Re: [SCD] Koma, Cosmos Serpent
Koma is a higher powered casual commander. I own a Koma deck but actually it doesn't win as much as I would think given my playgroup's power level, so this is very much relative. How fast your decks are and how many answers do you have? Most blue decks in my playgroup for example run all the big hit...

Re: SCD: Brainstorm
The one mana draw spells are broken by any draw doubling effect like Teferi's Ageless Insight . If you are running, those they are extremely good. Drawing 6cards for U is just... disgusting. In Niv-Mizzet, Parun not only does he cantrip the spell, but if you do have a draw doubler out you are drawin...

SCD - Return the Favor
I think Return the Favor is worth looking at. This just seems like the ultimate in flexibility as far red redirect/copy spells go and for a pretty efficient cost. As far as I'm aware, Return the Favor is the only effect that can copy opponents' activated or triggered abilities. I could be wrong but ...

Re: Non-Basic Land Soft Hosers
Cleansing Wildfire is fantastic. Yes, I wish it were instant speed, but it's honestly good enough to run anyway. Scorched Earth or Raze are both situationally quite good in my opinion. Scorched Earth can be absolutely devestating and is borderline MLD but typically it's "1R, discard a land: de...

Re: Secret Lair "Sheldon's Spellbook"
I ordered 2 foil sets of this. Only the second secret lair I've purchased directly. I think between the Teferi's Protection and the Inkshield I will get my money back. But besides that RIP Sheldon.

Re: Trouble in Pairs - SCD
Mookie thanks for the link. I've been absent from the forums again for a while... just don't have the same kind of time I once did. Ultimately, I'm debating picking up more copies of Trouble in Pairs at the current price for my white decks. This is definitely power creep in action however I feel th...

Re: Was WotC's embrace of Commander a good thing?
Idk, this is a complex subject and a great discussion. There are a hundred ways to stop Thassa's Oracle . The problem is, most decks probably aren't running a high enough interaction density to consistently interrupt it. But this can be said for any compact and consistent combo deck tbh. I have a fr...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Exquisite Blood
Exquisite Blood is a card that I love the effect and flavor of, but like @Dunadain said, it has some issues. "yes, I run the combo" is something I find myself saying frequently, and it subsequently gets blasted off the table immediately.

Trouble in Pairs - SCD
I was browsing this recent set and saw that Trouble in Pairs is currently the most expensive single at 25$ What do you guys think? Nobody seems to be talking about this... This is the latest in the line of cards like Smuggler's Share , Esper Sentinel , Monologue Tax that tax opponents for playing fa...

Henzie - Toolboxing Since '23
I don't have a better name for this deck at the moment. :? I decided to build another Jund deck with a lot of the cards I removed when I swapped to Windgrace in favor of a focused lands matter strategy. With Henzie I can do all the creature feature reanimate shenanigans I want to and my cards can ha...

Re: @mtgnexus Community Deck Project v11.0
I like Henzie a lot. For 3 mana he does so much and probably everything you could want out of jund archetype. He grants cost reduction, haste, card draw, and a sac outlet. fill the deck with powerful etbs and death triggers and you're golden.

Budget deck price and philosophy?
What is your price point for your budget decks and what philosophies do you use when building? Uncommons and commons only? 50$ decks, 100$ decks? Do you tend to lean into your commander more for card advantage and consistency? I've got an itch to build some inexpensive but fun and somewhat powerful ...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion
I'm surprised more people aren't freaking out about Delney, Streetwise Lookout . At minimum, I think it's one of the most powerful mono white commanders ever printed, right up there with Elesh Norn, Mother of Machines but probably will get less hate. Things like Sram, Senior Edificer or Teshar, Ance...

There are at least 2 more dino tribal commanders: Most notably we have the new Owen Grady, Raptor Trainer and Blue, Loyal Raptor . Skipping white means we miss out out on some of the best dinos, however U gives a bunch of really great interaction and card draw effects. We can also run Kalamax, the S...

I would probably go superfriends with it, there are a ton of budget planeswalkers and you get both Flux Channeler and Evolution Sage in these colors. Superfriends is still an archetype I haven't bui...

Best Dino Tribal Commander?
Gishath, Sun's Avatar or Pantlaza, Sun-Favored?
I'm curious to know if anyone feels inspired to build dino tribal with the new commander when they didn't with Gishath or if they are outright swapping their dino leader.
