning primordial. I had to live through super ...

My preference is for a game to go 10-15 turns. I have decks that are faster than that as do my opponents but I feel like there is a decent back and forth at that point. I would say an ideal game of commander runs something like an 1 - 1.5 hours. I would generally say that anything that ends in seven...

Has anyone looked into Sevinne, the Chronoclasm with Pariah effects? I did a little preliminary digging into it but haven't looked all that deep.

I figured I would clean it up a bit. I am not sure what that last section is supposed to be as its sort of like.... miscellaneous stuff after having grouped everything else by type. If you quote this post you can see how I organized things and copy / paste this out if you would like. COMMANDER 1 Sra...

Any thoughts towards Mox Amber ? I am not sure about it but given how cheap Sram is its could be nice. I don't really run any of the moxen in my sram auras list but I saw you were running two and thought maybe this one would also be relevant given how cheap Sram is. Auratouched Mage is only slightly...

Yea Dockside Extortionist seems kind of busted for this commander lol. I still think that overall he is probably over hyped but I guess time will tell. I guess maybe in metas where games go real fast with a lot of combo he might be good but as games get longer he probably gets worse in most decks.

Any thoughts on adding Haven of the Spirit Dragon ? The use of the land ramp auras is a bit interesting. Usually the fact that they might get swept up by non land sweepers or someone's Aura Shards is reason that I avoid them for just land ramp. Maybe you are running them because they are four mana r...

I did a Feather, the Redeemed ETB / flickers thing recently and that went over well. I had dabbled with Ephara previously though with it and with the new M2020 things I thought about it is all. I really enjoy when flicker effects are profitable and there aren't a lot of commanders that actually feel...

There are also a few ways to repeatedly flicker like having a Archaeomancer with effects that flicker 2+ creatures like Eerie Interlude or the numerous Displace effects. Its "mostly" not infinite combo stuffs but you could go that route if you wanted with things that untap lands . I always...

I almost revisited my idea of flicker Ephara when considering Agent of Treachery and Cavalier of Dawn . I know it doesn't really pertain to your list but man..... Cloudshift ing those guys sounds fantastic. To me, all of these cards feel much more Brago material than Ephara, especially Agent. Brago...

I have a Jori En, Ruin Diver that focuses on chaining cantrips and using token generation tactics alongside damage pingers to dish out a lot of damage. The deck is ABSOLUTELY not a big dumb spell kind of deck but its really fun when you push like 10 spells in a turn and everyone is just crying. It h...

I played Lin Sivvi for years back a few years. I had a primer at one point which is a bit out of date on salvation but I will link it anyways. I think you have too many rebels. Its true that having more of them gives you a wider toolbox but I found that in a lot of cases there were just rebels that ...

Cheers! Yeah that's pretty fair. Sometimes people just attack me and I can't really do much about it lmao, especially in the air. However, it looks like our lists operate pretty differently. The board presence in my list is generally pretty low, which makes me vulnerable but also makes my apparent ...

Glad to see another player on the squee plan. I cant wait to get my hands on Skyfire Phoenix . I constantly have issues with defense while playing squee unfortunately. It has been getting so bad I have actually been eyeing Darksteel Gargoyle . :unamused: I love the brass balls of Final Fortune effec...

My expectations of the commanders I will see the most of: Rayami, First of the Fallen - Its a very different kind of build your own voltron commander. I am not really sure but the other legends in this wedge just felt really narrow and more awkward in my opinion. Most of what I have heard so far see...

I wouldn't be too upset about rift or studies getting reprinted (well except that I don't have much love lost for playing with or against rhystic study tbh - but monetarily I wouldn't care). But I've got a big ol' expensive collection. If the magic economy tanked I'd lose a LOT of money, asset-wise...

[*] Morph Deck - The problem I have with this precon is that 3/4 of the legends in this precon have nothing to do with morph HOLD UP - Rayami DOES have synergy with morph - she comes down on-curve after a morph, and the morph can have all sorts of spicy keyword abilities that will count even if it ...

My thoughts: Good: Reprints - There are a number of cards that I would actually intentionally play in a finished deck with some of these commanders in their precons. Seeing these $5 rares and what not is GREAT to see. Landbases - I might be overstating things but I feel like these are some of the be...

How has the Lotus Field been going? I've had this thing where white has quite a few land ramp cards only when behind opponents, and this seems like a perfect solution to turning them back on again. Thats the idea. I haven't actually found it yet but there can be some downsides to it too which tends...

Well, I think we are at the point that the C19 product won't have any more new white cards. Maybe another artifact but I thought I would give my thoughts here as I actually feel like there are a few decent options: Commander's Insignia - I like the idea they were going for here but my issue is more ...
