Some new cards just dropped. Urza's Cave looks just absurdly strong

A sort of 4 mana colorless Crop Rotation that can provide mana until you want the land, and dodges most stack interaction.

In a world where Gisa, Glorious Resurrector does all the same things but for free, I can't imagine ever playing this card outside of a thematic dedication to Snow. There are zombie and cleric synergies to account for. Still, I have both a zombie deck and a cleric deck, but haven't felt inclined to ...

*Annihilator is an inherently brutally unfun mechanic. Values of 1 or 2 are painful, but manageable, but 4+ can be back-breaking, and a lot of the eldrazi that see play also come with indestructible, and are themselves huge threats, so not only are you getting set further and further behind, your o...

One thing of note with Diregraf Colossus is that when doing a mass-reanimation when it enters it sees all the zombies from the yard at the time it entered. even when they all are currently on the stack with abilities which also funny enough includes itself. I have been a big fan of Bone Miser in my...

Blood Artist. If you're already looking at making tokens, BA can cash them in (with a little help) and generator a trigger on each player's turn.

Honestly, I'm not even sure if I can identify why, but my interest in every eldrazi is zero. It's like they all have a big sign that says "this card isn't for you". Same. For me, it's a couple of things. *Annihilator is an inherently brutally unfun mechanic. Values of 1 or 2 are painful, ...

Indestructible artifacts are also pretty tricky to deal with - while creature exile is pretty common, it is less common for people to go out of their way to exile artifacts and enchantments. This means you are likely to have the opportunity to protect your commander a second time if it is removed. ...

Makes sense actually. Okay cutting mana rocks besides sol ring, and adding in more 1-2 drops and gonna look at my taplands. Maybe the flavor of Field of the Dead is not worth it even though the new art is sick. don't forget Springleaf Drum -- very good with 1 drop zombies letting you power out a 3 ...

I was havin a convo with @Rumpy5897 the other day and I stand by my hope which is that they ban these and then print legendary versions of them into the damn ground so everyone can have nice manabases. :D personally getting closer to being on board with a flat out banning of the RL in EDH. Mox Diam...

Speed of the format, too. When turn 1 plays were less common, playing a tapped land on 1 because you don't have the basic to get your land in untapped (for example) wasn't a big deal, but now it often means a loss of tempo.

I hate the RL.

@materpillar In terms of the 3 cards in question, yes, once the first copy of Deluge resolves and you cast one of the Epic spells, you are done. The other spells can no longer be cast because Epic prevents it. Copying a card and casting the copy is still casting. You would need something like Hive ...

Yeah I feel like cranking out free time warps and extra combat steps and stuff is pretty well trodden ground I'd like to avoid at this point, but it's always there. I kinda like the idea of setting 4-5 attackers up and craterhoofing the board with some kinda ridiculousnes. maybe Soulfire Eruption f...

The Ultimatums are some flashiest options: Genesis Ultimatum - Probably the coolest of the bunch, but if you're heavy on spells, you get less benefit. Cruel Ultimatum - Just seems mean and kind of pointless if you have a wide enough board that any more easily castable spell would have killed the pla...

I wish I could hate a post :D 😁😆🤣 Surge to Victory Can we think of any cards that give this kind of stupid effect along with some pump? I'm not having any luck, and I'm also struggling with super powerful hits for this outside of just comboing with Seize the Day or something. :D Eternal Dominion . ...

I keep meaning to find a cut in Marchesa, the Black Rose to try this out. That deck already attacks with creatures it's happy to see die, and has sac outlets to bin them after combat damage, but before combat ends, and doesn't lose board presence in doing so. It also can make good use of the ping. J...

Warp World?

I feel like Wort is one of those commanders that you want to build around, but it coming down so late makes it difficult to do so. 6 mana for a commander is a lot already, but then also really needing additional open mana to cast something makes it very awkward. I've played against a few Wort decks,...

Since my playgroup is cool with proxies that is not a problem for me. How would you use it. If I remember there are some combos with it and gary. Rot Hulk can just be straight value--drop it in and get back 3 zombies. Especially easy if you have Rooftop Storm, or a spot reanimation spell. The "...

I feel like I would always default to Glamdring if this effect is something I cared about. For 1 more mana on the equip you get a pretty significant upgrade, I think.

I think it's totally reasonable to be running more lords here. Varina doesn't have to be built leaning into combo so hard. I actually like that the deck can very easily pivot amongst aggro, aristocrats, and combo. It just depends on how efficient you want to be, how aggressive/cutthroat. For myself,...

Well very very surprising Satoru, the Infiltrator card just became the chase one just seconds after release (It went for $8 to $20 in just one day.) I just got one on TCG for about $6. Were you looking at a different version? Nope https://www.mtgstocks.com/prints/109392-satoru-the-infiltrator I'm n...
