Re: January 2020 Ban List Update - No Changes

I can't remember offhand exactly when hulk got unbanned but I feel like it was something like 4ish years back. The immediate impact of it was primarily crickets for me and only over time did I start hearing about the issues with flash. Pretty accurate. Hulk unban came together with Leovold ban in a...

Well they won't ban a card before it's even been released, so Thassa's Oracle is safe for at least another three months.
That's why I'm pretty certain it will hit Flash and/or Demonic Consultation.

Re: [Speculation] Ban List Update Prediction Thread

Well, the RC has Thassa's Oracle on their radar , but hopefully they will not ban this interesting cards itself but one of the two cards that are causing problems with it: Flash or Demonic Consultation . Or both? I feel like both cards are being very problematic. It wouldn't surprise me, though, if ...

Re: Gavin Verhey and Command Zone announcement video!

It's too much. I had the feeling since WAR that I cannot keep up anymore with all the sets pumped out so quickly. We're sliding from one spoiler season into the next and it doesn't feel exiting anymore, just annoying. And just as I thought the end of the year would get a bit more relaxing on spoiler...

Re: Commander 2019 how would you upgrade the decks upgrades

I'm also pondering on how to break Anje Falkenrath. Worldgorger Dragon + Animate Dead comes to mind, as we'd be able to generate Infinite mana and also draw the entire deck. Sunscorched Desert as a wincon, but what else could go in there?

Re: Commander 2019 how would you upgrade the decks upgrades

Yeva, Nature's Herald Yeva won't do much in this deck, since the morph spells you cast are colorless creature spells, not green ones. https://archidekt.com/decks/165631#Kadena's_Mystery_Box This is the version I'm about to run. Mystic Forge lets me cast Morphs from the top of my deck, same goes for...

Re: Hybrid mana

It doesn't "trump" the color identity, it's just added to it. That's the problem with your proposal here. Tasigur isn't BG or UG, it's BUG all the time. Trying to get rid of this rule would lead to more confusion, as cryogen and I tried to point out. The RC has a clear stand on that topic ...

Re: Hybrid mana

You cannot play azorius guildmage in a mono blue deck because it has an ability that requires white mana to activate. The ability color identity trumps the mana cost color identity. Like I said, way too complicated. cryogen didn't understand what you wanted to bring across, how should a new player ...

Re: Hybrid mana

So, your proposal is to make the rules even more confusing? It's weird enough that Tasigur is a black creature, but his Color Identity is BUG. Explaining that his identity, depending on the deck you play is UB, GB or BUG would go too far, don't you think? With the same logic you could argue to play ...

So how do you handle a situation where I want to run Azorius Guildmage in my mono white deck, but I have a Gilded Lotus for the second activated ability?
Same goes for Deathrite Shaman, as being mentioned in the video (probably a more prominent example).

Re: Hybrid mana

Basically, the Rules Committee has already stated that this rule is unlikely to change. https://youtu.be/YMgAY7dXfiA?t=382 Imagine the confusion if I cast Azor's Elocutors in a mono-white deck and my opponent wants to counter it with a Red Elemental Blast . The rules say it works, but since I only s...

I've posted my deck list which you can check out in my signature. Not wanting to disappoint you, but only the picture of Zacama leads to the deck thread. The line that says "Zacama, Primal Calamity" leads to your Will & Rowan thread. Just pointing that out in case you want to fix that...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

You'll see in the example I gave that I had increased the commander tax appropriately. When I said "...you'll need to pay the tax again..." I was separating the concept of the tax itself from its magnitude, which I can see wasn't clear. I'll be clearer in future. Yeah, I initially misread...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

Rules clarification needed, I would assume that the vacuum increases the tax for the next casting of that commander? The vacuum itself does nothing to increase the tax, but since your commander is back in the command zone, you'll need to pay the tax again to recast them. So if you've cast your comm...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

My Zacama, Primal Calamity deck says thank you for infinite mana with Sanctum of Eternity with a mana doubler. You don't necessarily need mana doublers when Bounce Lands ( Gruul Turf , Selesnya Sanctuary and Boros Garrison ) and Temple of the False God work as well. Literally any land that taps for...

Re: Sidisi, Brood Tyrant - Zombie Horde and Shenanigans

I dunno, the more I think about it the more it makes sense to me. The morph commander is Sultai when the morph mechanic in the Tarkir block was a Temur thing. Morph in Tarkir was pretty much in all colors, even Sultai. Abomination of Gudul for example. I just hope for some awesome toys in the Morph...
